New Soup Container Blew Up In Microwave
Posted by Juniper123 on 11/06/2010
Purchased Campbells Select Harvest Clam Chowder in the New Container. Just spent half an hour cleaning the inside of our microwave, as it blew up and then tipped over all on its own. We have had this soup before in the can, but their new microwaveable container needs some technical work. Really ticked as the soup was on sale and my wife bought 20 of these new containers.
Another drawback; is that the containers have a perforated lid; and the units do not have cellophane wrap; so there was dirt in between the top of the can and the lid.

maybe just take it out of the container and put it into a bowl?

I have to agree with the op about the microwavable bowels. Though mine didn't blow up they make really loud popping noises when in the micro.

ROFL @ microwaveable "bowels" blowing up and making loud popping noises wallyworld. Freudian.
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2010-11-06:
So Wally, what you're saying is that your bowels didn't explode, ya just had some farting noises. LOL!
*Running off to bed*
Thanks for the review. Juniper...this is a good warning for parents to warn their kids if they use these. Should be a good reminder for people to not open the microwave as soon as the timer stops because if they reach for the food too soon, it can explode right in their hands and cause a serious burn. I've seen reports on that.

Lmao, dang I should of caught that.
Posted by Starlord on 2010-11-07:
Question to OP. Did you remove the lid before putting the plastic lid back on, as the directions say? I have had Campbells andNutri-System which uses the same type of container. Both made loud popping sounds and jumped about a half inch while heating. If there is schmutz between the plastic cover and metal lid, just rinse it off, just as you would a regular can with dirt on it.
Posted by raven2010 on 2010-11-07:
ACK! I use campbells soup at hand all winter long without any issue. I will be aware of these new bowls and avoid them.
i HATE cleaning up exploded food.

I remember when I was younger, I never knew it was bad to microwave an egg in the shell. We wanted a hard boiled egg, and thought we would experiment. Well it experiment went bad. My dad and I took an egg, put it in the microwave for a few minutes. we took it out, and just looked at it for a good 4-5 seconds and BOOOOOM! there was egg literally EVERYWHERE in the kitchen, and all over us. We just looked at each other and started cracking up! It was the most awsome thing ever! cleaning up the mess, on the other hand...was not funny.
Posted by trmn8r on 2010-11-07:
Egg everywhere, and you were cracking up? Exploding bowels? This sounds like Last Comic Standing.
Posted by Schlukitz on 2014-01-01:
Um..hello? The instruction on the package clear says "do not microwave in carton" in bold letters. Where did you think the resulting steam was going to go in a sealed carton?

Campbell Select Harvest Vegetable Soup
Posted by Joeyd on 05/02/2009
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- To the kitchens of Campbell Soup products.
I have searched the Internet every which way hoping to get an address for your corporate office to no avail.
I grew up in Chicago, IL west side next to your manufacturing and processing plant over 65 years ago. At that time my family had bought your soup products which were excellent in taste and aroma.
After getting married our eating habits changed wherein we cooked our own homemade broth and made various soups. As we grew older our eating and cooking habits once again changed and we reverted back to buying canned soups. I pride myself in being able to taste foods because of my Italian heritage and taste buds. I must tell you without hesitation your soup products under the Label "Select Harvest" are the worst product you currently market.
I keep asking myself as to whether you have people who taste your products before you approve of any batch. My wife and I tried your "Select Harvest" soups and I will tell you your products leave a lot to be desired in smell, taste, and appearance, absolutely disgusting you have drifted to a nothing product. I no longer sing your praises of Campbell Select Products.
Respectfully yours

Ken -- I didn't realize how lucky I am to be of Italian heritage and have taste buds! I thought we all had taste buds. I make homemade soup. Commercial soup has way to much salt in it. I have found since I started making my own, any soup out of a can tastes awful to me and my Italian taste buds.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-05-02:
Well, I cant say much for this review. They searched the intenet in "every which way" for an address... yet I was able to find it on the back of the can and provide it to them. I hope their taste buds are better than their eyes because if not, the review is not valid.

Don't buy that brand anymore...
Posted by DRVROFRED on 2009-05-02:
I just started using the Bear Creek soup that is like the Mrs.Grass where you add the water. I made the tortilla soup and I also like it thick so less water and more mix. I also added some cut up cooked chicken and it is tastey. I make extra so I have the really good soup that's sat over night and soaked up the flavor into the chicken. That's one of those foods that's better as a leftover.

John, do you know anything about Camden, NJ. I heard it's one rough place. I hope the mail can be delivered!
Speaking of good soup, though, I just had some today. I bought it at my Kroger store in the health food area. It's called Spicy Chicken Fajita. (And, it is very spicy.) It's made by Pacific Foods and also happens to be organic. It was on sale which brought it in line with the "other" soups. That brand makes some very good soups with great ingredients. I would also buy it at the full price.

My favorite lunch used a can of Campbell's Italian Wedding Soup. Every month I would stock up on this and ocassionally try other kinds as well. This was my favorite! Now I can hardly stomach it. It tastes terrible. Bring back the old recipe!! I've quit buying Campbell's for other brands for the most part. Every once in a while I'll pick up a can thinking that enough people have had to complain by now that they've fixed their recipe, but nope, I just tried a can today - terrible! Why mess with a good thing - maybe they need an MSG select for people like me who just want a quick, easy, satisfying lunch.

MSG In Campbell Soup And Products
Posted by Sdelf on 06/09/2009
I would like to issue a complain on your products that you add MSG or hidden MSG in... As most people know.. MSG is a poison and thousands of people get very sick after eating products that contain MSG.. We need to get it totally banned from all products.. Please discontinue its use so we can again buy Campbell products.

If you don't like it, don't buy it, but don't tell the rest of us what we can or cannot eat.
Posted by jktshff1 on 2009-06-09:
You are just wrong. Most people know that it's more of a flavor enhancer (a sodium salt) than anything else. Some people have a reaction to it just like most of the other stuff out there. If you can't tolerate it, don't buy stuff that has it in there.
Posted by L Lake on 2009-06-09:
MSG is a drug, because it alters how your body works. I am allergic to MSG and it makes me mad that Campbells claims it does not add MSG to some of their soup products, but hides it under names most people don't know as MSG. This poster is absolutely correct and thank you for posting about it.
Posted by DigitalCommando on 2009-06-09:
If msg were truly a drug, it would be regulated by the FDA.

