I might try it if offered. Not going to make an order for it.
I think they embed in something that gives it the consistency of hard candy?
Anyway, I have had a cold all week and not mentioned it until now because it wasn't on topic. I wish I had regular soup.
Enough sugar to be hard might be too much to be savory.
People have reviewed it as if it were real: https://www.thetakeout.com/1758741/progresso-chicken-noodle-soup-drops-review/
Apparently terrible.
The main ingredient in these drops is isomalt, which is a type of sugar substitute that's made from sugar alcohol -- so it's not actually sugar. That means it's a keto-friendly ingredient, if you can believe it. What's interesting is that isomalt's not as sweet as real sugar, but creates the same kind of glassy vehicle that sugar would in hard candy.
I was right!
If we could put gifs in the comments, I'd put the one from Spy Kids where Steve Buscemi says "Do you think God stays in heaven because He's afraid of what he created?"
Reminds me of Campbell's "Brothtails" line from a couple years ago. These kinds of products feel like a new form of viral marketing. Not meant to succeed in their own right, just generate attention for the brand.
Absolutely fabulous innovation. Def the work of a job/wealth creator. Soon to be head nutritionist at one of the rocket to Mars bitchez companies.
I use bouillon a lot. Bouillon from mexico or central America packaged for bodegas is much much better than US-produced supermarket kind.
They put clamato in beer in Mexico. Maybe they'd like this.
Unless mayonnaise in beer is a thing.
Slathering mayonnaise on corn on the cob is definitely a thing in Mexico.
I like Clamato in beer and mayonnaise on corn. I've never had mayonnaise in my beer but I'm not going to rule it out.
Mayo on fries was a revelation. French cooking is really better.

Micheladas are amazing and not at all the same class of thing as this "soup you can suck on."
Curry Ketchup remains undefeated.
It's like Dune because it has Muad'Dib in it, like a car insurance commercial because it has Dean Winters in it, and like The Maltese Falcon because it has Sam Spade.

I don't know enough about Buddhism to say anything intelligent about Shambala, but I can say it's gorgeous and entrancing. USD 1.1m buys you a lot of movie in Nepal.

And yaks. Many, many yaks. But mostly movie. Fascinating in many ways. Also, @Barry, part-funded by Arrakis.
31,32 Thanks for the heads up. They fund a lot of great films. Hopefully it will screen here so I can see it on the big screen (they don't always though, forex, this excellent film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustang_(film) got a ton of awards and prestigious nominations but they wouldn't show it here, there's no nudity or sex in it but I guess the subject matter was thought to much for a religiously conservative audience. I push for a screening with my friends who work at the film institute here a lot. If you get a chance, see it; on the surface it's a teen/tween girls coming of age story with a gripping prison break story at its heart.
Monsieur Spade has Clive Owen's butt.
Micheladas do not require tomato or clam juice! (They can have them, sure. Gusty bus.)
That's Spanish for "I like buses"?
How do you make a michelada without tomato juice?
I have been locally informed that the original michelada added only salt and lime juice.
Can you add a raw egg? I'm trying to up my egg consumption to drive up the price more.
That's the shortest person I've seen run that far.
I bet on the Eagles, but I had to give 31.5 points. So I'm finally relaxing.
Salt, lime and chile is how the michelada got started, and I'm sure is still the default in many parts of Mexico, but at least in any border state in the US, I think if you order a michelada nowadays you're expecting tomato juice, and the salt-lime-chile conocoction would be some other sort of cerveza preparada. Which is also tasty!
42: it's like you're asking for bird flu.
You can pasteurize an egg by leaving it next to the smoke detector for a half an hour.
Can I cheer on the Chiefs without risking disease?
I just realized that the AFL championship trophy is named after the brother of the guys who tried to corner the silver market.
Poor Swifties. They're all sad now that Travis can't go to the Grammys.
I'm good with tomato juice. Clam is where I draw the line.
The person quoted in the article appears to be a real upper middle class mom in Minnetonka. We don't have any mutuals on FB or LinkedIn though. Should I email her and ask if she wants to drop in here?
I hope someone's keeping track of all the pardoned January 6 coup participants. So far:
one has been shot dead by police: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/indiana-man-pardoned-jan-6-crimes-killed-traffic-stop-shooting-deputy-rcna189502
one has been rearrested for a firearms charge
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/23/january-6-pardon-man-arrested
and one is on the run accused of CSA
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-pardoned-jan-6-rioter-190927630.html
Weren't there at least a handful arrested on CSAM/molestation charges?
One at least, very possibly more - I'm wondering if some industrious person is keeping track of all those incidents in one place.
Happy year of the snake, reprobates.
I saw some tweet that had links to four or five of them the other day but didn't pay much attention because it's another dog bites man story
I'm a gold pig myself. Not sure what that means.
I have a recurring annoying conversation every few years where everyone shares what Chinese animal they are, and I explain that I can't remember, because of where my birthday falls, and the person asks what year I was born, and I say, "Birth year isn't enough, because sometimes Chinese New Year is before my birthday, and sometimes after, so you have to actually look up what day Chinese New Year fell on in 1978," but then often times the other person does not want to hear "You do not have enough information to answer this question" and keeps arguing with me that it's the horse or whatever.
It's either the horse or the snake, I know that much.
49: if you actually want to pasteurize an egg, you can. I men the pros do it, and you can sort of do it at home in a water bath. https://www.seriouseats.com/how-to-pasteurize-eggs-8675279
You should just consult the manual of your smoke detector.
You can pasteurize an egg by leaving it next to the smoke detector for a half an hour.
Yes, but the egg will then have a disgusting smell https://physicsworld.com/a/irradiating-eggs/
I'm feeling very erased here.
Yes, but the egg will then have a disgusting smell
How do eggs normally smell?

Rising to the top of my reasons to piss on Biden.

You need of the order of 10 kGy to properly sterilise an egg. If your home smoke detector is delivering enough radiation to provide an absorbed dose in the kilogray range over a half-hour period, you are already dead. You may still be moving around, but you are dead. You will stop moving around by the end of the day. Also, it is possible that you have been mis-sold your smoke detector, and what you actually have is not a smoke detector at all, but a small white round plastic box containing a neutron star. Please pack it up in its original packaging and post it to the International Astronomical Union, Geneva, Switzerland, who will wish to name it officially.
76: it's not sterile, but I think 90 min at 135 Fahrenheit would reduce the risk of some pathogens and not ruin the taste or smell of the egg.
Or just buy safe eggs in the first place and then eat them raw.
I guess this explains all the violent shitting.
67: Okay, I'm gonna change your life. "The Chinese New Year in 1978... began on February 7, 1978 and ended on January 27, 1979." So which is it?
75: I instantly knew what that link would be.
80 the raw eggs or the lethal radiation dose?
67, 81: Here's another good way to tell. Are you "marked by wisdom, passion, and a unique blend of creativity and determination," or by "stability, reliability and practicality"?
What about a unique blend of creativity and procrastination?
84: If, alternatively, you are marked with a stamp of a red lion passant, you are safe to eat. If you are also an egg.

what Chinese animal they are
Are animals ethnic now?
81/83: I guess I'm lumped in with the Snakes of 1977 then. But I promise to forget this by next year.
