Also, if it weren't for last week's apple juice debacle, I would have read the date on this article (1 April) and self-congratulated because I didn't fall for it. But it's not a joke. They're not kidding with this crap.
Of all the things I'd ever thought I'd see on the stranger, an article debating the greatness of the soup flavors found on the shelf of the grocery outlet is not among them.
hey, comment section scribblers -- would you prefer they lay off some staff? seriously? you'd put people out of work if only to spare yourselves exposure to advertising that circumvents your browser plugin. take a deep breath and focus your bottomless disappointment on something more worthy.
i like the treatment they give to these posts and i like to think they wouldn't do it if they didn't have to..
Thank you. I've watched so many of my favorite bits of print die over the years. You're finding a way of sticking around and doing what you can to make it palatable for us. I laughed my ass off.
Since Slog can't determine what clickbait is, I've decided to ask the question back to them, especially in responding to articles I feel fit the definition.
Islandjas @29 works for Campbell's or The Stranger or both. It's getting too sad to stick around here. I think this might be a good time to remove the Slog icon from my bookmarks toolbar...
I wonder if any of the recent departures were encouraged by disagreement over the new direction of advertising, or if this is a desperate measure to close the gap after those departures. Either way I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in those editorial meetings. As a long time reader, I hope they recruit great new talent and put it back together.
Please note the date, one week before April 1st. Please note the "New Column" designation, the same "SPONSORED CONTENT" tag, and the same caustic writing style.
Since you need the blindingly obvious pointed out to you.
I call on Council member Kshama Sawant to OUTLAW this type of BULLSHIT advertising tricks by STRANGER CORPORATE HACKS. All we need is one good socialist revolution in this country to turn this all around and put power in the hands of those who create wealth—working class folk like YOU not Blood Sucking Chunky Soup Thieves.
I'm politically active and a huge soup person! Chunky soup is perfect for those days where you don't feel like running out to the store. So simple to make and so few ingredients!
and whatever happened to cream of asparagus? I would say that it is a seasonal thing, but once it's in the can it can last for decades. And besides, asparagus makes your pee smell good
BTW, the Chipotle Chicken CC is bad ass over rice.
Make it stop!

Morning news? I can only assume you mean Monday.
go over to buzzfeed and huffpo and tilt your discontent at their windmills.
THIS NEW COLUMN NEEDS TO MEET AN UNTIMELY DEATH.
THAT TIME IS NOW.
Campbell's wouldn't allow for the language if they were going after an ad and be associated with it.
