MAKE YOUR CHOICE

WHO IS YOUR CHOICE IN THIS CAMPAIGN?
I, like most of you, am tired of listening to and seeing advertisements of who is best for you and your needs. Each one promises that your life will be better if you follow them. You will be treated to a land of milk and honey. Each claims there is nothing artificial about their promises..
And each has employed their own public relations firm to enhance their appearances. People are hired to promote each one in the best light. Hired actors are shown not wanting to abandon their favored one’s site.
There are testimonials about who is real and who is not. There are floods of TV ads about how each will not let you down or let you go hungry.
This all seems to have been going on for more than a year.
As I hinted earlier in this blog, I am getting full of this. Enough is enough and hopefully it will come to an end soon.
By now you are saying, “Yes, Larry, I, too, will be glad when this political season comes to an end.” (Has it been a season or has it been a storm?)
However, I am not speaking of political events, campaigns or advertisements.
Rather I am speaking of the battle for you to choose between either Campbell’s Select Soup or Progresso Soup.
Each claims their soup is made with wholesome food products, like chicken breasts, and farm raised vegetables. While each claims the other’s soup is filled with monosodium glutamate, preservatives and whatevers.
To be truthful with you, canned soup tastes like canned soup; I cannot tell the difference.
I will even tell you that I cannot tell the difference between Campbell’s or Progresso’s soups from the private label brand. But I have never been a big fan of soup, so my opinion may be biased.
Maybe there really is a person out there who can say the carrots were raised on the sunny, south side hill of the Peterson-Jacobs Farm. If so, I envy her palate.
This Tuesday, the political arena will come to an end. Though I am willing to bet we will continue to suffer through the soup war.
Have a nice week. Don’t forget to vote. . . .Campbell’s or Progresso, the choice is yours.
