I love it, Patrick!
I would buy soup as well if they looked like this. Much nicer to be greeted by this sight when you open the pantry door.

Who here likes pop art?
Just procured these Andy Warhol edition soup cans earlier tonight....
Not a fan of tomato soup...
The best is Campbell's chicken noodle soup. So what are you gonna do with the procurement of these cans? They made over a million of these and called it limited edition, are people actually collecting these and hoping they go up in value? -MW
Not sure I've had Campbell's Tomato Soup...

Some people find Jeff Koons to be unoriginal and over priced.
Let's say there was a modern pop artist, that would be Jeff Koons. And some people find his "balloon dog" to be overvalued.
This is art?
Patrick: Here is a Koons that you may find interesting - I wouldn't call it art but, yet, it was prominently displayed in a museum. That "sculpture" is two basketballs suspended in a tank of distilled water (couldn't run the risk of some microbes deterior...
That was Jeff Koon's first piece of art...
The basketballs in water was Jeff Koon's first piece of art. Originally sold for $3500 or thereabouts. Today, it's worth many times that. I agree, Jeff Koon's art is a questionable medium, but art is very much a questionable discussion to begin with.
