Remember "cool beans"? How did it come to mean "sounds good"? Most people, when asked if they want cool beans, aren't excited by the proposition. Beans and rice: now we're moving in the right direction. But plain, cool beans? Even a vegan would ask, "Well, can you at least warm them up? They're friggin' beans."
In fact, if I like something, I'm skipping the whole legume group and moving to a more exciting place on the pyramid, as in "every place except the bean part". Even spinach is cooler than beans. At least spinach has an aura of danger about it now. If beans want to retain their place in pop culture, they're going to have to kill someone. And not while still in a can. That's too easy. They're going to need to lodge themselves in a windpipe at the minimum.
You are on notice, beans. Unless you start tasting good all by yourself, things are going to go downhill.

Remember? Hell, I still say it! and what do you mean beans aren't dangerous? Clearly you've never spent the night with someone after they've ingested an entire bowl of chili or similar bean dish. Whoa. If that isn't risky, I don't know what is. phew!
This is my second favorite Meghan phrase. My first is "whoops."
I had no idea Meghan said "cool beans". Meghan, if you are reading this, you need to upgrade the phrase, possibly to "big beans" or "cool b's".
