Toni – I think a lot of it might be water retention.

Peggasus – 10 cents a piece!?! Holy crap! If I collected those General Mills things over the years and given them away to a school or something, I probably could’ve given them enough to build a building.

Gia on Guam – I saw that in the store. I wondered what it tastes like and I was going to buy it, but decided on the safe bet and picked up the chicken noodle soup and New England Clam Chowder.

BTW, if you should consider buying this tubby tub of M-M-Goodness, don’t, DON’T, DO NOT try the Italian-Style Wedding Soup. The spinach is a gloppy mess, the meatballs are tasteless and there is not enough pasta to make it the least bit satisfying. If they really serve this at weddings, it’s another reason for me to stay single.

That picture frightened me when the page opened, it’s so Crazy-HUGE! Yikes!

As for the Campbell’s and other assorted lables, our schools discontinued them because it was such a big pain in the ass to count and submit them for relatively little payback. Those General Mills thingies, on the other hand, are worth $.10 apiece, which has bought thousands of $$ worth of gym equipment over the years.

Thus ends my Public Service Announcement as a former PTA Mom.

Man, that Campbells soup on the right sure is a tubby little bastard, isn’t it? Seriously!

Oh, and you forgot the bulimia route (i.e., every starlet who ever existed).

AWE – That’s a hot AND cheap AND gassy date.

Tanya – Actually, wearing a men’s thong for a review…Ideas…Ideas.

Chuck – I would agree. “Heat and enjoy” sounds like something that should cost a little more.

lightpinksheep – Yup, I’ve been Slashfood-ed. Actually it’s the third time I’ve been mentioned on Slashfood. It’s a blog I read on a daily basis.

I still think the “Just Heat And Enjoy” logo makes this soup sound slutty, whether it’s similar to Anna Nicole or not.

Welcome back Marvo! You took a little christmas vacation, and you get back here and review soup!!! I expected to see some reviews of cheap champagne, velcro underwear, altoids, thongs (for men) – something more sexy than curvy condensed soup :0)

Just think 2 containers of soup, 2 burritos, and a 7-11 microwave = Hot Date.

Megan – Hmm…Sounds like it has an eating disorder.

Chuck – I guess they are alike, However, oddly, I can understand what the Heat & Enjoy Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup is saying better than I can Anna Nicole.

Webmiztris – We didn’t have Campbell’s labels, but we did have milk carton tops and soda can tabs. I still don’t understand how schools made money from milk carton tops. I don’t think it’s possible to recycle milk carton tops, unless it’s what they put in the cafeteria food. Then that would explain a lot.

nat – I believe that the ONLY situation when size really matters is when deciding whether I should get the six-inch or foot-long sandwich from Quiznos.

~Moi~ – It’s easy to get a free WordPress blog. Just sign up at http://www.wordpress.com. Man, I totally sound like an ad for wordpress.com. WordPress.com where dreams come true and everybody can learn about your psycho ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend.

Muneer – I guess convenience does cost more. Plus, I’ve got money to burn. Okay, I don’t have any money to burn. But if I did, I would start would those damn pennies. “hippies can’t stand death metal”

Gia on Guam – Hmm…You’ve got me thinking. I don’t frickin’ need microwaveable Tupperwear. I just need to get me more microwaveable soup bowls.

klew – I believe “heat & enjoy” was also somewhere on that Trojan heating lubrication I reviewed a few months ago.

Karen – Chickens must lose their lives, or else they’ll take over the world. They reproduce like crazy.

Bryan – That’s REALLY cheap eats! However, I did leave the creamed corn.

Oh man. You used to steal those cans out of the food drive box too? I swear though… I only took what I needed. Or that which I had a particular hankering for. Which means that no needy folk ever got any oysters or canned clams…

I haven’t had campbell’s chicken noodle soup in a long time. Maybe it’s time to go back to basics. Except the cans aren’t a quarter any more…

But it has curves in all the right places (the better to grip it). And the plastic is more environmentally unsound than the previous recyclable can. I wonder which proofreader missed the “just heat & enjoy” printed twice right next to each other.

I cheat and buy only one of these with the microwavable bowl soups. I then wash it out and save it for the next time I have canned soup. I pour my soup into the microwavable bowl and viola! it’s like I paid $ 2.45 all over again!

Thats my problem with all of these single serve soups. They are really expensive. I mean, how much does a can of condensed soup cost? $.75 for Campbell’s, and $.33 for the store brand. Could buy over 5 cans of soup for this price. $1.75 is how much PDQ (massive gas station, could go grocery shopping here) charges for a hot cup of soup.

Damnit, now i’m hungry.
