It was the Seth ‘Meyer’s show last night that made the joke “obviously they are dropping the “Soup” from name because they are getting into weapons manufacturing.”
I have no comment on the typographical atrocity.

Oh, the Apostrophe’s Protection Society!
They do protect more than one apostrophe, so the Apostrophes’ Protection Society.

That’s what I was thinking. Just wait til they become “The Campbell’s Companies”.

Only Alphabits, and to be fair they’re the pasta fragments that didn’t form identifiable shapes just labeled as punctuation.

I mean, if someone made this complaint about a boingboing post they would possibly get a pedant pendant*. I think Rob should be awarded! or rewarded? Who knows, except the pedants!
(*but only if they weren’t trying to get it, if I remember the rules correctly.)
And if the Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese candle actually exists, shut up and take my money.

Somebody definitely will take your money.
It looks like those were a limited release in 2022. I only see them on eBay now, at clearly aspirational prices. They were released originally at $24. (Amazon lists a bunch of Andy Warhol brand candles not affiliated with 'Campbell’s)
[ETA] I notice those little ornaments. Can’t decide if they are snowmen or golden poopmojis . . .

And isn’t that refreshing? Something engaging that isn’t political?
Even Taytay tried to link in to the cat videos crowds with her political endorsement. I’m all for finding things to engage without the outrage.
I see what you did there, @beschizza !

Conspiracy theory alert: Maybe there is no longer any soup in those cans. Maybe, MAYBE, it’s like when KFC dropped the Kentucky, the frying and chicken, and when Kraft Dinner first dropped the Mac AND Chesse then altogether dropped the kraft and dinner and just became KD.
I’m not being serious. But maybe I am. Who knows? Not even me.

Y’think it’s just a coincidence that this is happening so soon after Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment filed for bankruptcy?
(Well, yes, it probably is.)
