EMERGENCY FOOD IS DUMB UPDATE!!!

Apparently a conflagration of ketchup and fruit isn't enough for some folks. It seems, in fact, that some people just wanna watch the world burn, or possibly just feed us.

A good number of those kind of people work for Pabst and Campbell's, who just issued a joint press release entitled "Campbell's® Chunky® and Pabst Blue Ribbon Invite Fans to "Crack Open a Warm One" with New Collaboration"

As always, we cut and paste so you don't have to. Here's what they're on about:
Just in time for soup season, the two new varieties will be available exclusively at Walmart starting this month:

Campbell's Chunky x Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Cheese with Potatoes & Chorizo Soup is packed with savory chorizo sausage and hearty potatoes simmered in creamy cheese infused with Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer flavor. Pair it with a soft pretzel, serve it in a bread bowl, or top it with extra shredded cheese.

Campbell's Chunky x Pabst Blue Ribbon Beef, Bacon & Beer Chili with Beans is the perfect addition to brisk fall days and features seasoned beef, hearty beans and smoky bacon, all infused with Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer flavor. Enjoy it straight from the can, load up a hot dog or drizzle it on top of nachos.
That's...that's so crazy that it just might work. As Ryan Pawling, Senior Brand Manager, Campbell's Chunky, says, "Our fans love bold, unexpected taste experiences, and pairing Chunky's hearty recipes with the iconic, malty flavor of PBR brings something totally unique to the soup aisle."

If you're in Manhattan on Thursday, stop by Ray's Bar for a dive bar takeover, complete with free PBR to pair with the soup, and exclusive merch. And report back on how the soups taste, obvs.

  3. i'd try this. prior to consuming the heinz smoothie, i'd think this less gag-worthy. i'll be on the lookout for the chunky offering in a publix near me

  4. Most of you know that we have two dogs, Reggie and Steve. Reggie is the oldest, a 7 year old English Bulldog. A few weeks back we noticed a sore on Reggie’s rear right paw pad. We thought it was a result of going on a walk on the hot pavement a few days earlier. As a little time passed it wasn’t getting better. Worse actually. She would lick it, as would Steve and that would cause it to bleed. So we took her to the vet to get it patched up, some meds, etc.

    To our surprise the vet immediately looked at us and said he thought it was a cancerous mass. After two biopsies our fears were confirmed. Over the past two weeks we’ve been to an animal cancer care clinic and also met with a surgeon.

    Reggie has melanoma on the entirety of her paw pad. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. They will remove the paw pad as well as the two outer digits and paw pads on the same foot and use those to reconstruct her main paw pad. It sounds gnarly (probably is) but we initially thought we were going to have to amputate her leg.

    Anyway, prayers for our pup.

  5. Thanks. Has not been a fun few weeks but we’re grateful we can save her leg and she can continue to snore in our bed at night.
