Mystery of the exploding beans can

aristotle25

Strange one, I was was opening a beans can the other day and it just exploded out as soon as I went to peel back the lid resulting in a not so nice splash of crap all over the kitchen (and me!). It was fairly loud bang and pressure out of it.

See pictures attached. Most of the beans left in the can were just mush and there was a lot of foamy type of stuff in the can. Any scientific folks have an answer for what happened?

I did contact the company in question and just got a "sorry about that" response.

Better than opening a can of worms

Were you humping the tin? It looks suspiciously like there's cum in your beans.

Hande hoche!

Demonic possession.

I hear that's a real mood killer in the kitchen !!

Some plant or organism (besides delicious beans in rich tomato sauce) got in there at the canning process. It started growing and producing carbon dioxide, which built up in the can over time. The analogy is wrong but I can't help visualising the can of beer that Bart shook up for Homer in The Simpsons - hopping and shaking, just waiting to be opened.
Just count your lucky stars OP. If it had been a can of meatballs, someone could have been seriously injured. BTW, don't even think about scraping the beans off your walls/floor and eating them (however tempting that may be), the organism could be poisonous!

Just looks like someone wanked into the tin.

Though if your man-goo is foamy you probably should see a GP..................and a therapist to sort out your ****-into-bean-tins antics.

Is there anything to be said for saying a mass?

Those beans would never win the "Most Photogenic Beans Nobel Prize", that's for sure.

Someone obviously tried to kill you by doing a fart into the can before sealing it.:)

Could we have a few pics of the kitchen walls please.

Looks like someone jizzed into it :eek:

I reckon a ghost got sealed in the tin by accident, and then exploded out as soon as it got the chance.

Its probably quite angry now too, what with being sealed in a beany casket all this time. Best be careful, he might still be in your house seeking revenge.

The beans were too warm going into the tin and cooled and contracted. When you opened it the resulting rush of air in sent the beans out. Blowing your beans like this is not recommended in the kitchen.

Go on...... spill the beans!

What did you do to the tin before this happened!

obviously some joker shook the can up before putting it away in the cupboard

Didnt take any, I suppose the walls weren't too bad, most of it got on my shirt and arms.

Nothing, it was in the cupboard. I did notice the lid on the can was a bit bumped up before I tried to open it but just assumed it was a bit out of shape. Obviously it was the pressure building up inside of it.

are you friends with the chap who put his galaxy3 in the microwave?

Exploding beans? That's gas.

Botulism?

I saw a fine mess once when someone put an unopened tinned steak and kidney pie in an oven, BOOM.

What's the sell by date? Is it in this century by any chance :pac:

PK2008

OP, I think I speak for everyone in this thread when I say; show us the pics of you/your kitchen destroyed with beans

TNS Radio

It seems from looking at the photos that you actually had the tin opened completely is that the case ? or did it go KABOOM on you when you broke the seal ?

Kind regards

Bean Demon.

Pretty common in certain eastern European countries.

Some of them Latviolaks must have brought one over when they were coming here to steal our jobs and rob our gym equipment.

They were probably gone off and start to release gases.

If so you were lucky you didn't eat them or it would have been your arse that exploded.
