Campbells has taken their awesome specialty soups and taken all the MSG out of them. It sucks without MSG. I now have to get the generic soup so I can get my MSG fix.
When I originally bought two cans of their Italian wedding, the first sucked so bad I thought they forgot to put the flavor in. It's like the flavor guy at the soup plant was off taking a dump on the cardboard box assembler's chest when my cans passed. I was ready to call Campbells and get them fired when I saw the emboldened letters "NO MSG!" on the front of the can. The letters were so big and powerful, like I should be excited that they took the only good thing about canned soup and threw it away.
Because I had two cans, I thought I had really wasted my money. Luckily I has some "Accent flavor enhancer," AKA MSG, and I poured that shit in like I was a socially inept 15 year old adding roofies to his hot-looking cousin's Fresca. It made it alot better.
Why can't they offer both? Why is MSG bad all of a sudden? Now Progresso is removing their MSG.
Nobody is fighting this because the idiots who think MSG is bad will have a collective hurrah! and cheer them on from their plastic covered couches, and the people who hate canned soups will shrug and go back to eating their homemade beef bullion out of their golden cups. The only people left are the fans of canned soup and MSG who are too busy trying to pay for their electricity to fight for flavor enhancers.
I am sad.

Crappy buffet restaurants load their food with MSG because it makes you feel full/bloated even when you aren't. It's the same reason you're hungry again an hour after you eat Chinese food. Once the MSG wears off, your stomach realizes it's not really full. MSG gives me puke-burps.

Word. I had the wedding soup and the chicken and egg noodles. I had to dump half a can or Mortan's Salt in the damn thing to make it palatable. "Low Sodium" = "Addminister Intravenously"

So THAT is why my soup tastes like water. Awesome, I thought I was losing my taste buds.

We should fucking revolt, I'm serious. They take away our cigarrettes, they take away our drugs nad our guns and our knives and our raves and our childhoods and our adulthoods. All they give is drudgery and shit!
HAVE THEY NOT SEEN THE WORLD? It is dying! We need to be REDUCING the life expectancy, not increasing it! Morphine for everybody would reduce the massive carbon emmision of the industrial commercial complex and allow us to meet targets for climate change that would make a real difference. The great mountains of fat, dead, cancer ridden, corpses could then be dumped into the oceon to provide foodstocks for much depleted populations of large predatory fish and allow us (the young) to lead better lives.

It's true that you can't beat canned soups for variety, but they're so overloaded with sodium and preservatives that canned soup is no longer a healthy meal. I think they're removing sodium and MSG in particular because some people have developed hypersensitivity to it, which can lead to irregular heartbeat, death, and worst of all, lawsuits. Yet another example of cowtowing to the weakest.

I don't really know what MSG is
I do know that I can buy a 24 can case of condensed chicken noodle soup and condensed chicken star soup for $12.99
It works for me
