Can you imagine a can of beans travelling around the world? Being seen in places and sites by many people?
Beans Around the World was originally a way to have some fun with a can of beans. Now it has grown to be something that many people have taken part in. It is the journey of a can of beans, which can be followed via the Internet as the can visits many different states and cities. Is it crazy? It sure is but it is something that seems to be catching on.
Beans-Around-The-World.com is where you can learn more about this interesting scenario. It all began as a joke between two friends who passed some beans back and forth across a fair distance before it evolved into somewhat of a game.
One man’s ingenuity in sending the can forth is always matched by the other in sending it back, whether hidden in a different package or disguised as something else.
Then the company vice president, Mike Park, volunteered to take the can to China, and came back with photos proving the can of beans have seen the Great Wall of China! So thus began its trip around the world.
The website details the places the can of beans had been to, and shows the pictures that prove them. Countries from Europe to Asia, from Africa to Scandinavia, from North to South Americas, and of course dozens of cities in the United States, that can of beans has seen them all. Some had been visited twice and thrice, including many countries in whose cities the beans have toured. From 1993 to 2009, the can of beans had really been around the world.
Still, its originators want more cities, more places, more participants. In fact anyone can join the Beans Around the World (BATW) Ambassadors Club, those men and women who photographed the can of beans in their favorite places. Some pictures showed restaurants, others tourist destinations, still others out-of-the-way locales they have been alone or with their families. All these pictures have a unifying element: the can of S&W Black Beans.
Beans Around the World is a fun idea that shows that it is good to have a laugh and not take one’s self too seriously. Check out their site to see the beans with some fantastic art cars or to see where else they have been. You can also get in on the fun yourself. Browse through the FAQ section if there is anything further that you would like to know. Though the original bean can has been retired, there are still new pictures and bean sightings for you to enjoy.
