About

"I;m thinking about thos beans" (sic) is an intentionally misspelled catchphrase often used in tandem with an image featuring baked beans, specifically the American canned bean brand Bush. The phrase is used in shitposting.

Origin

On July 23rd, 2015, Bill Foster, a former Waco, Texas newspaper reporter who now works as a sales and marketing associate, used his Facebook to comment "I;m thinking about thos beans" on the official profile of Bush's Baked Beans. As of October 19th, 2015, the post has received 174 likes and 153 shares.[2]

Spread

A screenshot of Foster's post, with his last name removed, was posted to the subreddit /r/oldpeoplefacebook[1] on August 19th, 2015, where it gained over 238 points (97% upvoted).[1] Another screenshot of the post, this time superimposed on a photograph of Foster, was posted to Imgur on September 25th, 2015, where it received over 19,000 views.[5] In early October, other Facebook users began posting the quote on the official profile of Bush's Baked Beans; as of October 19th, 2015, hundreds of posts to the page have been made by users.[3]

A petition was created on Change.org to both persuade Bush's Beans to cast Bill Foster in a commercial, and to give him a lifetime supply of beans. The petition has gained over 730 signatures as of October 19th, 2015.[4]
