However, others saw the funny side.
One pun-loving person said: ‘Absolutely out of order. It’s bean a while for most people since they last ventured out to the park, let’s hope that karma ketchups to those doing it.’
Another added: ‘In Heinz-sight someone should clean that up.’
Someone else added: ‘Someone has already bean on all the rides.’
