"It's amazing! Tomato soup, I can feel it running down my throat!"

I'm actually interested in trying these! There is no way to say this without some kind of double entendre, but I like to suck on things to keep my mouth occupied sometimes. I get tired of sucking on sweet things so, if these are tasty, they might be a nice change of pace!

So far, happily, crickets. Maybe everyone has figured out that I'm an overweight middle-aged man.

I'm going to send you a weird DM just so you feel sexy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So it turns out I don't know how to send DMs on my mobile app. I'll try again when I get to a computer

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

K, I think I did it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hah, thanks! Now I feel less lonely!

What app do you use? I'm using Voyager and it was pretty straightforward to figure out how to DM.

But can we have profile pics/avatars/icons?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I use Thunder on mobile. It's entirely possible that it's simple but I was too dumb to figure out : )

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

We're all into that nowadays.

Suck on some soup. It'll help you feel better.

When I was a (weird) kid, I would suck on the chicken-flavored bouillon cubes. "Weird kid" me would probably have asked for those at the store. Weird adult me will just make soup.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Me too! In hindsight we didn't have a ton of food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I still sometimes eat a pinch of dry buillon. Though IDK if I'd like the same thing diluted and long-lasting, the intensity of the dry stuff is part of the draw for me.

Did Obvious Plant get at job at Progresso???

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

oh, from the thumbnail, I assumed OP was just doing the lazy and photoshopping the "R" into a "P".

as usual, reality is worse than what I imagined.

l've been wondering what horrible stuff we will subsist on after Donald destroys the economy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

So, sugar with salt and MSG? Great!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

I already suck on my soup.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Recently happened upon a Buy 2 Get 3 Free sale on Progresso soup. So I got 15 cans for the price of 6. Oh yeah baby, it's soup time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Are these like shit flavored lolly pops?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

One zuppa Tuscana lollipop, please.
