Its a comic book, a very old comic book for children.
it was a old term for a noisy festive celebration. It was slang for a bean feast, an annual celebration which included a meal of beans and bacon.
The first parties were wazgoose parties held by printers, but in
the 18th century when landowners started providing an annual feast for their farm labourers and families. The celebrations, with much cider drinking and dancing, lasted all day. The centrepiece was a hearty meal of beans and bacon. Apart from Sundays, it was the only paid holiday that the labourers had, so it was the highlight of their year and became known as a beanfeast.
Later, the mill and factory owners of northern England adopted the same benevolent streak! This time they sent their workers on a day trip to the seaside. The bosses rented trains or convoys of charabancs (an early open-top motor coach) to take the whole workforce to resorts such as Blackpool, Skegness, and Scarborough. Enormous quantities of beer and sandwiches were also provided, and there was much frolicking, singing and drunkenness. The bosses discovered that paying for a day at the seaside for their workers, away from the dust and noise of the factory, was a worthwhile investment. It gave their workers something to look forward to and some fresh air for their lungs. It was a big event in the workers' lives. This was probably the only holiday they were likely to get, so it is only natural that they looked forward to the works' outing, or beano as it became known.

All of the above…'The Beano' is a comic in the UK or a day/night out
& apparently for our American friends…it’s a wind medicine!

Years ago the Beano was a great British comic totally politically incorrect!. I haven't seen it for years but no doubt now it's a PC comic,yuck!
To have 'beano' or a beanfeast was an expression meaning to pig out and have a party

Beano before, quiet after. It's an anti gas medication, over the counter. It is American, but I'm sure you could import it or possibly find it in stores in the UK.

Beano is the trade name of an over-the-counter remedy that reduces intestinal gas from eating certain vegetables. It contains enzymes that hydrolyze some complex sugars in plants that the human body doesn't have enzymes (or doesn't have enough enzymes) to digest.
When the body can't digest them totally, normal healthy bacteria in the gut do the job. In the process, they produce large quantities of hydrogen, methane and carbon dioxide gases. The enzymes in Beano break down the sugars into more digestible simple sugars before the bacteria can get to them.

It's an american product designed to keep you from farting so much.. or at least to not stink up the place so bad. See if you can buy it online. What with the american postal system the way it is, shipping and handling probably won't cost too much if you get a big supply.

Its a supplement that reduces gas. There is several different brands. I would be surprised if they sell that brand in the UK. Normally companies will change the name according to cultural standards. Your chemist or pharmacy will have something similar.

It was (? is) a comic with Desperate Dan, Biffo the Bear and lots of others in it.
Or were they in the "Dandy"?
Either way they were 3 old pence (about 1 new one) each and I bet they would a pound now.