Talk about a massive influx of msg and sodium, ramen is the king. I usually drain out all of the broth, mix in some butter and sprinkle about half the spice packet on it and eat it that way. It knocks out about 3/4 of the soduim if you don't drink all of the liquid.

If you were allergic to MSG, or were sensitive to it, you wouldn't be so light about this. It isn't right that Campbells can say they have no MSG in their products, and then hide them under others names. People who have a MSG allergy and don't know the other names for it, like natural flavors or flavorings, would buy their products unaware.
It's fun to poke fun of things like this, but if you had this allergy, it is anything but fun. Most of the products out there have it. Sometimes they don't have to label if it's in the product if it falls under broth.
MSG is hidden under the following names. Autolyzed Yeast, Calcium Caseinate, Glutamic Acid, Hydrolyzed Protein, Monopotassium Glutamate, Monosodium Glutamate, Sodium Caseinate, Textured Protein, Yeast Extract, Yeast Food and Yeast Nutrient.
Then these ingredients often contain MSG or will create MSG when they are processed.
Flavors and Flavorings, Seasonings, Natural Flavors and Flavorings, Natural Pork Flavoring, Natural Beef Flavoring, Natural Chicken Flavoring, Soy Sauce, Soy Protein Isolate, Soy Protein, Bouillon Stock, Broth, Malt Extract, Malt Flavoring, Barley Malt, Whey Protein, Carrageenan, Maltodextrin, Pectin, Enzymes Protease, Corn Starch, Citric Acid, Powdered Milk, Anything Protein Fortified, Anything Enzyme Modified, Anything Ultra-Pasturized.
If you find this such a laughing matter then copy off all of the ingredients I typed that you find MSG in, and then go to the grocery store, and see just how much you're able to actually eat. Then you'll see it's no laughing matter.
MSG has been linked to Obesity, Eye Damage, Headaches, Fatigue and Disorientation and Depression.
Although I've been aware of the list of ingredients for many years MSG falls under, I will provide you the link to MSG: Is This Silent Killer Lurking in Your Kitchen Cabinets? http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_17608.cfm

L Lake, it is hard to take the poster seriously, for heaven's sake. They're calling msg "poison" and calling for a total ban.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-06-10:
L Lake, considering that MSG is a seaweed derivitive, it's a little tough to accept that 'autolyzed yeast' is MSG. I suspect that holds for your other examples. I think someone is feeding you a line of BS, the equivalent of Proctor Gamble being Satan worshippers.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-06-10:
Also, MSG is not 'hidden' under the name Monosodium Glutamate, it IS monosodium glutamate (MSG).
Posted by SilverWngs71 on 2009-06-10:
To the poster this is from the link MissMarple gave. Answer #1 should be sufficient for you.
1. Is MSG safe?
Yes. MSG has been used for nearly 100 years and is one of the most thoroughly tested food ingredients. Food and health authorities worldwide, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have confirmed that the use of monosodium glutamate is safe for the general population.
(No Need to ban it)
For LLake:
7. Are some people allergic to MSG?
No. MSG is not an allergen. In 1991, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology concluded that MSG is not a food allergen, and severe reactions are not associated with consumption of the ingredient. It is possible that some people may be sensitive to MSG, just as people are to many other foods. If you think you have a food allergy, it's important to get a professional diagnosis from a board-certified allergist (preferably one with a specialty in food allergies). Relying on self-diagnosis could lead to unnecessary food restrictions and, more importantly, cause you to ignore or miss another important health problem.

Posted by L Lake on 2009-06-10:
I can be funny too. I laughed when I think someone brought up rubbing Ramen under your underarms. lol The flavor packets in Ramen probably have enough MSG in them to kill me. lol
The point is, it isn't right when a company like Campbell's says they haven't any MSG in their products, but in reality it's there under the disguised MSG names. It's such a let down reading just another can of something that I can't eat. lol
If you're not sensitive to MSG then count your blessings and enjoy everything that you can eat, because food sucks for me. If it tastes good then I can't have it. It's as simple as that.
I've heard that Panda Express says they don't have MSG in any of their foods, but I wouldn't take that chance and eat it.
Hey at least the MSG is not eating holes in my brain and opening me up to Alzheimer's or something wicked like that. So when you're all senile from consuming the high amounts of MSG throughout your lifetime, and I still have my sanity, then who will have the last laugh. lol I'm only joking. See I told you I can be funny. Even though I'm probably old enough to be some of your mothers, I still have my humor and my wit about me. lol

Rotten Vegetables
Posted by Soulmotion on 05/06/2011
I am SO disgusted with Campbell's soup products at this point. I grew up with Campbell's, raised my daughter with Campbell's as well, and for the last few years I have noticed the vegetable soups containing large chunks of rotted potatoes and carrots. In fact, about 1/2 of the can is filled with rotted potatoes and carrots. I don't even feed my dog rotted food. Where is the FDA? Why aren't they doing something about this? What is wrong with you people?? You're supposed to provide an edible product! Campbell's.. if you can't provide a quality product anymore, maybe you folks should take a hint and pack it in.
Products effected that I'm aware of are:
Campbell's Vegetable soup (ABC)
Campbell's Old-fashioned Vegetable soup
Campbell's Beef with Barley and Vegetables Soup
Campbell's Beef with Vegetables Soup

Change in Taste
Posted by Pwillis61 on 02/23/2011
I grew up on Campbells Chicken n Stars, Chicken w/Rice and Chicken Noodle. Gave it to my boys as they grew up - their favorite was the Double Noodle and Mega Noodle. You can't watch TV without seeing the ads boasting of the switch to sea salt. I guess this may be a healthy move but it is a huge negative in regards to taste. The soups now seem to have a chemical taste - slightly bitter. Could you not have just reduced the salt so I could add my own salt to taste? Gave the Chicken Noodle to my son when he was sick and he couldn't eat it. I'm glad the last can is gone from my pantry and will now buy another brand which has the normal amount of salt but at least it is edible.
Very disappointed,

