80 Calories Satisfies NO ONE
I had the exact same reaction when I saw this commercial. 80 calories is NOT an acceptable calorie count for a meal.

I totally missed the 80 cal part of the commercial. My reaction was “Soup is a side dish at Olive Garden.” :P

I imagine it’s probably 80 calories a serving, with 2 servings per can. But even suggesting that 80 calories is a suitable meal is just fucked up.

I know they didn’t intend this, but what if you used it as a side dish, or as “part of a balanced (meal)”? As someone who is looking at low calorie meals in my future, I think i might want soup AND something in order to mentally fill me. Not that they had this in mind, though.

Yeah, I could see that. Although I bet it tastes like crap.

Crap is 120 cal per servings, 2 per can.
