Chock full of amino acids as well as their building blocks, Campbell's Primordial Soup Kit contains everything your young scientist needs to grow, or if they choose, to play with their food and try to create life per Dr. Miller's 1953 experiment.

Serving instructions: pour in 1/2 cup of water. Microwave with included tinfoil wrapper to induce electric current. Stir, and serve. Best at 40 degrees C.

It's what's for lunch ... http://www.geocitie...frank/Musings37.htm
... in the 4.5 meals a day plan, too. Yum. Extra-chunky. [jutta, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]

Ouch, I burned my tongue.

As long as the end result of the evolution of that soup is a sexy female anthropoid mammal, all is well. How long do you stir it to get there?

Small nit: Wouldn't Campbell just call it "Campbell's Primordial Soup", in spite of it being condensed? To me, a "mix" is powder.

Yeah, it was in transition while writing, which I'll change once I pick up the pieces. The condensed soup slant was appealing, but I wanted to leave room for other possibly necessary tidbits, like a methane tank or electric pack of some kind when I did the title. Adding the microwave to achieve it was a last-minute brain-zap.

Cool, I don't mind sharing puns with the mit crew.