Dirm - I know they did back in 2005 or so. It was unusual food actually. Their tomato soup had only 40 mg of sodium and ... well to be honest it tasted a little funny and I had to add a touch of salt.
I haven't seen it in stores since then but I just found it on Amazon so it still exists. You might have to special order it though, or see if there's a speciality store that carries it. I don't think it's a high-selling item, but .. at least they still make tit.
Look for a label like this: http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/images/Campbell%20Cream%20of%20Mushroom%20Soup.jpg

Select Harvest Soups
Posted by Sherrykdwyer on 02/01/2012
CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY -- The label on this can of Select Harvest Soup reads: "100% Natural" and "Whole Grain Pasta Fagioli". The label additionally pictures a bowl of soup chocked full of pasta and nice looking veggies. To my surprise, I discovered a horrible tasting, watery mess inside the can. The substance was unlike Pasta Fagioli in that it reeked of a meaty flavor. In dismay, I read the ingredients to find that this weird substance contains chicken stock, chicken fat, pork, and beef extract.
This product contains a fully deceptive front label in the regard that Pasta Fagioli is a vegetarian dish (contains no meat).

Good post Sherry. I saw this soup at my local market and it looked nasty. Read the label and I thought it was dog food. Like you said, chicken fat, pork and beef extract. Disgusting!! Also high amounts of sodium. Campbells puts a fancy label on it and jacks up the price. Do NOT but this product.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-02-02:
Pasta F@gioli is not automatically a vegetarian dish.
"Pasta f@gioli is commonly made using cannellini beans or borlotti beans and some type of small pasta such as elbow macaroni or ditalini. The base is generally olive oil, garlic, minced onion, and spices, along with stewed tomato or tomato paste. Some variations do not include tomatoes at all, and are made from a broth. Modern restaurant recipes may be vegetarian, or include an Italian meat such as prosciutto."
Although the soup does sound awful, there is nothing wrong with it containing meat or meat byproducts if it's not labeled vegetarian.
Posted by spiderman2 on 2012-02-02:
I would never assume food is vegetarian unless it is clearly marked so. Many soups and sauces use chicken broth as a base. For example, lots of people that don't eat meat on Fridays assume clam chowder contains no meat but many recipes start off with bacon.
Posted by Venice09 on 2012-02-02:
I didn't realize bacon was in so many foods. But even if something is labeled vegetarian, I would still check the label for ingredients like chicken broth. It never hurts to look at the ingredients.
I will say again though that this soups sounds terrible, vegetarian or not.
Posted by Inat on 2012-02-02:
fat and stock are bases of many soups. a pure vegetable broth is not very tasty but a meat based broth is more robust. For the most part, stocks are an emulsion of fats and proteins which is where most of the flavor comes from. Canned soups are gross regardless of where they come from or their base stock.

I drove tomato trucks several years to Campbells Sacramento plant, before i was permanently injured unloading 60-55 gal barrels of frozen tomato paste, 480-630lbs each, My trailer was low so they gave me a ramp which made my trailer point downhill towards the tractor, i had already unloaded 2 48,000 lb loads that Am and on way back got this load, they gave me a 1920'2 dolly wanted 4 per pallet, nearly pinched my fingers off a few times trying to get them on straight, after 20 my back blew out,At least I wasn't killed like a forklift driver I saw on a ramp that flipped him over!The water recirculates to empty the tomatoes and its black and stinky! smells like sewer water, a employee said its close to it!

New "improved" Cream of Mushroom soup
Posted by Kathleen8876 on 03/18/2010
I was horrified when I tasted the New recipe Cream of Mushroom Soup a few years ago. I used to love making Tuna Noodle Cassarole with it and now I never make it because the soup tastes terrible. I LIKED the lumps in my soup - creamy does not equal BETTER! I a tried other brands but apparently Campbell's makes many of them or they followed their lead because they have all ruined their creamed soups by changing the recipe and making them Smooth . . . yuck!

I totally agree with you. My Chicken and Rice casserole has never been the same since they changed their soups. Allow us to mourn together.
Bring back the good soups!
Posted by Starlord on 2010-03-19:
The taste of soups, or any food for taht matter, is totally subjective. My wife will not eat anything containing mushrooms, because, as she puts it, "I don't do fungus." I, on the other hand, enjoy this soup very much, and will continue to do so. Everyone to their own taste, said the lady as she kissed the cow.
Posted by PepperElf on 2010-03-19:
wait... both the mayo and the soup are lumpy?
all i can suggest is homemade mayo may be an option you want to take
Posted by Venice09 on 2010-03-19:
Pepper, the OP *wants* lumps in the soup and the mayo. She's complaining because they are too creamy. Like I said, lumpy soup is one thing, but lumpy mayo? I never heard of such a thing, and as gross as mayo is in the first place, I can't imagine it with lumps. What kind of lumps would be in mayonnaise?
Posted by GlitteringFirefly on 2010-03-19:
Starlord, I am in agreement with your wife. My brain sees athlete's foot and mushrooms on the same level and I get the heeby jeebys just thinking about eating them... My gf says I have issues. Oh well :)
Posted by Nohandle on 2010-03-19:
Did the OP change the review after posting because I see no mention of mayo in the complaint, just the soup.
Posted by Venice09 on 2010-03-19:
There's another review by the OP about Kraft mayonnaise with similar wording.

This was the first time I tried your select soup and am really glad I only bought one. This soup was the nastiest soup I have ever ate. When I opened the can the smell was disgusting, but went ahead and heated it up, one taste and I threw it in the garbage disposal. Does anyone taste this soup before you sell it. I have used Campbells soups all my life, and this is really bad for your company as far as taste and smell. I hope you do better on the next soups you make, but for me I will not purchase the select soups ever again. Thank you

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean no body else does. Liver is nasty but my family loves it.

