Item of Importance.

Today I am disappointed in tomato soup. It just doesn't taste like it used to when I was a little tacker.

Why, tomato soup? Why? Why did you change?

Or was it me?

WHO CHANGED, TOMATO SOUP?

Hehe, I agree. I used to love the canned stuff and now I can't stand it. Bleh.

It might be that I'm using Coles brand? That can't be good, can it?

AH but what is Coles brand really? You could be drinking the same soup you always did, but Coles has bullied the company into repackaging it as "Coles brand" and selling it for far less profit. *hands*

'Elf and safety found out it had salt, butter and tomatoes in it and banned it. **nods**

This would not surprise me one iota.

WORSE. I bought Coles brand.

Let the stoning begin.

Blasphemy! Are you out your head?

Tomato soup is wonderful. Did you make it wrong?

Did you make it with milk or water? Did you put half a fucking stick of butter in it like you're supposed to?!

Tomato soup is wonderful!!!!!

Did you make it with milk or water?

That's what I was going to ask. I never heard about the butter, though.

Campbells Soup! Ummmm. It's a goood soup.

ex_skewedso December 19 2009, 13:58:14 UTC

Well, I was being sarcastic about using a whole half a stick but yea - I definitely put butter in it. You just put a nice piece in and let it melt as you're eating it...

Yahtzee! I was going to ask the same thing about the water vs. milk. I'd never heard of using milk until I got married, and cream of tomato soup is the only kind of tomato soup Geo will eat. It is nummy-tasty.

And today, with the loads and loads of snow, tomato soup sounds like just the ticket.

They claim your palate changes roughly every 10 years, and that you won't like things you used to love (and vice versa). So the soup's probably the same - it's just that you're an All Grown Up Dragons now.

As a wee one, I used to put spoonfuls of sugar on my Cocoa Puffs. Now I wonder what in hell I was thinking. And how I managed to reach adulthood without all my teeth having rotted out of my head.

Lucy: "What are you eating?"
Linus: "Sugar lumps with honey!"
Lucy: *runs out of the room with her hands over her mouth*
Linus: "They're good with cinnamon, too!"

When I was a kid and my mom was always dieting, I used to make "candy" when she was out by adding lemon extract (or lemon peel squeezings) to white sugar.

My cousin, in his teens, used to have several chocolate-coated Entenmann doughnuts and Coca Cola for breakfast every Sunday. How I envied him. Now I willingly seek out low-sugar cereal. So does time betray us all. Or, possibly, save us.

This is very true. All the things I used to hate when I was a kid I am now full bottle on. I love all my vegies and I used to hate them. And I used to stick a shitheap of salt and sugar on everything, too, but I don't do that anymore.

The thing I notice at work now is all the teenage boys go nutso with the sugar and salt on everything. It's kind of revolting to watch. But try and talk to them about it, and *hands*. You're liable to lose your face. Unchecked access to salt and sugar is essential to maintaining peace in our juvenile prison system.

I'm assuming they'll just grow out of it. Unlike their lives of crime. LOL.
