Progresso’s new chicken noodle-flavored hard candies spark mixed reactions as they launch for National Soup Month
Minneapolis: Progresso is shaking things up with a wild new treat for National Soup Month. They just launched chicken noodle-flavored hard candies, which they call “Soup Drops.”
These candies are like cough drops but with a twist. They’re perfect for the cold and flu season, and you can grab them until the end of January. For just $2.49, you get 20 drops in a cute tin, plus a can of the real chicken noodle soup.
According to General Mills, the parent company, these drops are packed with flavors that mimic the classic soup. They’ve got broth, veggies, and even soft egg noodles. Sounds interesting, right?
But not everyone is on board. Some folks on social media are saying things like, “This sounds nasty as hell.” Others are just plain grossed out. The comments section is filled with reactions, including a lot of puke emojis.
Despite the mixed reviews, the Soup Drops sold out in just an hour after their launch. They’ll be restocked every Thursday at 9 a.m. until the end of January, so fans are already gearing up for the next batch.
Some soup lovers are really excited, with comments like, “Need this in my life!” It looks like Progresso has stirred up quite the conversation!