Posted by Ponie on 2009-11-13:
I certainly agree, Christine, however instead of bothering to make a complaint about the soups, I just don't buy them. Here's a way to make these low-this, no-that soups (or other foods) taste good: Load them up with butter, salt, and MSG. :) Only time I've ever bought them is when I had a coupon where I got it at practically no cost and didn't make the second purchase.
Right, Lady, everyone's tastes differ. I'm in agreement with OF and your family. Love liver if done properly. When ordering it out and I'm asked: Bacon or onions, my answer is 'Yes.'
I'll wait for my troll to appear with comments about my lifestyle, tastes, etc. :)
Posted by warddw1526 on 2009-11-13:
And they do have someone taste the soup. That guy from the TV commercial where they were talking about lowering the amount of salt in their soups.
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-11-13:
At least you didn't spill the soup in your lap while listening to crappy music, like a certain member on here did
Posted by ewww on 2012-06-06:
I know this is an extremely old post, but I have to say, for anyone else that comes across this, I totally agree. The taste wasn't great but it was better then the smell. It's not just the smell of broccoli because I LOVE broccoli and the smell has never bothered me. I cannot describe the smell, it was awful and it made me sick to my stomach, literally. When you open the can, it actually smelt okay, but then I heated it up. I didn't even notice the smell until the first bite, but it was horrible. I couldn't even finish the soup. I was disappointed because broccoli potatoe soup is my absolute favorite. It was like nothing I have ever smelled before and for a while I couldn't even figure out where the smell was coming from. Once I throw the soup away, the smell went away.

Worm in Campbell's Chunky Soup!!
Posted by Harrisonfam on 12/06/2006
MASSACHUSETTS -- I purchased a can of Campbell's Chunky brand Chicken & Corn Chowder on 12/4/06. Actualy, I had purchsed 6 cans of their soup in 3 varieties. Opened the can and microwaved it and split it with my daughter. While my daughter was eating the soup she spotted something on her spoon. She wasked me what it was and I said probably a stem of some sort and took it off her spoon. I then looked at at closely and saw it was a WORM! The insect looked like a maggot and was about 3/4 " long and fully intact. I called Campbell's 800# on the can and they took all the info from the can and my contact info and said they would send a reimbursement check ($1.85?). I returned all of the remaining Chunky soups to the store and I WILL NOT be buying their product ever again as obviously they have bad quality control. This experience was so traumatizing that I can't fathom eating a canned product of any kind ever. The customer service rep sounded like she gets these calls all the time which is truly disgusting. I purchased these products because my son plays pop warner football and always admired the commercials with all of the pro-football players and their moms. He has been asking me for Chunky soup for months and for this to happen is disheartening. I am sorry but there is no excuse for an full insect to be in a can of soup. I feel as though all kinds of insects could be in their products just not detected---T. Harrison

This is probably more common than you think, considering the amount of various vegatables that are combined into those products. Since they are pre-cooked, perhaps they don't wash/inspect them as much as they should. Gross none-the-less!
Posted by Noneill on 2006-12-06:
I agree with Sparticus, I am sure it happens all the time. We just cannot always recognize it. It seems disgusting to us, but there are cultures that eat maggots and other insects. I hope your reaction was not witnessed by your daughter. It really isn't a life or death situation and this could set her up for food phobia.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-12-06:
Considering the quantity and volume of prouct they put out, it doesn't surprise me.
Posted by Anonymous on 2006-12-06:
I am so glad that the little critter wasn't eaten. I got a can of green beans with a grasshopper once. Not a big deal unless you eat it or at least half of it to prove your case. Give Campbells another chance, okay? Btw, isn't little league football the best? Especially when the PARENTS behave while the game is being played?

Did you keep the worm?
Posted by Skye on 2006-12-06:
If it was a maggot, it might be a fly by now. Either way, I am sure there is lots of stuff in our foods we don't realize has been processed into it. Don't they have some kind of chart that allows for certain "non-food" items to pass through?? It's still yucky. I found a fly in a head of lettuce recently, he was buried in the leaves.

I had that happen to me also, Skye.

Well, worms are a source of protien, but I have to admit that I would also be disgusted if I found a cooked worm in my soup. However you do have to admit that there are worse thing than finding a worm in your soup, for instance finding half a worm.
Posted by heaven17 on 2006-12-06:
Well, it is a CHUNKY soup... Okay, seriously, I really think you have to ask yourself, how many cans of their product have I used/consumed without a problem and compare it to this one bad incident. If this is the first time, it's forgivable. Any major company can have the same thing happen occasionally even when taking all of the necessary precautions. I think it's pretty funny that we (myself included) feel sick when we encounter something like this when there are cultures in the world that eat bugs on purpose. Ah, well. C'est la vie.

heaven17 - You are right she should be asking herself how many cans of their product have I consumed/used with a problem, she should also be asking how many cans have I used and consumed without realising that I ate a worm not knowing it was there.
Posted by harrisonfam on 2006-12-07:
Thankfully I played it cool and didn't let my daughter know what that was on her spoon. I doubt she would have never ate processed food again...she is 14 and so squimish. I always heard those weird statistics about how many bugs we eat unknowingly, but dismissed it as urban legends...I guess they are not! I did keep the worm thinking they may want to see what in the world it was. yes, Mr. Mafia a half of worm would have been a whole lot worse. I just can't see myself at this point opening up a can of soup and not be paranoid thinking about that worm so I'm steering clear of their products especially. If I do use a can of vegetables or something, you best believe that I looking through it before serving it my family! zzrokk- loved pop warner football, my son is so bummed that football is over!

