Spot The Baked Bean Man

269 comments

Steve Speirs felt creative, and liked our Hidden Coffee Bean Man so much, that he decided to create similar illusion of his own. Below you should be able to spot the hidden face, don't ask me - I haven't spotted it yet. Maybe it was just a hoax, like those Ninja submission. Can anyone solve this one? Last time I had such a problem spotting the illusion, was with that baby illusion. This is what Steve wrote on his blog: "I loved the coffee bean you featured on your site last year. Decided to come up with my own version of the effect. What do you think? Is it possible to add it to your site? Thanks and keep up the good work!" Can this post beat the famous "Hidden Tiger"?

    i think his eye is in the middle bottom of the picture and his nose is slightly below and to the right of his eye (his nose is a bean)

    Found it!!!

    Spoiler alert:
    Top left corner...come down about 2 beans and over to the right about 3 or 4 beans...the face is very faint and laying at about a 45 degree angle...

    I think I've found it, but I've also found a disturbing white alien shape type face too.. Every time I look at the picture, my focus is drawn to that...
    Anyway, the face I see that I think is the one we're looking for, is in the top left quarter of the picture.

    I'm very nearly convinced that Steve is having a laugh at all the folks that are sitting around staring at this pile of baked beans.... I see no face, no man.... just beans.

    Someone, prove me wrong! I would have sworn there was no other tiger in the Hidden Tiger image as well, so I may very well be missing something simple - or, again, maybe Steve's off sipping his coffee and having a bit of a laugh at my expense.

    Found it, but only after comparing it to the original stock footage image on iStockPhoto.com. Sneaky and much less obvious than the coffee bean guy.

    i think it is in a glare 3rd bean from the left its very small

  7. Blogger Neat-Nit 

    I can't find it. and I loved the hidden tiger one XD

  8. Anonymous Finders Keepers 

    It's in the upper left quadrant and very faint, about 3 beans down and 3 beans over. In his blog he has a link to the pic he used, it makes it easier to find it

  16. Blogger Paul 

    Slightly left of center, about one bean up from the bottom, it looks like a smiling, open mouth, but no eyes in sight

  23. Blogger John 

    I spotted a man's face in the top right corner, but wasn't sure if it was the answer or not. So, I found the original photo (here) and compared the two, which confirmed my find.

    I CAN'T FIND IT!!!Can Someone please help?!I remember when the coffee bean one came out and it probably took me about 2 minutes to find the face, but this one's impossible!!!sort of...

  27. Anonymous Dennis 

    I canne find the wee thing.

  28. Anonymous Paul Dundee 

    Took a minute but there he is... much more difficult to see than coffee bean man, as this bean man is actually one of the beans... I thought there were a few in this picture, until I found the real one...very good!!!

    That looks more like pork and beans than baked beans, but I didn't see the face after about 20 seconds of looking.

    i don't know if i'm right or crazy but i think that's the first bean at the left down corner, but the one that appear completely, when i look at the reflection of light i see a face but a small one at the right part of the bean. just tried if i'm wrong!

    i have found it should i just say where it is or? if you're on a laptop, try tilting the screen.

  44. Anonymous Anonymous 

    FOUND IT!!! it is nothing like the coffee bean pic. its more like terrible photoshop skills mixed with a bean. the coffee bean is really a head while this one is a bean that has a foggy face in it. huge difference but good try.

  45. Anonymous Anonymous 

    ohh yea.. its in the upper left region of the pic. looknig right at you.

  52. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I think I see it and if I'm right the title is somewhat misleading as far as the bean part...

  53. Anonymous Zack 

    wow this is a really hard one, it is hidden well..a clue, the face is NOT as clear as in the coffee bean illusion, it's been photoshopped to look like an actual bean, not just a clear face.(a reflection is over his nose too.)

  54. Blogger Adrian 

    Nooo he's there. It's not done as clearly as the coffee bean illusion.

    You'll have to visit his site for the solution, cmyru66.com (it's on the picture)

  55. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I think I see a stick figure bean man. If so, his head is the bean near the top middle(a bit to the left).

  56. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I think I found it

  57. Anonymous Jandals 

    Wow, that one's a lot harder to spot than the coffee bean illusion. It's really not clear enough to be convincing. Even though I can see eyes, mouth and nasolabial folds it could also just be blemishes on the bean. Does that make it a poor illusion or a really good one?

  58. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Also, the more I look at that picture, the more disgusting it looks. Pork and beans is really pretty nasty when you observe it this closely.

  59. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Hmm...I think maybe I spot a face...that is if the face is laying on its side and the bean that is up and to the left of the bean above the copyright symbol is part of the lip and the really prominant bean that is on the right hand side of the pic halfway up is part of the nose and finally the bean to the left of the one that is in the upper right corner is the eye? Also pretty sure there is an ear towards the left more...mk I am hungry now ;p

    I'm going to assume the odd shaped bean is the dude.

  64. Blogger reach4thesky727 

    it's there... i can see it. it's kinda tilted to the left a little... not straight. it's not really easy to see though... it leaves a lot to imagination. But i can see it anyways. it's kinda cool... must have taken forever to arrange.

  65. Blogger Morgan 

    I found the hidden face (I think). Very difficult illision, I had to focus on each individual bean for about 10 seconds until I found the right bean.

  66. Blogger Morgan 

    but the one I found still doesn't jump out at you after you find it like the coffee bean one, so maybe it is the wrong one?

  67. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I examined every bean... I just don't see it.

    I found a beaky sort of face in the bottom right hand corner. Its right above the webaddress.

  80. Blogger Kristi 

    Ok, so i did some research- and the baked bean man IS there. I just wanted to let everyone know because it is super hard (was for me anyway). But it's there. Not a hoax. Happy finding.....

  81. Blogger Kyra 

    Unless it's that one bean on the far right, I give up!

    He's at the top... its a reflection of a person in one of the light spots... maybe?? i dunno.... good one if its for real!

    You should expect the face is made out of beans; But it's more like there is an reflection of a face in the beans (Are those eyes between the beans?)

  93. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I see it, I think.

    Two eyes, a vertical bean for the nose and a mouth.

  94. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Meh, I found it, I had to go to the guy's blog to download the original picture he photoshopped into the bean picture to do it, but it's in there. IMO, this is too lame to be worth any effort. The coffee bean one was great because it was like OMG, HOW DID I MISS THAT?!? This one...isn't like that at all.

    not very fair since he photoshopped it so that his face was VERY very faint.

    if you go to his website, he has a the picture of himself that he used to put in the baked bean photo.
    took me a few minutes even after i looked at his pic, but he's in there

    It's not a hoax, I found the face. Take a look in the moist of the beans in the below right corner. Two eyes are looking over a bean while the rest of the face is hidden behind the bean. I had to zoom in 400% to find it but it is there. Succes!
