“This sounds nasty as hell,” one person commented.
Through the end of January, the soup giant is selling chicken noodle-flavored hard candies — “soup you can suck on,” parent company General Mills announced in a news release Thursday.
“Enjoy the soup like never before,” the company boasted.
For $2.49 — the cost of a typical can of Progresso’s sick day comfort food — plus shipping, customers get 20 drops in a real tin, and it comes with a can of the real stuff, too.
Others were boiling hot.
Some consommé lovers are already preparing for the next drop.
The candies are packed with an alphabet soup of flavors including veggies, chicken, soft egg noodles and a hint of parsley.
“So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl?”
The drops sold out within an hour of the launch but will be restocked every Thursday at 9 a.m. through the end of January, while supplies last.
“Please make plenty so you don’t sell out!!!!!!!!!” one pleaded.