Nice, Harrison. My son is grown now but I still take in a few games. In about three more years my oldest grandson will be stepping onto the field.
Posted by Campbellsquality on 2006-12-22:
Harrison, I am also quite disgusted. I was sitting down to eat a bowl of soup before heading out to the hockey rink and I also found a Maggot in a Campbell's soup. I know it's easy for everyone to say that its not that big of a deal and it happens all the time, but its a different story when all you want is a bowl of soup and you are about to put a whole worm in your mouth? I'm actually quite glad to hear that there is more than just me that have had to go through this experience.
Posted by Starlord on 2007-05-09:
Our daughter refuses to use ketchup, as she once heard the FDA allows a certain amount of insect parts in ketchup. We haven't had the heart to tell her that the FDA has a level for insect parts in nearly every canned or packaged food, as it would be impossible to remove 100% of insect parts, rodent hairs, etc. Don't go getting queasy, the amount is so small that finding an intact maggot is very very unusual.
Posted by zen999 on 2008-05-28:
This has just happened to me and my mother today, and by God, I plan to make a youtube video out of it! I have pictures of it and more, and we are both really pissed off, and will never eat a crappy can of campbells soup again.
Posted by SllyWhckyCtie101 on 2008-06-22:
are you absolutely POSITIVE it was a worm? by the law, it can'T possibly be allowed to happen - mistake or not! it was probly a different item, but looked as if it were a worm! im sorry if your all p*ssed at me, i know i cant really judge since i was not there, but i just thought id throw this out =)
Posted by DebtorBasher on 2008-06-22:
I realize this was posted in 2006...but since there's been new comments posted...it may have very well been one of those little corn worms...Whatever y'all do, DON'T think that switching to Hormel's Beef Stew would be better...they have windpipe in their Dinty Moores!
Posted by moni_62960 on 2008-10-09:
This also happened to me. I found a maggot in Campbells Cup of Soup. It was chicken noodle. When the lid was lifted off after drinking 3/4 of the cup there was a live maggot after being microwaved! When I called Campbells 800 number I was told that theirs are usually black because they've been cooked so he didn't think it was from them and sent me a few lousy coupons! Like I'm really going to drink more of their soup!
Posted by Graycyn on 2009-02-24:
I too found a worm in my Campbells Chunky Sirloin Burger with Country Vegetables. I'm so disgusted. I had taken a few bites when I noticed this "thing" looks like a mealworm. I pray that it was the only one and I didn't eat one or its eggs. Yuck! I called Campbells and they are "forwarding" my complaint on to the quality dept. and sending me some coupons. Not sure if I could ever by their soups again though. Clearly, I'll anaylyze every bite. Sigh. Worse part, the soup wasn't even good. My husband bought the wrong kind. Go figure.

Heres a maggot for you,, heres one for ,you,,heres yours,,and one for me;)Now,,,who wants the juicy fat one,, or should we split it among ourselves before anyone else comes wandering in?

I've been looking for old Vertigo stuff that I haven't read yet and saw Chiaroscuro: The private lives of Leonardo Da Vinci and was wondering if anyone has read it, and if it was any good. Da Vinci has always intrigued me, however there didn't look like much of the art or academia was mentioned.
Also, wondering about stuff like Goddess, Egypt, Outlaw Nation, Black Orchid, Army @ War, Uncle Sam...
Anyone know much about these?
Thanks heaps

