This is the feel good story everyone needs today. We all have a favorite dish that we CANNOT live without, right? Meet Bean, an autistic boy from the US who eats his beloved peanut butter and jelly muffins three times a day. Unfortunately, his stock is almost empty, which is why he wrote a heartfelt letter to Lidl US on Twitter.
1. This is happy Bean with his 72 peanut butter jars.
2. Another special offer like this from Lidl would of course be ideal.
I’m now on Jar #72. My mom says it’s time for you to have another peanut butter sale.
Thanks for your help.

3. But Lidl even raised the ante.
Hi @BeanPhilosopher – If you get 72 retweets, we’ll give you 72 more jars of our peanut butter.

5. People all over the world celebrate this young kid and his eternal love for peanut butter.
Bean’s mum is always on his side and supports him no matter what.
I’m his mom… he always dresses that way, and it’s unlikely he’ll ever change. 💙

Bean, you rock!
6. The peanut butter fanatic can be quite picky at times.
Same goes for the jam of course.
Lidl couldn’t agree more!

7. For all the concerned citizens out there:
Bean’s mom here. To the folks worried about his diet:
Like many kids with autism, he’s sensitive to textures and self-regulates his food. Three pediatricians & a registered dietician have consulted on him over the years; he’s fine & healthy & an amazing kid.#lidlBeanutButter

Everything’s fine.
8. Lidl holds up their end of the deal and gives Dean yet another proposal.
We’ve got 72 jars on the way! Are you willing to up the ante?! If you get 72,000 RTs we’ll give you a lifetime supply of peanut butter. Do you accept our challenge? #LidlBeanutbutter

9. Sounds promising, but how about first filling up the current stock?
Considering offer.
In the mean time we’re at dangerously low #LidlBeanutbutter levels. Where can we pick up our 72 jars? pic.twitter.com/bjx6sondD8

10. But don’t sweat it, Lidl has everything under control.
The Lidl elves are working overtime to get the shipment to you! If you need an emergency jar in the meantime DM us and we’ll see what we can do 💫 pic.twitter.com/QsWpJmE3YY

11. The dream becomes reality!
12. Respect, Lidl US!
13. The story has a happy end for our dip dye hero: the goods have arrived!
@BeanPhilosopher picked up his 72 jars of peanut butter from our local @LidlUS store this morning. Huge thanks to the Lidl team and the staff of the store for being so kind and gracious to us, and in particular, to Bean. He’s happily numbering the new batch.
