My husband bought me some of my favorite soup, Campbell's Cream of Potato. My mouth got all ready and I sipped the first spoon. I spit it back in the bowl. It tasted TERRIBLE! I thought it was spoiled. Nope. Now! With Sea Salt Added! If I wanted sea salt I'd go float in the ocean!
I just discovered that they've done the same to Vegetarian Vegetable. No more Campbell's soup for me. And I wrote them to tell them where they can stick their sea salt! I don't buy Healthy Choice soups because they taste awful. So they are now going to force their idea of healthy on consumers? The left is taking over everything and forcing their ideas on us. I'm really angry. They stick their nose in every aspect of our lives.
I guess I'll just have to make my own.
Yup. But we pay the same.
The one that gets me is when you used to get a pound of something, all the sudden, it’s in a 14.5 oz box.
Yes. And they are doing that with everything. We're starting to buy more of one item too.
The problem is so many name companies are owned by bigger names we never see.
Gag!
Nuff said ;^)
It’s a labeling ploy, designed to ride the “natural” and “organic” schtick.
I would bet that for every person that actually went to a commune and ate acorns in the 60’s, there are FIVE THOUSAND MOMS out there now who buy only “organic” “vegan” “additive free” “no preservative” food for their little rug rats.
Remember, when it comes to sales and advertising, if you boost sales by one or two percent, that’s a successful campaign.
Sea salt doesn’t have THAT much of a different taste from regular table salt. I don’t know why the soup would have tasted that much different, except for the possibility that they reduced the salt amount, as well as using Sea Salt instead. I don’t usually eat canned soup, except the Healthy Choice, or Low Sodium kinds, because there is so dang much salt in the regular stuff!
Think of any food. Now think of that food with bacon added. Everything is better with bacon!
Hubby says that it says MSG, potassium chloride and high fructose corn syrup.
May be true in the short run, but won't the "This crap doesn't taste good" catch up with you in the long run?
They don't offer it. I even checked their website.
Absolutely it does!
You're probably right but I won't buy it.
It may have been out there for a while but I just noticed that with chocolate chips when I was baking this Christmas. The regular bag of chocolate chips called for in most recipes is 12 oz. You'd think the big double bag of chips would be 24 oz., right? Nope. It's now 23 oz. An ounce to the customer might not seem like a lot but we're being cheated while Toll House and Nestle are making a bundle what with every 25th bag being a 100% profit increase for them.
Hubby says it leaves a sugary after taste. He just finished off my soup. He's not a fan either.
As may be and probably so.
But what does this have to do with Campbell's soup?
How do we know they didn't just get a helluva deal on twenty container loads of sea salt?
Just because salt is something the government wants to regulate does not mean it is doing so in this case.
There used to be bacon chunks in Progresso’s Lentil soup. It’s now called “Vegetarian Lentil”.
Sound the Sharia Alarm! Campbell's Makes Halal Soups
October 7, 2010 Earlier this year, Campbell Canada introduced a line of halal-certified soups. The 15 soups comply with Islamic dietary regulations which, much like kosher regulations, prohibit certain foods and define the right way to slaughter animals.
Campbell's Soups goes halal with approval from Hamas-linked ISNA
LOL!!!
I know! Isn't it a hoot! :-D
We cannot acquire the off-shore oil, but the libs have no problem with acquiring the off shore salt. We need someone to make sea-salt an environmental issue -then, NO MORE SEA-SALT!!!
Thank you, Yaelle. We do make our own Lentil. I just wanted a taste of something that Grandpa and I ate once in awhile. I was simply shocked at the soup now being PC. And tasting like drek.
