So I'm checking out the soup aisle for some casserole ingredients. Lo and behold, a bevy of stock and broth options lay before me. I pick one up. Swanson. No MSG, check. 99% fat free, check. Then I read this:
"Use in your favorite recipes or serve as a piping hot beverage." (italics mine)
People drink this stuff straight? On a cold wintry night, people actually shove aside the Nestle's or the Swiss Miss and grab that carton of Swanson's Chicken Broth to quench their chilled thirst? And enough of them do so to necessitate printing the idea on its very package?
I can't believe this is true. But, let's face it, perhaps nobody else out there cares too much about this strange, atypical recipe. So. Here's the deal. If I get over ten comments to this post, I will call Swanson's Question/Comment Line (1-800-44-BROTH) and ask them about this very issue. Together, we can stop the proliferation of disgusting drink ideas everywhere.

I imagine only the elderly or those who have the stomach flu actually drink it. Even so, I think they should eat it out of a bowl with a spoon like a normal person just for the rest of our peace of mind.
I don't see what's so bad about it. Broth tastes good.
And to Lauren, on her piece about the food system: it's good to see that you have a problem when we kill more animals then necessary and inflict more pain than is necessary, although puzzling, because the necessary amount of death and pain is zero.
I'll have to try putting it on some cookies....maybe with some sprinkles on top. Guess who Irves?
Hoping for that Swansons call.
I agree with Lauren. Sounds like a flu thing.
do some research, dude: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril .
A thermos of beef tea was the favoured way to fend off the chill of winter matches for generations of Scottish and English football enthusiasts; to this day Bovril dissolved in hot water is sold in stadiums all over the United Kingdom. Bovril beef tea was the main warm drink that Ernest Shackleton's team had to drink when they were marooned on Elephant Island during the Endurance Expedition.
ok so maybe we have better shit to eat/drink now, but that doesn't mean no drinks broth anymore.
