The things that divide us.

I regularly buy soup from the deli of a large well known supermarket chain, choosing between Clam Chowder, Chili, or Italian Wedding Soup depending on the basic factor of what I feel like at that time, and how well the thing looks to have held up.

One day I was looking over the choices, and someone came behind me and said, “You try the Tomato Soup?”  My answer, “No.”  He then shook his head, and said “Good.  Because, my lord, that is terrible.”

Skip forward a week or two.  I am again looking over my choices.  An elderly lady stands next to me.  Asks “You try the Tomato Soup?”  My answer, “No.”  She then says, “Oh, you should.  It’s wonderful!”

I note that other than these two occurences, nobody has tapped me about any of the choices.  That’s some divisive soup!
