Default Baked bean sized hail - warning

Over the years I've seen many reports from the States with comparisons to
various fruits and balls with respect to hail size but I can't say I've ever
seen baked beans used
http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...275427,00.html

Had me wondering if they were Heinz or Cross & Blackwell.

Jon.

Presumably accompanied by wind.

Did he mean the cans or the actual beans?

The latter would make them the standard, not very small, variety of
hail that most of us know and love.
