Progresso launches Soup Drops, a hard candy that's 'soup you can suck on'

[Wicked Blue]

Progresso is celebrating National Soup Month by reimagining a classic comfort food — as a hard candy called Soup Drops.

The company this week launched its first-ever "soup you can suck on," a savory lozenge that captures the taste of Progresso Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup.

Designed as a portable alternative to the classic meal, the drops come packaged in a can modeled after Progresso’s soup cans and contain 20 individually wrapped candies. Each drop has flavors of broth, chicken, vegetables, soft egg noodles, and a hint of parsley.

“When you’re sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup," MC Comings, VP, Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills, explained in a press release on Thursday. "So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl? We took the beloved flavors of our Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup and packed them into a fun, savory candy Soup Drop for a totally new way to enjoy the taste you love whenever and wherever you want,” Comings added.

1. I'd Try Them

Without hesitation.
What's the worst that can happen.m? They don't taste good, I spit it out.

2. No thanks.

3. Yuck, that would basically be just room temperature soup,

and one of the main benefits of chicken or any other soup is that it's hot. Sucking on a solid chunk of lukewarm soup doesn't do it for me.

9. Sarcasm!!!!!!

You’re supposed to nuke them in the micro for a few minutes.and then pop them in your mouth.

4. I don't think I will try.

for Hershey’s Gumbo. With almonds, please!

7. A couple of bowls of Progresso soup is one of my go-to, work-at-the-office lunches.

I picked up three more cans yesterday at the Giant, 3 for $5. Soup drops? Ummmm, no.

8. Their soup already sucks. nt

10. If A Soup Drop Would Satisfy A Hunger Pang.....

It would be less calories than actually having a whole bowl of soup.

I wonder what other soup drop flavors they're going to introduce?

Maybe French Onion? Maybe tomato soup? Vegetable soup?

11. Wait, this isn't The Onion?

Gross

12. Seems like something Willy Wonka

would make.

13. Is this for real? Just suck on chicken bullion instead...