Also, it's odd to see Tabarrok attacking this particular statement in the first place. For an economist, isn't the idea that insurance companies would try to avoid unhealthy customers kind of trivial? They are trying to make money, yes? Isn't it natural for them to respond to incentives? That is, if there isn't a market failure of some kind.
Recently, a friend asked me about the prospects for photographing Betelgeuse when it goes supernova. Not as far-fetched as it might seem. Betelgeuse is a very late stage red giant (it's the brightest star in Orion, the left shoulder), with large-scale instabilities. It's in the last moments of life.I don't why this interests me so much, but it certainly isn't because of the possibility of photographing it. I suppose I just like the idea of "participating" in cosmic events, which are usually so inaccessible because of the time scales involved. Or, maybe I just like massive explosions.
A red giant lives a million times longer than a human being, so the fact that Betelgeuse has anywhere from "seconds" to "days" to live doesn't have quite the immediacy it does when we're talking about a human being. Still, there's a finite chance the wavefront is already on its way and will arrive in our lifetimes.
By the way, there is apparently no danger to civilization, thanks to Betelgeuse's rotational axis. Readers of The Road (or Marginal Revolution) can rest easy.
1. Malcolm Gladwell on overconfidence, recapping a bunch of this William Cohan book (and even pulling the same quote I did). I'm looking forward to the new book on the financial crisis from Ben Bernanke's perspective.
2. Ezra Klein on the problem with Obama's health care strategy. Ezra is the person to listen to on the health care mess.
3. A long feature on Valerie Jarrett and her influence.
4. Advice on how to become a regular at a restaurant. I'm not sure why you need a guide to this... don't you just start going all the time? But I suppose some people, once they get there, will find a way to thwart themselves.
5. A reading list of postmodern fiction.
6. Here is a person who lives without accumulating or spending any money.
7. And here is Tyler Cowen on the future of libraries and his own reading habits. His latest book, Create Your Own Economy, deals with this more. UPDATE: More from Cowen on reading.
I work at a used and rare bookstore, and I buy books from people everyday. These are the personal, funny, heartbreaking and weird things I find in those books.My dad's habit of dropping interesting items into books to be happened upon later rubbed off on me, so many of my books contain old letters, train tickets, newspaper clippings, etc. It can be fun to find these things later and be transported back, but it can also be a problem if you are lending or getting rid of books. I hate the idea that some personal memento could find its way onto a blog from someone at a used bookstore (although of course I love reading about others' mementos).
The notion of picking 400 individuals at random to work with experts reminds me of this quote from William Buckley that my dad used to like to repeat (though I wonder what Buckley would think of the plan to have experts educate them beforehand):
I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.Personally I can see the attraction of this idea, but isn't this sort of romantic direct democracy (in the form of propositions) what got them into this mess in the first place?
No posts around here beacuse I've been busy reading House of Cards, the William Cohan book on the Bear Stearns collapse. It's fascinating for someone who's never really had any exposure to the culture of Wall Street, but it's ultimately going to be really unsatisfying because it ends far too soon -- the Lehman and AIG deals, along with the concurrent political machinations by McCain and Obama, will have to be in the sequel I guess.
One thing that's amazed me is the language some of these people are willing to use in interviews that were obviously on the record. Since Tim Geithner is so popular these days, here's a quote from Jimmy Cayne, a former Bear Stearns executive, on the then New York Fed president:
The audacity of that prick in front of the American people announcing he was deciding whether or not a firm of this stature and this whatever was good enough to get a loan. Like he was the determining factor, and it's like a flea on his back, floating down underneath the Golden Gate bridge, getting a hard-on, saying "Raise the bridge." This guy thinks he has a big dick. He's got nothing, except maybe a boyfriend. I'm not a good enemy. I'm a very bad enemy. But certain things really -- that bothered me plenty. It's just that for some clerk to make a decision based on what, your own personal feeling about whether or not they're a good credit? Who the fuck asked you? You're not an elected officer. You're a clerk. Believe me, you're a clerk. I want to open up on this fucker, that's all I can tell you.
I should probably start a new blog called The Refrigerator Door for this, but...
My daughter Miriam has built a lot of things out of Legos, but this one really blew me away. Maybe it's my own failure of imagination with other things she's built in the past, but to me these seahorses have a creative vision all their own apart from anything I've showed her how to do. When I saw them my first reaction was to think they were very strange and wonder where they could possibly have come from.
According to Miriam the one on the left has a baby inside. Interesting fact about seahorses: it's actually the fathers who incubate the eggs after they are fertilized, in a small pouch on their bellies. Miriam and I learned this from an Eric Carle book a while back, but I don't think she remembered it.
2. And Ross Douthat is going to be a columnist for the New York Times, replacing Bill Kristol. There's apparently never been a younger columnist for the Times, but I can't think of anyone better -- and better for the conservative movement -- than Douthat. It'll be interesting to see how conservatives see the move; I suspect Douthat will end up moving the debate measurably.
Just some books we took back to the library today. I wanted to take a picture so I'll remember what we had and what we liked, and it occurred to me to post it here in case others are interested. I sure wish I'd done this from the beginning. Miriam's favorites were probably Corduroy (which we'd had out before), When the Elephant Walks, Kitten's First Full Moon, Hugo at the Window, and especially Bruno the Baker, which is basically a recipe for a cake disguised as a story (Miriam loves cooking).
MORE: So after I looked at this again, I realized that she probably asked for The Owl and the Pussycat more than any of the others, but that was sort of an oddball choice because she knew the poem before. Anne Mortimer's illustrations are really something though.
Here's what Sun-Times responded with after seeing the story:
Since we're on the list of dying/going digital - I don't buy it - a question: Why is going digital equated with dying in this media age?Well, in the case of the Sun-Times, going digital probably will mean death. This is the same company that cut all of their permalinks for a redesign three years ago. I don't read the Sun-Times website much these days (although a quick look reminds me how clumsy it is), but the Pioneer Press site -- the series of local news outlets that has the potential to be a huge cash cow because of the opportunity for highly targeted advertising -- is an embarrassment. It loads so slowly that half the time I give up one it. When it does load, the content I'm looking for either doesn't exist yet or is very difficult to find. As a photographer, what amazes me most is that they almost never bother to link photos to the relevant stories. Instead, photos are listed in a gallery where users are invited to purchase prints. Now I don't know how much money they make off these prints, but it speaks volumes that they think this kind of direct sales project is more important than getting all the related content in the same place so that people can find it and use it.
I don't really understand why it has been so difficult for print journalism to make the kinds of transformational changes needed to get the most out of their content online. Other industries have figured it out. Is it just that the transformation is somehow more fundamental to what the press does? Some of these organizations will obviously survive, but it seems to me the next round will go to publications that have been built from the ground up with a new business model in mind. In fact, if I had the time and the resources to invest, I'd be working on building an online only local news source myself.
Researchers are familiar with the idea that poor people have a harder time getting access to healthy food. But Franco said the two studies his team published are the first to take a look at the issue in a large city; in this case, it was Baltimore. Previous research, he said, only looked at a few neighborhoods or areas.I only have limited experience going into grocery stores in the poorer parts of Chicago, but a big part of the problem is a lack of sufficient grocery stores to begin with. It would be interesting to know what Franco means when he says that "neither the store owners nor the residents themselves are entirely to blame." What dynamics are at play here?
Researchers visited 226 food stores in the city of Baltimore and Baltimore County -- including supermarkets and convenience stores -- and looked at the availability of healthy food. They then tracked the availability of healthy food in each of 159 neighborhoods.
I guess this kind of critical discussion of the organic and local food movements resonates so much with me because I've always felt a little uncomfortable with the self-righteous moral positioning that seems to go along with these products. Of course, I buy organics (less so locally produced food),and I do so in large part because they taste better and I have a vague sense that they are healthier. I am willing to pay a premium because I value better taste and health. But there's also a feeling that when I purchase these items, I'm also buying a sort of environmental indulgence.
Do people really miss the irony of using the term "sustainable" to refer to this kind of production? I understand that (among other things) it's referring to the unsustainability of using petroleum, which is a limited resource, as a motivator of food production. But if you can't scale it up to a place where it provides food for the whole world because of limitations on another natural resource -- land -- then doesn't it end up being equally unsustainable? Doesn't it just become a luxury product, a way for some people to feel like they're doing their part while the hoi polloi keep eating their corn? It's certainly sold like a luxury product. I don't see it at WalMart.
As I write this I'm in the middle of reading The Omnivore's Dilemma (highly recommended based on what I've read so far, but of course you've probably already read it) and while Pollan's description of our industrial food production is deeply troubling, there's this inescapable question of scale that it manages to satisfy. These ugliest features of our food production are also the same ones that allow us to live in the modern world, that support our populations and our largely urban lifestyle. Obviously the current system can't continue, but it seems pretty clear that any system that replaces it has to satisfy the same question of scale.

The Aprilia SportCity Cube is a totally restyled version of the Sportcity 250ie chassis fitted with a bored and stroked Piaggio Quasar engine, taking it to 278cc. It may seem like 300cc is an odd choice of capacity, but it gives Aprilia a head-on rival to Honda's Italian chart-topping SH300 high-wheeler that's both stylish and comfortable around town.
244cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The Piaggio X7 250 ie is halfway between a full-on maxi scooter and a lightweight city scooter, so in theory should offer comfort and a bit of class with some traffic busting ability. It manages it too – it feels substantial and quality but slices traffic like a 50cc scooter.

