The Quiz: What American entrepreneur created modern baked beans?
Joseph A. Campbell
W.K. Kellogg
Jimmy Dean
Henry Heinz
The Pennsylvania-based HJ Heinz Company, founded by Henry Heinz, was the first to can beans and began mass-producing them around 1895. “Beanz Meanz Heinz” is a clever marketing slogan that the company has been using since the 1960s to promote one of its biggest products. Of course, Heinz wasn’t the first to prepare baked beans. One early recipe was created by Indigenous Americans who cooked beans in fat and maple syrup.
The correct answer to this quiz is Henry Heinz.
