    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.

    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.

    it was 100 cans of cream of celery.

    I never eat soup on its own

    Usually it is with a sandwich

    Dip a nice turkey sandwich in some broccoli cheddar soup and you are good to go

    you know what's disappointing is a broccoli and cheddar soup where the broccoli is chopped up really fine, you can barely even tell it's there

    you got to have decent sized broccoli chunks

    What I don't get is that in the USA, the home of home delivery of fast food, why would Cruz choose to eat canned soup? He still has to open the can, put it in a bowl, warm it up, eat it with a spoon, wash the bowl and spoon when he's done...

    Just get some Thai delivered and everything goes in the garbage when you're done. Easier, tastier, healthier.

    I'm more curious about how she didn't know already about this soup thing.
    I mean, you'd think that "I'm the kind of guy who stocks up on soup by the pallet" would have come up at some point in time before getting married.

    "Honey, why do you have 15 cans of soup in your cabinet, and nothing else?
    "Oh shit, I'm down to my last 15 cans? Be right back...

    That just seems like conversation that would have been had.

    Chunky Chicken and Grilled Sausage Gumbo is the closest you'll get to actual gumbo now that you don't live with your parents

    Why would you eat anything else

    How do I not burn the roux

    How do I not have the andouille overpower everything

    How much file is too much

    How do I shred the chicken without over boiling it

    Where the heck do I get fresh bay leaves

    I think we need to do some mythbusting here. How many cans can you fit in a bag before ripping? Does paper or plastic make a difference? How many trips would you need?

    Plastic, four, six if you double bag, add 2 cans if you don't need to walk more than 200 feet. Assuming you have a car, that's 7 trips to the pantry, 4 if you work out.

    If he double bagged those paper bags, they can hold a crap load of soup cans. Figure 8 cans per layer, 2 or 3 layers per bag (I'm guessing 3 would take it up to about 3/4s of the way full). That's 16-24 cans per double paper bag. Assuming your bagger was halfway competent, anyway. You don't have too much in that bag that's going to cause a stress point that could start a tear. Filling the bags up would mean 3-4 trips to unload them, depending on how many cans per bag, of course.

    Plastic bags though, not so much. probably have to limit it to 8 cans per plastic bag, even if you double bag them, the handles on top are going to tear if you go much above that.

    But really, if you're buying that much soup, you'd probably ask the manager if they had some spare boxes so you could haul that soup home without having to make too many trips.

    If you use paper for more than 8 cans you'll have to bottom carry, which doubles the trips to the pantry and is a disaster if you walk home. I don't trust paper handles

    The Democratic Party, plus the Clinton and Sanders campaigns are suing Arizona over the poor state of their primary.

    This implies he bothers to empty it out of the can to warm it up to eat, he might just be cracking it open and chugging soup cold.

    Maybe he does a Popeye and just squeezes the can open and shoots the contents into the air, catching it in his maw and powers up his levels of Cruzosity.

    It's pretty back and forth from what I've heard.

    Though I'm not sure where Clinton was going with the crime bill providing opportunities for young people. Outside of maybe some police hiring initiatives I can't really think of how that applies unless the whole microbrewery trend grew out of people spending their 20s learning to make sangria in the prison terlet.

    In all seriousness, the notion that we should put MORE obstacles in the path of voting, instead of less, is fundamentally toxic in my eyes. I really, REALLY wish the Justice Department had greater resources to clamp down on voter suppression efforts like what we saw in Arizona.

    I know I've joked about deporting Trump earlier in this thread but man, subverting and obstructing the democratic process this country was founded on ranks just under treason as reason to eject somebody from their citizenship in my mind. We take away citizenship over people dodging taxes. Trying to take away the rights this country was founded on strikes me as way worse.

    I've watched every debate and I have lost track of the number of times she has started a sentence with, "Well, I worked with President Obama on..."

    Which is fine, that's experience she can cite in a debate, but I as a political addict get a sort of broken record effect.

    Bernie repeats himself a lot too.

    Senator Sanders, Donald Trump has been quoted as agreeing that water is wet and the sky is blue. What difference is your opinion on these comments than Trump's?
