Good morning and welcome back to Wolmania. We have a strange collection of small trinkets today. Let's start with cold beef juice.
Item 1: a link
![A vintage Campbell's ad for Soup on the Rocks.](https://img.atlasobscura.com/UikXDUhj2NnxQxR-7XARTizmBRdpwc92smY6RWmDWQ4/rs:fill:12000:12000/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL2Fzc2V0/cy9iOWYxMDMwODA3/M2MwOWU2MDFfU291/cCBPbiBUaGUgUm9j/a3MuanBn.jpg)
Have I already linked to this? I feel like I may have. But if so, it was back in my Revue era, so I think it's okay to revisit the time when Campbell's Soup tried valiantly to get people to drink beef boullion over ice. I understand that some of us are trying to cut down on, or eliminate, alcohol consumption, and I wholeheartedly support that. Even so, I'm not tempted to try a Frisky Sour (two cans of beef broth, one can of water, and a half cup of lemon juice, shaken).
Let's check back on this in a few months. I'll be in the gastronomy lab, working on the perfect recipe for a Spaghetti-O's Fashioned.
Item 2: a list

Sorry about that knock knock joke. It was a bibelot my usual standard.
See you next week.