Two recent announcements will mean a significant shift in players in the destination management industry and a more global presence for their clients.
Allied Europe announced last Tuesday its acquisition of PRA Destination Management, the leading DMC in North America. PRA's 19 franchises, along with Allied's seven offices in Europe and the Middle East, will form a new parent company, Allied International.
Allied CEO James W. Hensley has expanded his company exponentially since 1999, from one office in France to offices in the U.K., Italy, Spain, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates. This move further increases the company's reach, providing DMC services to three continents. PRA founder and chairwoman Patti Roscoe, who formed her company in 1981, will continue her involvement as a member of the board of directors of Allied International.
Meanwhile, also on Tuesday, DMC veterans Patrick Delaney and Padraic Gilligan announced the formation of Ovation Global DMC, an expansion of their Dublin, Ireland-based company, which services many North American programs. Besides its Ireland office, Ovation will now have offices in Dubai, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Switzerland, and the U.K., with additional offices opening in 2008 in Austria, China, India, and Portugal.
During the announcement at EIBTM in Barcelona, Delaney said, "Ovation Global will redefine the concept of destination management services by creating a truly professional global organization run by people who intimately understand the logistical, creative, and strategic requirements of meetings, events, and incentive travel planners."

Weak interaction
Weak interaction, also called the weak force or weak nuclear force,[1] is one of the four fundamental forces in the universe. It is carried by particles known as the W and Z bosons, which are gauge bosons. The weak force causes beta decay, a form of radioactivity. [2] At extremely high energy levels, the force of weak interaction and electromagnetism begin to act the same, and this is called electroweak interaction.
Beta Decay[change | edit source]
Beta Decay is what scientists call an atom breaking down. The different types of breaking down are called radioactivity. Beta Decay can be simply explained as breaking down a neutron into a proton and an electron. However, this is not completely true.
Beta Decay begins with a neutron, which is made of one up quark and two down quarks. Since up quarks have a charge of +2/3, and each down quark has a charge of -1/3 this results as giving 2/3 -1/3 -1/3 = 0 charge. Due to weak force, if there are too many neutrons in an atom nucleus, one of the down quarks in one of the neutrons turns into an up quark. This would change the charge of the neutron from 0 to (2/3 +2/3 -1/3) = 1. From this, the neutron is no longer a neutron, but actually a proton (particle with a charge of +1).
In a strange quantum effect, this transformation releases a particle called a W boson. This is the gauge boson (force-carrying particle) of weak force. Oddly, the W boson weighs about 80 times as much as a neutron. This sort of thing actually happens very often in quantum mechanics, but it follows the conservation of energy because it happens so quickly. After 3x10–25 seconds, the W boson breaks into an electron and an electron antineutrino. (The electron antineutrino doesn't really do much). This releases the electron, and basically creates a proton from a neutron.

Bullet to the Head (2013)
Rating: 7/10
Fun: 9/10
A Louisiana hitman loses his partner during a hit and never receives his payment. He must work together with a detective to climb the criminal ladder to kill the individual responsible for the death of his partner and dodging the payment.
I wanted to see this because I heard its an old school style action move, and Sylvester Stallone is in it. Those two reasons are more than enough for me to want to see it. Prior to seeing the movie, I read some reviews about people saying that the plot was stupid, the characters were dull, and it was just a cheap bloody thrill. Honestly, with a title called 'Bullet to the Head', starring Sylvester Stallone, I don't know what else you could expect. I was very pleased with the movie, while it wasn't exactly the best action movie I ever saw, it was a very entertaining movie. The critics were right, the plot was stupid, but I think the plot simply served as just a tool to make the movie gritty and give him a reason to kill people. The characters were pretty bad, the villain was generic, his servant was generic, Stallone's character felt like a less nice version of the same character from The Expendables (was actually kind of cool), and his sidekick was a textbook detective working with a criminal. However, the overall feel of the movie was awesome. Lots of Louisiana blues guitars and harmonicas as the soundtrack, some gritty action scenes which touched on old school action movies (bar scenes, factory scenes, and when is the last time you saw a bath house fight scene?). And I love how modern action movies are going back to the one on one final fight scenes, this just reminds me of well...90% of action movies from the 1990's and before. I just didn't enjoy how most of the hand the hand combat scenes did the whole constant camera shaking and changing angles so its a little difficult to keep up with everything. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie. Its a very to the point action movie, its just straight into gritty revenge and violence. Go in expecting something different and you'll be let down, as an action movie fan, this was a blast.

Re: Movie Review thread.
the guy is being regarded by some as a hero, or the total media blackout about certain of his attitudes.
I should have expected that after Donny came through and spooged all over the thread, we would have a dearth of actual movie reviews. Therefore, here's a two-fer.
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
Action Fantasy
Score: 6/10
Stars: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Peter Stormare, Famke Janssen
Director: Tommy Wirkola
I took my son to this at his urging, even though he's not a big fantasy fan. He liked it more than I did. To my jaded eyes, this wasn't much more than a re-hash of Van Helsing with witches instead of vampires, with superior special effects.
I always like Famke Janssen, though, and as long as you don't have great expectations it's not a bad popcorn flick. Lots of whooshing semi-airborne fighting (think Endor airbikes)
For Greater Glory: The True Story of Cristiada
Action Documentary
Score: 9/10
Stars: Andy Garcia, Peter O'Toole, Ruben Blades, Oscar Isaac, Eva Longoria, Bruce Greenwood, Raul Mendez, others
Director: Dean Wright
Was hoping to see this from the first time I heard about it, and it confirmed my suspicion of overt media anti-Christian bias. This movie knocked my socks off, yet it's already on Netflix with a mediocre rating. I won't be surprised it it's also being panned because some felt it has uncomfortable parallels to current events.
To be sure, there's two things going against it - first, that my younger weak-minded countrymen don't like movies that have less than full-frontal nudity and happy Bamby endings, and second that not everyone likes historical 'period' pieces. That being said, this ranks up there close to Lawrence of Arabia in my book (10/10, and yes I know T.E. was queer).
The details. I knew vaguely about post-Revolution Mexico not being as cut & dried as my Latin America studies in both grade school and university would indicate. However, I knew NOTHING about this actual series of events, nor about the "Maximato" period. Soon after the Revolution, the President of Mexico, Plutarco Elias Calles, ruled Mexico under distinctly Socialist policies. No real surprise there, to be honest (labeled both Fascist and Communist, and probably neither).
However, Calles took his militant Atheism to a surprising conclusion: he outlawed religious orders, confiscated property rights of the religious, and terminated cleric's legal rights. For some weird reason, Wiki insinuates that the Freemason anti-Catholic attitudes had a lot to do with the "Maximato" which makes little sense as even Freemasonry has religious overtones. The movie depicts numerous atrocities like Catholic priests being slaughtered in their own churches just for saying Mass. I have no reason to disbelieve this; according to Wiki, there were 4500 priests in Mexico before Calles' "cleansing" and only 334 afterward.
The hero of the film, Enrique Gorostieta (Andy Garcia), was a contemporary of Calles and also a strong Atheist, though married to a Catholic (Longoria). The film is about his being hired to conduct the counter-revolution by the Mexican Catholic populace, with a lack of support from either the U.S. or the Roman Catholic Church.
Some might claim that his heroic journey is too predictable, but I wouldn't agree, and there's certainly no schmaltz-bulging happy ending. The reality of the "Maximato" era and the "Cristero" conflict is a hell of a lot bloodier and nastier than I ever had even imagined; apparently President Calles butchered 5500 "Cristeros" after they had agreed to a cease fire!
I'm not at all surprised that Leftists don't want such a horrific example of their true behavior seen so close to home.

