But is it made with real poor people, or is it that 3d printed stuff?

It used to be, and that was its greatest strength. It was affordable by literally everyone. Condensed soup was game-changer in the early 20th century, particularly the depression. It was made in vast quantities, could be shipped for cheap (because it was condensed) and had basically an indefinite shelf life. It also had the benefit of being reliable. You could eat 100 cans worth and they'd all taste the same. You knew what to expect so much that they became an ingredient in mid century recipes.

Now? I'm seeing prices like this ($1.50 in Canada) and they changed the recipes for many of the soups to make them cheaper. The cream of tomato and cream of mushroom are nothing like what I used to eat even 10 years ago. It's now tasteless weird slop that I wouldn't even call food.

It's unfortunate the poor of today (i.e. us) get worse soup then the poor of a decade ago, at twice the price.
