    Funny to see the shift from “punish the guy who recorded him” to “punish the guy who said it” after it got media attention. It shows how little really care about their executives being racist pieces of shit who despise their customers, they just care about optics.

    Now if only they would make their soup half as salty and bring back the flavorful ingredients.

        Salt is used to hide how bland something is and why most all of our boxed/canned foods are so high in sodium. It’s a general indicator of lower quality products/cost cutting.

        I stopped buying canned soup 15ish years ago when Progresso, whom I loved, jacked up their sodium to over 1800mg per can.

          There may be. But odds are you’ve just gotten used to it.

          We crave flavor and most of the canned/boxed stuff we consume is just low quality crap with generic flavor profiles and a butt ton of salt.

            Makes sense. I sometimes add a crushed garlic clove, some herbs, salt, pepper, msg, and brunoise carrot before cooking to augment.

          I’ve had the same issue. If I’ve forgotten lunch I grab something quick to heat and it tastes bland. I got a chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy microwave dish. I couldn’t believe how much like nothing it tasted

    Kinda ironic considering their canned soups are usually the most expensive. ( At least here in Canada.)

    • Does it matter which specific product? Over here, their “Chunky” brand that competes with Progresso is expensive (around 3 or 4 dollars a can), but the older basic shit like cream of mushroom or chicken noodle are just a few cents per can.

        Here even the basic stuff (cream of mushroom, chicken noodle etc) is quite a bit more expensive than the ‘house’ brands. I usually avoid them because I don’t find they taste any better to warrant the extra cost.

        For example Campbells soup (mushroom) is $2.27 a can, vs roughly $1.50 for in house brand.

    Meanwhile my poor ass bought fancy mushroom bisque for my green bean casserole, a recipe Campbell’s literally made up and brainwashed my parents generation into doing every year, lol.

    Better be good though, this shit was expensive.
