I guess these are probably just Hershey clones but I bought them all to find out!

I got pickled onions, I used to live on the things years ago, the first one almost killed me with the vinegar going down the wrong way.

Re: UK Foods in the US Share your finds!
So how much are Heinz Beans going in your area these days?
Where we've ended up, it's $2.40 a can...the Campbells Vegetarian beans are $1.50 they aren't quite the same, but they're still pretty good...bit mental considering the regular beans around here aren't all that cheap either, around the $2 mark for B&M beans, which are good, but for that kind of money, I'd rather hold out on Heinz.
Plus B&M aren't quite as great on toast, but they are lovely.
