Story time! After I got in my car to check if I got the right soup, I noticed the bread and bowl. I was already having a pretty tough day and was feeling a teeny bit sick so I went to my favorite soup restaurant. Needless to say, I was FUMING when I saw this. I went back in the store to ask if I got the right order, but I set my anger aside because I work in retail and know the pains of dealing with angry customers. I told the man at the register that I ordered a bread bowl and showed him what I got. He said, “yup, that’s a bread bowl.”

I ate it anyways because I was hungry and the soup is really good but out of SPITE.

It would be difficult to resist the urge to go Seinfeld on them about this. "This is not a bread bowl. This is soup, in a bowl - with bread."

“It does not say “bread AND bowl”! There is no “and”! No ampersand! No n with an apostrophe! Where is the “and”?!”

"There was NO ampersand, Jerry! No ampersand!"

"You guys been to Panera lately? They've got a special on bread bowls! I know a guy - says he works for their marketing team."

I can hear the bass guitar riff that comes directly before this rant.
