Pork and Beans Secret Exposed.

CAMDEN, NJ - You may have noticed recently Pork and Beans has been boasting "now with more beans". Our investigative reporter wouldn't rest until he found out how this could be. Was the can larger? Was less pork (than the single white globule of fat) used? We placed a call to the manufacturer and found the shocking truth.

Their own employee was reluctant to admit that any less pork was used in their product. Instead he claimed they had found "a different way of packing the beans". He did confess there was less sauce or syrup in the new version. But could this alone accomodate significantly more beans? When pressed on the issue of decreasing the pork the company representative countered "No the pork has remained the same. For the last several months they've been shredding the pork. So that it's more equally distributed through out the product." But if it isn't less pork then how were they squeezing more beans into a can the same size? The answer shocked even us. "It's a different bean." It's smaller. Smaller beans!?

The labeling certainly did not brag "now with smaller beans". Nor did it boast "now with even less pork". If that's not misleading marketing well then we don't know beans.
