Video game from 1998: has a unused object in the code labelled "BEAN" with nothing else attached to it
One of the developers in an interview 15 years later: Yeah we wanted to have a bean item in the game that would make you float around like a balloon but it was rubbish so we scrapped it.
Someone on social media sharing a post sharing the interview from 5 years ago: FUCK!!! This basically means the bean is canon and developers went out of their way to lie to us. Everything will have to be rewritten to accomodate bean.
Youtube video paraphrasing sentences from the associated TCRF article in a spooky voice: Could the ability to float around like a balloon have had a greater meaning? One that may be lost to time. Alas, the bean was never meant to be.
A second developer on social media a few years later: We never had an idea for a bean that makes you go up. I don't know where you got that idea.
