My week of canned beans ONLY nearly broke me

Last month I decided to eat nothing but canned beans for a whole week to prove they're a complete meal. By day 4 I was SO bloated I couldn't button my pants and my roommate said I smelled like a chili factory. I stuck with it but honestly it taught me that even cheap canned food needs SOME variety to work. Anyone else tried a pantry challenge that backfired in a funny way?

Haha oh man that reminds me of my buddy Mark who tried to do a "pantry purge" month where he only ate what was already in his cabinets. Dude ended up eating nothing but instant mashed potatoes and canned green beans for like five days straight because that's literally all he had. By the third day he said his farts smelled like a swamp and his girlfriend made him sleep on the couch. He caved and ordered pizza on day 6 and said it was the best pizza of his life.

Did you at least have hot sauce to make those beans bearable? Cause plain beans for a week sounds like a special kind of torture. @wyatt135 your buddy Mark probably saved his relationship by caving on that pizza, I swear instant mashed potatoes are the last thing you want when you're trying to impress someone. Honestly I'd rather just eat beans and rice together and call it a win than go full bean isolation again.
