    What if it was returned by your new wife, who was confused and alarmed by your confusing and alarming purchasing of canned soup en masse, and the things she returned was your legion of canned soups

    Hopefully I would have married someone who I have a level of communication with that they would have talked to me before, during, or after purchasing said cans of soup and we would have been able to reach a consensus like mature adults instead of her feeling the need to do something behind my back?

    But I dunno I also live in California having 100 cans of soup stashed away somewhere would probably not be an awful idea.

    All else considered, the final line, "And so when Ted opened the pantry, I had to quickly tell him that I would go back and buy those cans again," paints a very dark picture of the Cruz household.

    There is that, but there's also sort of a humorous interpretation where you see him open the pantry, and all his soup is gone, and he's so sad and confused.

    Scene ripe for improv: Newlywed Ted, barefoot, gazing blankly out the front window, realizes his bride is gone and she took the soup.

    Go!

    I can't think of an attitude/demeanor one could adopt while buying 100 cans of soup that wouldn't freak someone the fuck out, much less someone I'd married the day before.

    As the grandson of a preacher, I I saw myself smashing my head against the wall if someone ever said this seriously. That's the really sad thing, that someone might believe this.

    I was actually commenting to a friend last night that of all things I have taken from this election cycle it is that the old ways are dying, and fast. Like the campaign stylings of the 90's and early 00's are dead. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, etc have changed the way these races operate at a base level, and the willingness of folks to engage in this manner will only increase as time goes on.

    Part of me really laments how much some of the debates sound like, well, a slightly less (overtly) obscene version of this forum pre-edict. But the rest of me realizes that politics has always been that immature, people used to just couch it all behind a slimy veneer of propriety.

    And then if you go back far enough it loops around and people running for elected office are calling their opponents drunken syphilitc dogfucking traitors

    I don't think I've ever bought more than six or seven cans in one trip, and they were not just one kind of soup!

    That would be even more strange.

    People tell dumb lies all the time, the majority of my twenties stand in sad testament to this.

    They needed a story to humanize him and obviously had to make something up, but they didn't want to go full Ben Carson and claim Cruz tried to kill someone. "Bought a hundred cans of soup" was the compromise choice.

    You guys are getting awfully judgemental of Teddy Cruise's extreme couponing.

    All you need is soup, and the decadence of you non-soup eaters is why this nation is in debt.

    Look, 100 cans of soup isn't even enough soup for 17 days split between two people if you're eating three meals a day.

    What's so strange about doing less than a month's grocery shopping all at once?

    Soup's so easy, you just open the can and eat. No reason to heat it up, it's good right from the can. And there are so many types! Chicken noodle, homestyle chicken noodle, chunky chicken noodle, chicken noodle and stars, scooby-do chicken and noodle, stars and chicken and noodle, creamy chicken and noodle, chicken pot pie and noodle.

    No I don't.

    It's delicious and cheap and I don't have to heat up my non-air conditioned house to cook it during the summer months.
