Full of Beans

Did you know the phrase "full of beans" originated in Europe in the 14th century when horses were fed with beans grown solely for fodder. After feeding the horse, the owners often noticed that the horses became quite energetic and lively...

[First Choice Purchasing @FirstPurchasing]

Hence the phrase originated to refer to this state of liveliness.

So far in 2021, we have sold over 98,510 tins of beans. That is the enough to feed the population of Waterford City almost two tins of beans per person!

So far in 2021, we have sold over 214,700 litres of cooking oil. That’s enough to fill nearly 1,200 bathtubs with cooking oil.
