[...] The rest of the story regarding Ranch Style Beans is tragic. We wrote about Ranch Style Beans in 2008 when we found them on the shelves here in Florida. [...]

It’s basic marketing, narrow market (women buying beans for their husbands) to broad market (all consumers of canned beans).

I was saying it’s funny you think the reason for this is because of, your words, “the homosexuals”. Joe, you are disconnected from reality. Do not pass go. Do not collect $500.

I avoided outright calling you a biggot, but hey keep it up. It’s pretty funny watching you go like this.

Yeah Joe, probably those damned homosex-shuls!

Couldn’t possibly be the fact that “Husband Pleasin” on the can clearly is directed at a housewife shopping, and they’re not the only ones who do shopping these days. One phrase is targeted at a specific consumer, the other applies to anyone with an appetite. Maybe it pleases the wifes appetite too, ever think of that?

Or maybe you force your wife to do everything for you while you sit at the computer and try to connect a can of beans to some kind of homosexual agenda in your redneck head.

No matter what Con Agra says now “Ranch Style Beans” were originally and for decades canned in Ft Worth. Way back when I could still work I was a truck drive and delivered the raw beans to the plant there from Nebraska, forty-four thousand pounds at a time

Before we all became so politically correct guy who now says “Appetite Pleasin” said “Husband Pleasin”

Too bad they caved in to be politically correct in their advertising. I suppose the homosexuals (or whatever) found it offensive. Nevertheless, the beans still taste good.

They used to be “Husband Pleasin’” until the 80′s or so. I love them!
