Soup News

Well, the one unexpected week of Creamy Tomato Soup at Souplantation has come to an end. I went over on Sunday and had a bowl and a half, which is about all my reduced-size stomach will accommodate. I also bought and froze a quart for later consumption. It isn't quite the same that way but it's something.

Basic Blogging Ethics require that I make full disclosure here: The Souplantation people decided I was responsible for much Internet chatter about their Creamy Tomato Soup, as well as the mention on The Big Bang Theory. As you all know, we are wholly susceptible to bribery here at newsfromme.com. Send me a big enough freebee and I'll start agreeing that Barack Obama is a Socialist with a fake birth certificate and that our nation's only hope for survival is to elect the McCain-Palin ticket, preferably with Palin in first position.

At the moment, I'm selling out for free soup. They're sending me coupons for lots of it and I shall redeem them next March when, they assure me, Creamy Tomato will reappear as Soup-of-the-Month. There are also apparently ongoing discussions of having it in the lineup more often, which would be nice.

That's all the Soup News for now. Stay tuned to this weblog for late-breaking developments in the soup world.
