It has 15 different types of beans in it and it can be bought pre packaged. 15 different beans!
It's always an odd number with beans.
This, 5 (or 3) bean chilli. Heinz and their 57...

False advertising. There are way more than 15 beans in that bag!
And it's not even soup!
This would probably be great with my favourite baked beans recipe. I usually use a mix of cannelini, butter and red kidney beans, but I'm happy to experiment.
There is no way these beans all have the same cooking time
Just cook them longer. You can't over-cook beans.
Not universally true but in the context of soup yeah fair point
This and a $.99 thing of chorizo and some rice and we have dinner for a week.
Or a ham hock. Or both.
There's way more than fifteen beans in there. I'd say there's at least like 200.
It’s just 50 servings of the 15 bean soup!
I'm unemployed and involuntarily vegan for health reasons. Dried mixed beans, brown rice, and frozen vegetables are keeping me alive.
GAS GAS GAS
He barely has to wipe.
Watch out for low-flying brown missiles!
Doesn't the body get used to eating that many beans? Like, Mexicans eat them all the time. Also I eat them as often as I can and I don't think they really affect me that much.
I like to think it has more to do with the dried or dehydrated foods suddenly becoming rehydrated causing a mix of bacterial bloom within the previously barren food and difficulty digesting/passing the food resulting in the carbohydrate fermentation and flatulence as a means of pushing it through, but idk I'm not a butt engineer.
I soak all my own beans and I don't have the issue. As someone else said, it may have to do with our individual gut flora or something.
I heard, from John Ralston Saul of all people, that the trick is to change the water.
Wait until you hear about fruit!
I'm a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.
What happens when you eat them more? As a scientist, that is.
They make you toot.
I miss fruit.

I prefer 239 bean soup. Yes, it must be exactly 239 beans, not even one bean more.
If 239 bean soup had even just one more bean, it would be too farty bean soup.
What if you have it with a cup of coffee? Does that count towards the bean counter?

I'm sold, this sounds fantastic! Where might I procure it in the UK do you reckon?
God I wanna eat it right now
With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soup—it’s like getting five thousand soups in one!
15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 * 9/(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005
Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir
Why assume there are 6 beans in a spoonful? Maybe 15 choose 8 is a more common scoop... Assume no partial beans in spoonfuls. Also assume each bean type is as likely to be "scooped". Finally, assume an infinitely large bowl of soup.
Op must not learn of the secret 16th bean.
Do not speak of this evil. It's too powerful.
