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.

I already suck on my soup.

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

So, sugar with salt and MSG? Great!

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.

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!

I pray for your inbox.

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

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

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 0 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

K, I think I did it.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 0 points 7 hours ago

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

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.

[–] edg@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago

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

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