Chunky Soup.... oh, Leah....


I'm sure you all caught Leah spooning Campbell's chunky soup, cold and straight out of the can into the poor kid's bowls. It looked like she was feeding them dog food.
Disgraceful.
I wonder if she gets paid for product placement. Cheetos, Doritos, Campbell's soup.

reply

Oh my goodness, at first I thought, "how did she heat the can?" Then I realized, she hadn't, so I had hoped the soup in their bowl was too hot, so she emptied room temp soup in the bowls to even it out. I realized that too was unlikely.

Leah is the hottest of hot messes.

reply

Does she not know any better? Or truly that lazy?

reply

A combination of both. Remember when she was feeding them hot dogs right out of the package?

reply

I really think it's true ignorance. She doesn't seem physically lazy, just painfully unaware. We can probably assume Mama Dawn fed her nothing but packaged junk food her whole life. During the infamous icing scene when Leah asked if letting her have a can of frosting was bad Dawn just said to make her sit at the table to eat it. All Leah knows is the world in Wv and in WV Campbell's Chubky soup is probably "high end" lol

I'm tempting the wrath of the whatever, from high atop the thing.

reply

I always preferred cold straight out the can. Even as a kid I told my mom don't cook it. My favorite food is spaghetti the next day after it's been in the fridge.

reply

Left over pizza cold out of the frindge is quite comforting to me.

reply

Leah feeds them raw hot dogs too.

My sister and I used to eat raw hot dogs which freaked my mom out everytime. Eventually my parents hid them. Anyway seeing a parent feed their children how Leah does is ridiculous.

reply

Hot dogs are fully cooked and are fine to eat out of the package.

reply

True, but who the heck would want to eat cold dogs?

BTW, anyone else got that dumb warning message again?

reply

True, but who the heck would want to eat cold dogs?

One twerpy 2-year-old I babysat for in the 70's. She'd scream if I tried to heat them up for her, so to shut her up I gave them to her straight out of the package. In hindsight I'm lucky she didn't choke on them, since she ate them like bananas and just bit off pieces, but I was a pretty dense babysitter.

And yup, I just got the "D'oh!" message twice.

reply

Which warning message? The one that "reminds" one of IMDb's terms and conditions?

reply

Yes, please ensure all your postings are in compliance, blah, blah, blah.

reply

I hate that. What could you have possibly said to warrant reporting? Is there a die-hard cold chunky soup fan out there? In which case, where's my warning, lol?

These boards are toast anyway, so they need to at least disable that nonsense now.

reply

Did she possibly pour the dog food -- oops, soup -- into their bowls & then microwave it? I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that her kids did not eat it cold.

reply

Cold or hot, my husband works at Campbell's soup, so she helped our household by buying it. All the soup is put into cans, sent through food grade x-rays and then cooked in the cans through a series of cooker machines. So if they did eat it cold, they would not get sick. My husband has to climb into those cookers to fix them when they break down. When the lines break down when they get caught up, he has to walk through stuff like chicken noodle and spagettio's.

reply

He should be on an episode of Dirty Jobs.

reply

Ya or atleast wear a go pro and upload to YouTube for us.

reply

My big problem with it cold is that sometimes chunks of congealed fat (gah!!) separate from the rest of the soup. When you heat it, it melts in and you don't have to worry about it... I'm sure it adds to the taste. But cold like that, like a soldier in World War One eating beans straight out of a can crouched in a foxhole... I can't help but think that's lazy parenting.

reply

Ew, another good point. That congealed fat adds to the gross factor of eating cold soup. It's one thing for a child to prefer something unusual like that, but I'd wager Leah's children merely don't complain, and that's because they don't know any differently.

This can't be ignorance on Leah's part. Soup like that is served warm. It's not that mind-boggling. I'm voting for "she's just lazy" too.

reply

I've eaten beans right outta the can. Mmmm. Delicious.
