Unfortunately My Commission is Nothing

Today while I was in Costco {and it shocks me how many sentences I start just like that} I found myself selling yet another pack of French Onion Soup to a perfect stranger.

So I thought y'all should know about it, too.

Everytime I find myself in the freezer aisle, someone is reaching in, checking out the packaging, flipping it over...hoping for some kind of taste sensation to seep through the cardboard box.

Clearly, they're deciding whether or not to purchase this goodness.

So I, faithful Costco shopper, and consumer of obscene amounts of french onion soup, always jump in and say, "It's delicious, amazing, I eat it all the time. Just try it, you will thank me."

Then I turn around and revisit all of my favorite samples on the way to check out.

I had another bowl of it for lunch today (because that is just what I do) and it never fails me.

Never.

If you do not like cheese, onions, or croutons, then NO, you are not going to like this soup.

But if, like me, you grilled onions several times a week just to eat because they are in fact, that good, you will love it.

If my math is correct (which it probably isn't), I've earned Costco at least $100 because of my well-honed soup-selling skills.

That number is pretty impressive, huh?

I do the same thing. Thanks for your review. I've always wondering about the french onion soup and now I know ; )

I had some today for lunch. YUM! I think my stomach will hate me later though for all the onion...either that or my family will ;-)
