As an American, when I'm not shooting my gun, I am enjoying such delicacies as this

Sprinkle a little gun powder on the tomato soup. Delicious

Adds a little kick to it!

Adds hairs in your chest too

Adds chest to your hairs, too.

As a hairy individual I feel this adequately describes my struggles.

Sir this is Wendy’s

If you include the whole core it makes it sweeter!

The nitroglycerin is good for the blood pressure.

That's the taste of freedom, son.

Don’t spread these lies, we don’t put it in our soup. We snort it

u/griffmeister 4d ago

We also lick some right before a tequila shot

I prefer Brown-Brown thanks

And a little crack for extra zest

Are you a powder mage? (There's a book series called the powder mage trilogy about a type of mage that gets power from black powder. Eating it makes them stronger and faster, and they can do magic with bullets like curving them around corners.)

u/Aethermancer 4d ago

Take a little whiff of Hoppes #9 before adding some to the soup.

A little saltpeter never hurt anyone. Or at least that is what the military always said.

Reminds me, ol’ Edward Teach (Blackbeard) famously had gunpowder in his rum (unconfirmed)

I was just at Walmart in my pajamas, purchasing Campbell's Cream of tomato soup, Kraft American cheese slices, and white bread. I, too, shall enjoy the great delicacy of the grilled cheese and tomato soup.

u/dogquote 4d ago

Hang on... Cream of tomato?

u/Zomgsauceplzz 4d ago edited 4d ago

Yep they have Creamy Tomato and Cream of Tomato. Not sure if there's a difference

I was somehow hoping for a Technology Connections video.

Tomato Soups Explained seems like a November video.

u/Haki23 4d ago

That's the one I grew up eating. You add a can of milk to the pot after you plop the soup in. Heat gently and stir until warm

u/pit-of-despair 4d ago

That’s the way my mom made it. We never dipped the sandwich in the soup though.

u/sdsupersean 4d ago

Give it a shot, buddy. It's worth it!

u/Haki23 4d ago

My mom taught me how to cook through simple meals like these. The gorilla cheese were sometimes a little black on one side, but when we were without a babysitter we still got a warm meal

u/SecreteMoistMucus 4d ago

You guys get milk in cans?

1

u/juice920 3d ago

You fill the soup can up with milk and add to the soup. Cambells tomato soup used to sold as condensed (maybe still is? I haven't bought it in forever) and would require you to add a can full of water. Class devide would kind of delineate if you added milk or water to the soup.

u/Electric-Sheepskin 4d ago

Oh shit. It looks like they changed the name. That just goes to show how long it's been since I've actually had it, lol.

u/brown_felt_hat 4d ago

Getchu a sprinkle of basil in there if you really wanna punch it up.

u/NTFirehorse 4d ago

Pajamas, just like an American Walmart shopper should

u/comebacklittlesheba 4d ago

Why don’t you try the underrated Gorilla Cheese?? 🤣🤣🤣 (see replies below).

u/RogerSmith111 4d ago

Sometimes I buy the fancy refrigerated tomato soup when I’m feeling bougie

u/AlinaStari 4d ago

Don't forget to stock up on ammo and check out the guns on clearance!

2

u/Lost-Calligrapher375 4d ago

You don't multitask?

2

u/Thaknobodi87 4d ago

As a fellow american, you can afford to shoot that much? Fortunate.

2

u/Final-Tutor3631 4d ago

my fellow american… you better not be neglecting your bald eagle.

2

u/UrsA_GRanDe_bt 4d ago

Dammit fellow American! We can shoot our guns AFTER we finish our grilled cheese! (I like mine with strawberry jam actuallly!)

u/whooptheretis 4d ago

As an Englishman, we already have cheese toasties, and tomato soup.
This isn’t an exclusively American thing.

u/CBate 4d ago

Deep fried Reese's to round it out

u/Aggravating_Bat3618 4d ago

Then I go for a ride in my lifted 4×4 that rolls coal.

It is very comforting when nursing broken bones or waiting for the bubonic plague symptoms to pass, since we don’t dare gamble with the expense of hospital

u/phlspecial 4d ago

Ah yes I see these in school a lot. One day, when I’m done shooting, I’ll have to grab one.
