Isn't Tomato Bisque just Cream of Tomato Soup?

I would posit that it is. My stomach would agree. Yesterday, the San Francisco Soup Company duped me. I was going to get the Butternut Squash, but Tomato Bisque just sounded so damn fancy and delicious. It wasn't.

I hate when people give something a new fancier name just to make you believe it's better than it is. Isn't "Kitchen Fresh Chicken" the same old crap from before? I guess if you consider the local KFC a kitchen and you consider fried things to be fresh, they're on to something. The question is, who now thinks, "I should eat healthy tonight. I'll have some fried chicken."

And isn't P. Diddy just Sean "Puffy" Combs? Who wasn't excited by the thought of what "P. Diddy" could bring us? More bling? No, the same old Cristal and hip-hop as before. Who didn't wonder if that "P" stood for Puffy and whether the "Diddy" was going to be the new word for Daddy? Who's he trying to fool? J. Lo? Does he think she will think he is a new man now? As if she'd say, "Well, he did change his name. I'm sure he doesn't carry weapons into nightclubs anymore."

And, perhaps most disturbingly, isn't a low-carb beer just a crappy watered down beverage? I mean really, if you're trying to be healthy or lose weight, just don't drink beer.
