Does the tin of beans have a flat front setup?

I'd love this to go to someone who will value it for it's true worth and not be too fussed about what I originally paid and what I'm now asking for this unique tin of beans.
be worth buying to hit you over the head with it

That's a bit of a harsh response to a bit of satire?

Take my advice and hang on to the tin of beans. I sold one a while ago and I've regretted it ever since

If you buy another one you can use one in each hand to build up your biceps, they're an invaluable source of food if your short of cash, and they are marvellous on toast especially after a few cans of the amber nectar!

Of course if the tin is starting to show signs of rust, you could be in for some major bodywork expense, but they generally last quite well.

Spaghetti hoops just don't have the same appeal - So sell those or trade them for another can of beans - You know it makes sense!

Regards
Eddy

Are you asking that because you're interested in breaking it or because you prefer the general look of the flat front models?
