It has 15 different types of beans in it and it can be bought pre packaged. 15 different beans!

With an average-sized spoon, every spoonful could be a different type of 6 bean soup—it’s like getting five thousand soups in one!

    15 choose 6 == 15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11 * 10 /(6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) == 5005

    Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir

    Why assume there are 6 beans in a spoonful? Maybe 15 choose 8 is a more common scoop... Assume no partial beans in spoonfuls. Also assume each bean type is as likely to be "scooped". Finally, assume an infinitely large bowl of soup.
