Bring Back Campbell Chili Beef Soup

I received an electronic mail from Campbell'south in response to my inquiry on what had happened to the Fiesta Chili Beef.

"Enough! We get it! We made a fault, OK? Sometimes we just take this inexplicable need to mess with our product line up. Nosotros need to be busy so we won't lose our jobs and sometimes that means we have to notice things to practice. As you can imagine we tin only come upward with then many combinations of Chicken and Noodle soup and nosotros've exhausted everything with that d@m! soup. We clearly can't redesign our packaging and then that'due south out. A couple of months ago our bosses had a meeting pointing out that we weren't "doing" anything and we had to justify our employment hither. We immediately began research studies on the most innocuous matter we could come upward with, Fiesta Chili Beef. We spent months doing "research" and then a few more months preparing an elaborate report on why Fiesta Chili Beef was actually costing our company too much to brand and how we could save millions of dollars by discontinuing this production from our line. We all got bonuses and went out for beers and high fives over our vivid strategy to not only stay employed but also receive accolades and bonuses.

Imagine our surprise when nosotros began to be inundated with e-mails from people like you wondering where their precious little Fiesta Chili Beef went. At first we idea we could hibernate it from our supervisors and no one would know. But the e-mails kept coming--more and more than. Server traffic was up and nosotros were finally institute out. The outcry from the public was too bang-up and we've had to confess our sick-fated scheme to our supervisors.

I've managed to relieve my chore by personally over seeing the re-introduction of the Fiesta Chili Beef dorsum into our product line and personally apologizing to each and every e-mail that comes in. Bob wasn't and so lucky. Before long later the Fiesta Chili Beef scandal came to light he was over taken past a mob in the Campbell'south parking lot. Frank survived simply is still undergoing therapy and hopes to exist walking with crutches soon. Mark, Neil and Joe were all fired and I'k left to clean up this mess. I've had to take a cut in pay and my car's been repossessed. Christy kicked me out just Mom and Dad said I could stay in their basement until I'm back on my feet again. But just if I bring a case of Fiesta Chili Beef with me.

Happy?! You lot have your stinking soup back!!!!!!!!!!"

::sigh::

OK, that's not really the electronic mail I received but a girl can wish. I received the aforementioned tired eastward-mail that everyone else has received when they write to notice out what happened:

And so that'due south that. Funny, I don't recall my taste and preference changing. I did come across a recipe that someone claimed tasted just like the Fiesta Chili Beef so I'll requite it a try and written report back.
