    Baked beans: hyper-inflating

    This was predicted by Ross O Carroll Kelly in one of his books a few years ago.. one of the characters in the book advised Ross and his friends to load up on shares in Heinz.. because in a recession, the sales of baked beans and ketchup seemingly go through the roof ..

    But I keep thinking of those The Y2K Survivalists and I don't think I could stand the embarrassment.
