Cream of Mushroom Soup comes with condom.

[ohiosmith]

A Fort Collins family says in a federal lawsuit that they found a condom at the bottom of a Campbell's Soup can after the cream of mushroom dinner they had started eating tasted bad.

"We think it's highly unlikely that this occurred and we take all claims of product contamination very seriously," said Campbell Soup Co. spokesman Anthony Sanzio.

Audrey Smith, 63, heated the soup on Nov. 20, 2006, and she and Doyle Smith, 64, and Shane Smith, 42, noticed an unusual taste and looked inside the can, according to a lawsuit filed by the family in U.S. District Court.

"The foul taste was apparently caused by the presence of a large piece of rubber lodged at the bottom of the can," the suit says. "Upon further examination, it appeared to the Smiths that the rubber was, in fact, a condom."

After the Smiths noticed the latex, they immediately became nauseous and overcome with fear that they had been exposed to disease.

The family went to the emergency room and had blood drawn and tests performed.

Doyle Smith contacted Campbell Soup to complain and the lawsuit says the company refused to pay the family's medical expenses and offered the Smiths a coupon for a discount on their next purchase of soup.

The Smiths gave Campbell Soup a portion of the rubber for testing.

On March 19, Campbell Soup officials told the Smith family that laboratory analysis determined the rubber was latex but could not be positively identified, according to the suit.

I've been waiting for that feature for decades.


More than likely it was a part of a worker's rubber glove or hat.

'Come of Mushroom Soup'?

8. What were the test results? Was the condom pregnant? Or was it carrying a disease?

:hide:


Oh, I wonder why Campbells refused to pay... of course, did the Smiths have proper proof somebody put their wankballoon in the soup?

[edbermac]

9. Was it a flavored condom?

:rofl:

10. I doubt it.

Yes, maybe they found a piece of latex, but I doubt it came from a condom.

I'd believe one of these, but a condom? Nuh-uh:

11. I guess their "mail in 6 soup labels for a free diaphragm" campaign flopped?

plus shipping and handling)

You know, I'm going to have to scrutinize those "10 minute meal" recipes on their soup labels.

*1/2 lbs skinless chicken
*1/2 cup broccoli floweretts
* 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup
* 1 condom
* 1 bag creamettes extra wide egg noodles
* 1/2 cup milk

Sneaky buggers, they are.
:rofl:

[marzipanni]

13. Well, duh! If it was on the outside you couldn't read the label.

[Orsino]

14. These days, it's the safest way to come. n/t

[Fenris]

15. That is unlikely.

A condom would not survive the retort process. Sterilization heats the cans to an insane degree.

[Auggie]

21. That's right! Is someone dumb enough to try another scam like the finger-in-the chili?

16. Are they certain it wasn't cream of asparagus?

[Auggie]

18. ROFL -- where did you find that?

[Xipe Totec]

19. It's been in my stash of internet humor for 10+ years

just waiting for the right moment :evilgrin:

[BreweryYardRat]

17. Reminds me of a very short story I saw once.

A prank war that ends with a used condom in one guy's clam chowder.

I'm gonna call bullshit -- I'd bet this is a scam.

[Sabriel]

20. That's pretty serious

Somewhere, a mushroom is having unprotected sex.

[LostinVA]

22. That wasn't cream
