Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth?

I wonder how creamy it really was? If i found a rubber in a can of soup i would want more than a "cupon" Perhaps they should have read the label. Creamy or Chunky anyone? Trojan or Durex?

Soupcon of rubber leads to food suit
By Felisa Cardona Denver Post Staff Writer

A Fort Collins family says in a federal lawsuit that they found a condom at the bottom of a Campbell's Soup can after the cream of mushroom dinner they had started eating tasted bad.
"We think it's highly unlikely that this occurred and we take all claims of product contamination very seriously," said Campbell Soup Co. spokesman Anthony Sanzio.

Audrey Smith, 63, heated the soup on Nov. 20, 2006, and she and Doyle Smith, 64, and Shane Smith, 42, noticed an unusual taste and looked inside the can, according to a lawsuit filed by the family in U.S. District Court.

"The foul taste was apparently caused by the presence of a large piece of rubber lodged at the bottom of the can," the suit says. "Upon further examination, it appeared to the Smiths that the rubber was, in fact, a condom."

After the Smiths noticed the latex, they immediately became nauseous and overcome with fear that they had been exposed to disease.

The family went to the emergency room and had blood drawn and tests performed.
Doyle Smith contacted Campbell Soup to complain and the lawsuit says the company refused to pay the family's medical expenses and offered the Smiths a coupon for a discount on their next purchase of soup.

The Smiths gave Campbell Soup a portion of the rubber for testing.
On March 19, Campbell Soup officials told the Smith family that laboratory analysis determined the rubber was latex but could not be positively identified, according to the suit.
