How much is too much? – Food version
Not sure if it is a good thing or not but I don’t have a Mafalda soup hate complex. Well, other than the fact that, depending on the soup, you could be hungry in a couple of hours… Yesterday, I went to Save-on-Foods to buy something to take to work for lunch, as I knew I will have some hectic noons in the next couple of days. To a certain extent, soup was not such a bad idea. Something that could be prepared quickly (throw it to the microwave, wait for a couple of minutes and enjoy) and could be eaten at my desk without too much hassle. So, I purchased a couple of these:
They were 2 for $4 with Save-On card. Not necessarily bad but I don’t think is the best either… Anyway, when I looked at the nutritional info, I noticed something… Interesting. Can you spot it?
Yeah, I know it is loaded with sodium and I might have gotten a better deal if I had purchased some cans of Chunky Soup. But, that’s not it. Give up? The oddity after this image:
Actually, this picture has the same small “issue”. Still no idea? OK, check the amount (in mL in both cases) against the serving size… Why the hell the amount in the can is not an exact multiple of the serving size? I mean, am I going to have only 2/3 of the can? Should I only eat 2/3s of it and wait until I open another add it up to have 2 servings?! Sure, you have certain flexibility on how much is a serving size but this is ridiculous…
For some reason these microwave Campbell’s soups make both my father and me throw up instantly. My dad says it’s a preservative in them. For some reason the canned/heat up on the stove ones are fine. Weird huh?
