    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.

    Have you got anything without noodle?

    We have some chicken and letters. Pasta letters.

    I don't want any pasta.

    Then you want broth.

    No I don't.

    We should never elect anybody President whose mental ability to cook food so they don't starve to death stops at "heat up a can of soup."

    I regularly used to buy 36 cans of Campbell's Chunky Chicken and Sausage Gumbo every couple of weeks when I couldn't be bothered to cook yet wanted hot food. The problem is there aren't enough calories to sustain normal metabolism, so I had to supplement with a jar of peanut butter and fiber bars

    What's hilarious is it's way cheaper to just make a pot of homemade soup.

    And then you can put meatballs in it.

    Sort of, a lot of them process dead human bodies into dehydrated protein bars and just call it "soylent"

    Considering they like to use dead people as sustenance (Reagan, soldiers killed, aborted babies, executed prisoners, etc).... I wonder.

    Stoned Ricky would probably buy 100 cans of soup in a single go. But I'm willing to let that slide since he's not, ya know, trying to run a country.

    Soup is terrible for munchies. I find Stoned Ricky's munchy choices questionable.

    Ted Cruz doesn't eat the soup.

    The prisoners in his basement eat the soup.

    Ted eats the cans.

    If you're getting a decent bulk discount you might as well get 100 cans of soup, it'll last for years and eventually you'll get through it. Isn't that the whole point of places like Sam's Club?

    If we're going to elect somebody President who is going around buying 100 cans of soup because they can't cook why don't we just elect Dan Ryckert?

    On the one hand he's grossly unqualified, but on the other, he'll probably, completely accidentally and through no active decisions of his own, end up enacting a bunch of really successful initiatives that usher this country into a new golden age.

    Jesus, talk about a flashback. Also, googling the phrase "spaghettios in the shower" turns up the urban dictionary entry as like the fifth result, which I feel is kind of impressive?

    Imagine how awkward it would be when President Cruz hosts a White House dinner with foreign dignitaries

    And they all sit at the table and are served a can of soup.

    Not even poured into a bowl or anything, just an opened can and a spoon.

    Personally i wouldn't mind having that much Clam Chowder around the house, but i'm oddly certain it wasn't that?

    Were I in that situation, I'd assume it to be part of some sick game that I would need to fight my way out of.

    Ted Cruz strikes me as a Green pea soup man. No exciting morsels of food within, just a homogenous mash of human-type nutrients that can easily be consumed through his concealed proboscis.

    The article specifically stated 'Campbell's Chunky Soup' so we can start from there. Let's go and take a look, shall we?

    ...

    Jesus, there's 81 different flavors.

    I once bought 20 cans of Campbell soup. To be fair, it was a combination of a 10 for $10 sale with an overreaction to getting snowed in for a week without power the winter before.

    That's prudent and wise. Growing up on the Gulf Coast in Hurricane Alley, we do the same thing with all kinds of canned foods, it's just what you do.

    But ten for ten ... hmmm.

    What nineteen flavors would I double up on? That's the real question here.

    To be fair, the majority of those flavors didn't exist back then and Campbell's is double or triple dipping on some of those because they consider the healthy and microwave bowl versions to be actual different flavors. I'd say he'd probably had to pick from 10 or so different soups at the time.
