Campbell's Scoth Broth is actually a product of Canada. For years it was a family staple. the last time I saw it on a shelf it was retailing for about 4X their chicken noodle/tomato soup and Campbell soup buyers don't pay those kind of prices.
They come in 48 pack boxes, ask your local market manager, no reason they can't order one in for you.

Facts or statistics?
Factor in the Dixiecrat nay votes and you might notice the Democratic Party was willing to commit the equivalent of political suicide to advance what they decided was a just agenda.

I was puzzled the first time I saw it.
I coach youth basketball at a local rec center and as I walked to the gym a man was lying face down on a walkway. I didn't notice that first time, but later did. Along with a few others they were actually on a prayer rug and following their religious ritual.
