This post might sound a little weird, but i am really wondering right now...

this is what happened, about two weeks ago i went to the grocery store and i bought some soup that i have never had before (Camphells Healthy Request Mexican Style Chicken tortilla soup),

well i bought it and made it the same evening, and i loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!!!! I thought it had a great flavor, i was just happy i had bought it.

Well yesterday i went out to get some milk at the grocery store and i bought another can of this soup, (same soup, same flavor), i made this one for dinner last night, here comes the weird thing, i could not eat it, it tasted so awful i thought, i was so confused since i loved the first can i bought, and i can not figure out why i did not like it, since it was the same soup!!!

i checked the date on the can to make sure it was still good and it was!!! So whats going on here?

Has this happened to any of you before????? 

this is really getting to me, how can i like something so much and then 2 weeks later i hate the taste of it???????

wow! that is weird. maybe you happened to buy a batch that was a little different or they changed the recipe without saying.
DiAnA D. Jan 13, 2009, 11:03am UTC
that does sound weird!!

This has happened to me, but only in regard to foods I loved as a kid that no longer taste as good as they once did. For example: Lucky Charms cereal.
mary bryant Jan 13, 2009, 11:04am UTC
wowwwwwww
gr8 nana Jan 13, 2009, 11:05am UTC
That's weird, lol.
Alta B. Jan 13, 2009, 11:07am UTC
I've had that happen to me before. I can't remember what it was though. Weird huh?!
Kelly M. Jan 13, 2009, 11:08am UTC
That is odd!
Netty B. Jan 13, 2009, 11:09am UTC
I have never had this happen before, bummer.
Rae M. Jan 13, 2009, 11:09am UTC
That is weird. The only explanation I can offer is possibly the second store did not store the soup properly, and it got a bit spoiled.
Teresa A. Jan 13, 2009, 11:09am UTC
Very strange
ChrisJerri S. Jan 13, 2009, 11:12am UTC
They say people's tastes change...this one happened rather quickly I must say.

It could just be that that batch got made a little differently. You better get one more can and taste that one to see if you like it, but make sure you get it from somewhere else or wait a while again so you can get a different batch again.
. .. Jan 13, 2009, 11:26am UTC
was it something you ate with the soup or just before it that could have changed the flavor either time??
Abby N. Jan 13, 2009, 11:40am UTC
I've had that with various foods but I thought it was my taste buds. Maybe someone goofed up the recipe?
Lisa C. Jan 13, 2009, 11:40am UTC
That's strange!
Leah Christensen Jan 13, 2009, 11:52am UTC
It might have been a slightly different batch. I agree with Shannon about things that don't taste as good to adults as they do to kids.
Melanie S. Jan 13, 2009, 12:15pm UTC
I've had that happen... two different situations. One, if I tried something in the middle of my "cycle" and it tasted great, then when I'm PMSing the taste can chance and I hate something.

Also when I became pregnant... a simple week to two weeks after becoming pregnant I've had HUGE changes in my tastes... not suggesting your pregnant LOL, just what I've experienced.

I really wish Gather would give us a simple edit button.

I meant "the taste can CHANGE"
tammie p. Jan 13, 2009, 12:46pm UTC
i would call the 800 number. they should be made aware of this
Ruth Luce Jan 13, 2009, 12:48pm UTC
Sometimes with allergies, coming down with a cold, a cavity in a tooth or even something else you may have eaten or drank that day, mouthwash or toothpaste - they'll all change the way a food tastes to us, tis a possibility or also could be just one of those things that make you go, huh?!!
Michelle W. Jan 13, 2009, 12:49pm UTC
It does happen. I would let Campbell's know how different and awful the second can tasted. They may send you coupons or something.

Could you be pregnant?

Last night I made a Weight Watchers lasagne for dinner, and I was so looking forward to it, as I usually love it. Once I put it in front of me, I just could not eat it.
Maybe it had botulism?
KIdding I don't know but yeah it happens to me at times.
I hate that.
you can call them and complain. they will send you some freeebies

The disappointment of high expectations? Like going back to a great restaurant and finding it lets you down compared to the memory!
B.B. B. Jan 13, 2009, 5:44pm UTC
i am not sure what happened with that soup, after reading all your comments, i did remember that the first one i had bought at Walmart and the one yesterday i bought at Albertsons.... so maybe they have stored them wrong. i will call Camphells 2morrow and see what they say. its really weird and something like this has never happened to me before..
Carla B. Jan 13, 2009, 5:46pm UTC
That has happened to me a few times before, too. Usually it's due to an iron taste in my mouth from my thalassemia, though.

that is wierd
Donna S. Jan 13, 2009, 6:17pm UTC
odd
Nellie (RIP: Give to Life) Jan 13, 2009, 6:19pm UTC
happens all the time, you think you want it, you take a bite and it is like ish...just your body or tastebuds refusing what you want...lol..
R B Jan 13, 2009, 6:19pm UTC
Not as many Margaritas?
Bob B. Jan 13, 2009, 7:13pm UTC
That's so strange.
Jennifer Neff Jan 13, 2009, 7:29pm UTC
Never happened to me.
Debby O. Jan 13, 2009, 7:48pm UTC
They make huge amounts of it and each batch may be a little different
Sandra L. Jan 13, 2009, 9:41pm UTC
Very interesting. I am wondering what the company will say when you call.
Marilyn M. Jan 14, 2009, 12:44am UTC
Could be the fault of the soup. Could be that sometimes our bodies crave things or even taste things differently than others. My sense of taste is very sensitive. All of my senses, actually - probably because of my fibromyalgia. So if something isn't right otherwise with me - like a cold - then my taste buds are totally different. Something I normally like will taste lousy.

that is strange
