Last night I was fixing rice and beans to go with my shrimp and I opened a can of Trader Joe's Cuban Style Black Beans and found Red beans inside.
I just used those instead, but I was quite amused.

Me too! Back in the mid-70's, I bought Living & Dying in 3/4 Time only to find some other LP in the sleeve!! Don't even remember what it was I wound up with.LIPH wrote:No, but back in the days before CDs I once bought an album (can't remember which one) and when I got home and opened it the wrong record was inside. Same label, different artist.

I bought a Styx 45 record in the early 80's sleeve and all but Bruce Springsteen's Hungry Heart was the record. Still have it.LIPH wrote:No, but back in the days before CDs I once bought an album (can't remember which one) and when I got home and opened it the wrong record was inside.

Maybe I should have our sales department call on Trader Joe's?
(We have a packaging plant within an hour of their home office and at least 5 rail cars filled with black beans headed our way.)
That's a little over a million pounds of black beans.
