| Storm in a soup bowl |

CAMPBELL’S soups are now to be called Erin soups. Can you believe that? Everything you ever thought you knew about soup has been exposed as a disgusting lie. With one swish of a high-rolling corporate whore’s pen, hundreds of years of soup history been reduced to detritus. We’ve become accustomed to the incestuous nature of big business with unlikely mergers and acquisitions and sworn enemies getting into bed with each other, but somehow we always expected the homespun, rustic world of soup production to remain above all that. How wrong we were. We can now add the name of Big Soup to the other nefarious conglomerates of Big Tobacco and Big Oil. To the untrained eye, this insidious Campbell’s/Erin affair could be simply another Jif/Cif, Snickers/Marathon, Opal Fruits/Starburst name-change switcharoo, the kind that is regularly foisted upon the unsuspecting hoi polloi who are once again forced to bend over and take this corporate rogering with a servile good grace.
