Don’t know if the term is correct. I know it is not a good idea.

As a devoted fan of Campbell’s soups, I’ve always had a soft spot for their cream of potato variety. On this particular occasion, my hunger led me to prepare the soup with my signature touch: crumbling crisp saltine crackers into the steaming bowl and accompanying the meal with a refreshing Diet Pepsi, which I started to poured directly into the creamy mixture.

Now, you might ask why I did that. Well, I’ll tell you, I have not the foggiest idea. I had poured an ounce or two before I realized my blunder.

For those wondering if it improved the taste, let me say this: I would not recommend it. However, it was tolerable. Moreover, I will go well out of my way to make sure I do not repeat it. Not only did it ruin the soup, but I also lost part of my soda.

Oh well. As they say, it all ends up in the same place anyway.
