Progresso is releasing ‘soup drops,’ soup hard candy.

First things first: What a tagline. Soup you can suck on.

Second things second:

I’m not saying the brains behind hard candy soup should be sent to jail for war crimes (I’m not NOT saying that, either), but at the very least they need to be put on some kind of watch list as a potential terror threat.

I can’t imagine why someone would want to suck on a piece of hard candy that tastes like chicken, vegetables and noodles. And they even kind of look like they’re a butterscotch hard candy! Imagine someone giving you what you think is a delightful Werther’s Original, and 10 seconds into sucking on it (……….) you start to taste parsley and broth? Actually you know what?

PS: If you or your family has a white elephant holiday gift exchange, this would be a killer addition.

Double PS: I wonder if soup candy fits in a Costanza wallet?
