The endgame of soup commercials
Soup commercials.
Annoying.
It’s been the same tinned recipe for ever.
Someone presents soup for consumption, passed off as home made, done from scratch.
Oh, this soup is so good. Where did you get the recipe? What? No! This can’t possibly be from a tin!
Rinse. Repeat.
I will now outline the bait and switch concept of a soup commercial taken to its most extreme.
A contestant on Masterchef is preparing a minestrone. He looks at his competitor’s dish and grimaces in panic but then has a sly, cunning look come over his face.
From his secret bag, he pulls out a bag of Brand X minestrone and secretly “plates up” (for crap, what happened to “dishing up”?).
The judges try the soup.
Matt Preston is impressed.
