Roughly 30 teens referred to Rush University Medical Center in the past year displayed a range of involuntary actions, from jerking arm movements to curse words to head and neck twitches. Self-injurious behavior was common, according to some doctors, with many patients displaying bruises and abrasions resulting from their tics. Caroline Olvera, a movement-disorders fellow, noticed that numerous teens were saying the word “beans,” often in a British accent. Even patients who didn’t speak English were saying it. Some patients mentioned they had seen TikTok videos of others with tics.

    For some reason their baked beans originate in the UK even though the company is American.

      "In 1886, Heinz Baked Beans were first sold at the Fortnum & Mason department store in London."

      Mr Ambassor, with these baked beans you are spoiling us.
