A Warwickshire man is in the running to earn￡500 from a 10-year-old tin of baked beans which he found in the back of his cupboard.

　　Tesco is offering the money to the first customer who can produce a can of 1993 Tesco Value Baked Beans.Mark Pugh found the beans, which originally sold for 17p, in the back of a cupboard at work. "I'd seen a tin lying around somewhere and when I couldn't find it at home, I had a look in the office." He has written to Tesco about his beans and is awaiting a reply.

　　They want to display the tin in their head office as part of a display marking 10 years of the cut-price value brand.
