Mysterious soup

[OhGiveUp]

This morning I decided to clean out the kitchen cupboards.
In one of the corner base units, I tend to keep a small store of tinned and jar foodstuff.
So, after pulling everything out, including god knows how many random Tupperware lids which have clearly mated and multiplied at the back, I came across a tin of marks and Spencer chicken soup.
Now this has confused me because I never go to M&S and I hate chicken soup.
So, how the heck did it manage to sneak in and hide amongst tins of corned beef and jars of sauce?
There's only me and the dog here!
Now unless the dog has managed to leap over a six foot fence, sneak into my neighbours cupboard and emerge victorious with the tin between his teeth, to leap back over the fence and stash it in my cupboard, then it's a complete mystery!
Help.

Just give it to the dog

Good idea as it seems more than likely that the dog was the one who brought it home and put it in the cupboard.

Clearly, he stole it from a neighbour, but when he got it home he realised that as he has no thumbs he was screwed.

He popped it in the cupboard to hide his crime and has been waiting ever since for you to find it and open it for him.

Obviously really.

*Obvious, not obviously.

Maybe you have been sleepwalking? It's the only option.

Maybe someone in front of you in the shop left it behind by accident & you put it in your bag without realising.

@ItsOvetFlo He's been buying it duty free to scoff in the garage while I'm not at home?
That's grounds for divorce that is!! 😱

@PigsDofly Nothing would surprise me. He probably dons a pinny and whips up a banquet when I'm asleep in bed
< Eyes the dog suspiciously >

I just typed out a message to @ChardonnaysPetDragon and it's disappeared!! Probably hiding with the bloody soup.

Anyway @Chardonna

Oh FFS!!!!
Start again.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon If it was Tesco chicken soup then I could understand the sleepwalking theory, as no one would bat an eyelid at anyone wandering round Tesco in their nightwear.

You sure your dog hasn't got a hot date that secretly brings him chicken soup when you're in bed asleep?

@Bearlyactive You could be onto something there. He does seem to spend a lot of time trying to kiss the girl dog next door through the fence.

Did you ever do Slimming World? I went once and everyone had to put something into a basket for the person who'd lost the most. I won and had a load of tins of absolute crap - they were obviously just being passed around each week

At least it was not Two Soups!

I must say OP, your posts to me somewhat confirm the sleepwalking theory.

Can you try to pinch yourself once to twice?

@HollowTalk No, I've never done slimming world or any other weight loss groups.
That said, if I had to exclusively eat chicken soup, I'd be like a stick insect within a week and in hospital with malnourishment, where they would probably try to cure me with.....chicken soup!

@ChardonnaysPetDragon I'm beginning to wonder myself now 😂

I more fascinated at how your entire extended family apparently detest chicken soup and even chicken.

@Honeybuns007 in fairness, it was only my grandmother who hated chicken, or any other poultry for that matter.
We also hate oxtail and minestrone 🤢

I have twice had friends plant things in my house; one added to an ornament collection on a regular basis, the other planted T bags in my cupboard. It was a brand that she knew I didn't like. I presume it was a joke, but these Stasi tactics really mess with your mind.

This is the Kim Jong Un switch. You leave a photo of Kim Jong Un in a friend's house so they can post on MN about it try to work out how it got there.

Did you buy a M&S box of basics as lockdown began?

@Anonanon1234

I was hoping this was a follow up to Peter Andre's 'mysterious girl'..but the opening lyrics are disappointing, to say the least

That’s exactly what I have going round in my head too

@AlfonsoTheMango

Perhaps it's a sign from a recently deceased loved one, telling you that all is well.

Yep. That's it! 😀

The tin of soup has been displaced from an Academic Institution in the Southern Hemisphere. You are likely to find that you also have a number of strange teaspoons lurking in your cutlery drawer

(I don't think Australia actually has M&S. No doubt a visiting UK academic imported his own supply and kept it in his place of work for his lunches)
