Similar story here, but found them out about 15 years ago.Funny how brands work. I exclusively bought Heinz Beans. Brought up on them as a kid, ate nothing else to the age of 45. Then they racked up the price due after COVID, so I switched to own brand / value.
After three I treat myself to a couple of tins of Heinz this week... hated them. Eurgh. Not right at all.
It's like my entire life was a lie or something.
Now only buy Branston beans and find Heinz bland.
