“Too many” kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not ‘countable’ as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

    Do you own too much pairs of jeans or too many pairs of jeans?

      Well, if they are neatly hung and countable, I have too many. If they are in a wash basin dissolved in acid (akin to refried beans), then maybe I have too much?

        Too much what? The point I was making was a singular plural unit, just like an amount of (singular) refried (plural) beans.

        Too many refried beans.
