Soup

But why, Phil? WHY??? If you get some soup in a cup and you drink it and it has no food chunks, why would you not call it a drink?

Quin: So... back to fruit juices... :D

Chris: Yeah, a lot of people actually said 'both' at work, too, but I find it much more fun to polarise things because of the debate it can bring about. I get strangely amused at how incredibly easy it is to argue that soup should be classed as a drink. The two people who sit opposite me get very wound up at me drinking soup with my lunch. :D

Also, to anyone who mentions 'liquid food' as proof that soup is not a drink...

I know, right?

It almost makes me feel sorry for him. But then I remember he considers soup a drink, and that all disappears.

Food. I have made enough soups to know.

EDIT: Tomato juice and tomato soup are two very different things.

The things you people argue about...

i believe that soup is a food because that's how i was raised

it's just my belief system i don't understand why we're having an argument over what people BELIEVE

and who is RIGHT and who is WRONG

BOB IS A RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALIST TRYING TO CONVINCE EVERYONE ELSE TO GO OVER TO HIS WAY OF THINKING

move this thread about religion to eyes on each other please

what the smurf towns

This thread is actually making me angry. Like, legit makes me want to punch BoB in the face.

BoB, are you responsible for this?

He must be. He must be.

BoB, go ahead and try to survive off of fruit juice drinks. When you die of malnourishment, this problem will have been definitively solved.

Flavoured drinks, regardless of how deliciously chunky they may be, only hydrate us, they do not sustain the human body's other functions. I have no doubt that one - in particular, you - could make a soup in such a way that it could be considered a drink, but at that point it would cease being soup, so... ;)

I think this thread warrants a 1 week ban for Loony BoB. :colbert:

All in favor?

Aye.

Dead Kennedys made a song called "Soup Is Good Food". Notice: Not "Soup Is a Good Drink". "Soup Is Good Food". I think that settles it. :monster:



Lonny BoB has been wrong about a lot of things before, but he has never been more wrong than he is in this thread.
