CONTEST: Compose A New Chant For Beans
 Cannellini beans, also known as white kidney beans, are one of the many nutritious, delicious beans that are also beautiful. |
Do you remember the classic schoolyard chant, “Beans, beans the musical fruit?”* For years, children have recited variations of this memorable chant, even though beans are a vegetable, not a fruit. (But then, what rhymes with vegetable?) Now, you can right this wrong, win $5,000, a trip to New York City and a meeting with Drew Lachey (recording artist and “Dancing With The Stars” winner). Sponsored by Bush’s Beans, you’ll need to compose a chant and upload a video of yourself performing it. Visit BeanChant.com for details, and you and three pals may be in Times Square with Drew, as you perform your winning number. Here’s the chant Drew wrote to kick off the challenge: Beans, beans have protein to spare Call them a fruit? I won’t even dare They’re a veggie that makes you grow up big and strong And with beans on the table, your meal can’t go wrong |
