I think this one all started out with someone who just wasn't paying attention and failed to realize when Halloween actually was.  "Hey, Margaret!  What's in the pantry???"

As an adult (sort of...), I actually like soup, but I can see where I'd be pretty pissed if I got a can of it trick-or-treating!  Besides, although our picture shows a quality brand, Campbell's®, who have been cranking out tasty lunches and dinners for years, but it's usually the generic crap that ends up going out for this holiday.

Bottom line: buy a calendar and be prepared next time!

Who gives out soup for Halloween?  These people obviously missed the boat (among other things).  Although soup can be yummy and delicious, espeically on a cold night, no one wants it for Halloween.  It is far too heavy to carry around all night and the small children, who undoubtedly have foolishly not brought along a can open, cannot sneak a quick bite before their parents notice. 

Don't give this out unless you want me to put firecrackers in your mailbox and spraypaint your cat green.
