Fight the freeze with some warming soup
As winter sets in, commuters across the
UK are being given a warming surprise after ‘Break In Case Of Emergency’ cases, containing a free can of the nation’s favourite Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup, were
placed across cities. Throughout soup season, Heinz will be popping up in the
coldest cities and towns across the UK, so keep your eyes peeled for one of the cases to get yourself a can of soup. Who said there was no such thing as a free lunch?!
The emergency soup boxes have
been created following research that found that 75% of Brits agree that nothing beats a winter chill
like a hot bowl of soup. According to figures, the north is the biggest soup 'hot spot' during the winter months, with Londoners' love of soup making the city come a close second. It is estimated that Heinz
will sell over 20 million cans of soup this January, keeping the nation warm, comforted and cosy in the cold weather.
Soup consumption increases by 65% from summer to the winter months, with demand increasing with every degree the temperature drops. Soup is definitely the ultimate comfort food to keep us going when the weather is miserable and Heinz canned soups are so convenient to keep in the cupboard for a quick and easy bowl of warming soup to keep the cold at bay.