A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
Rating: 7.5/10
Fun: 9/10
John McClane must help his son escort a high value criminal suspect to safely in Russia.
This was yet another fun action movie, and we are only 1.5 months into 2013. I am a huge fan of the older Die Hard movies, and although I had a blast with this movie, it was definitely the weakest of the five movies. With a badass character like John McClane, portrayed by a badass actor like Bruce Willis, I was hoping we would get a little more excitement from John McClane. For some reason it just feels that either the movie was too short or John McClane wasn't as John McClane-y as he should have been. But there were plenty of jokes you would expect from the character. Further, action movies aren't typically known for their plots, and Die Hard was definitely a series that wasn't known for its plot, but this one was astonishingly bad. I don't want to spoil it because its one of those movies where the plot unfolds as it goes on (not like you would miss much anyway), but this seriously felt like a really bad 007 plot line from the 1990's. On top of that, besides McClane of course, all of the characters were really annoying, especially his son. But the great news is that the action scenes were awesome, including some really over the top scenes. It was a very fast paced movie. It was a really fun movie, I would gladly see it again, but its simply a shell of what the other Die Hard movies were, including the last one. I think it was a little too much focus on the already bad storyline and too much focus on the really lame characters like McClane's son and the political prisoner. But good news is that Die Hard is back to its appropriate R rating, so the blood and swearing, including the famous yippee-ki-yay line are all there. Excellent movie for the entertainment, but it could have been much more.

Re: Movie Review thread.
I watched a couple of movies I can review!
Seven Psychopaths (2012)
Rating: 8/10
Fun rating: 9/10
This has several big name stars (Christopher Walken, Woody Harrelson, Colin Farrell and a few more) so when I saw spots for it on tv I really wanted to go see it in theaters. Well, that didn't happen but this was my Valentine's Day movie... while I burned brownies. Brownies should not be cupcakes and if they should, then I need to cut back baking time. Anyways, so this movie is about a writer creating a script called Seven Psychopaths. He is influenced by some real life psychopaths (he has an interview with one psychopath and I enjoyed that scene) and some he made up on his own/help of his buddy. His buddy kidnaps this mob boss's adorable dog named Bonny and craziness ensues from there.
I loved this film! Plenty of action, I thought it was funny in a lot of parts, I thought the acting was decent. Nothing super stand out, but I can totally see Tom Waits being a psychopath. It also had some touching moments to balance out the comedy, I guess. It's also a brutal movie, pretty graphic. It's a fun movie with zingers, action, blood, humor because they're all effing crazy! lol! Really fun movie.
Lol at the next one...
Mommie Dearest (1981)
Rating: I have no idea
Fun Rating: Would this movie even be fun ratable?
okay, so... Everyone older than 35 knows this movie. Hell, I'll even be generous and say 30. MAAAYBE my age range if someone in your family told you about this movie or you saw someone watching it. And if you know this movie, you also know never to call your mother "Mommie Dearest" or else you get the **** slapped out of you. Trust me on this, kk? This movie... Lol! Let's start at the beginning.
The movie is based off of a book of the same title written by Christine (or Christina? Idr) Crawford, Joan Crawford's adopted daughter. It is a tell-all book about how Joan abused her and her younger adopted brother Christopher as they were kids and some events that happened in her adulthood. I wanna say it came out after Joan died (pretty sure that's how it went) in the... late 70s?? and it had mixed reviews. Some people came forward and said, "Yes, this is true." Others were calling it a load of bull****. So, Hollywood thinks this is so wonderful that they make a movie and Faye Dunaway is Joan Crawford. Let me just say.... dat ***** in the wire hanger scene is scary. Because she has on her beauty mask, it's white, her eyes are bigger than light bulbs, she's stark raving mad and beating her kid with a wire hanger. It's bad, but yet, at the same time I could help but laugh because of the acting. The kids were fine, it was Dunaway. Like, omg, it felt very exaggerated and overdramatized in a lot of places, yet believable. For me, at least. Apparently, Crawford was pretty damn OCD and she just got so angry at the smallest of things. Child abuse is never funny, but her acting... I caught myself stifling laughter at several parts.
I have read that when this movie came out, it got so many bad reviews that it lost its seriousness along the way and became a campy movie. Recommend it? Eh, if you want to understand why you were forbidden to ever call your mother "Mommie Dearest" or have a thirst for pop culture knowledge.

Most of this confusion seemed to stem from the fact that no one really knew for sure if these next-generation video game consoles would offer the player anything new. Yes, there would be better graphics, better online functionality, a better multimedia experience, and a better controller, but would that be it?

'Goat Simulator' is Live! You can Virtually Live as a Goat!
I've often thought that what the animal rights movement really needs are some rocking simulations of animal life. I'm not sure Goat Simulator will offer that (I'm still downloading it), but think about this: imagine teaching a grade seven science class where you hook your students up to Oculus Rift VR sets, fix them with some haptic arm and leg bands, and send them out to join a wolf pack stalking caribou in the arctic tundra (Dire Wolf!).

NCAA establishes Division I Bowl Task Force: NCAA President Mark Emmert announced the establishment of an NCAA Division I Bowl Licensing Task Force to examine the purpose, criteria, process and oversight of the NCAA licensing procedures for football bowl games. More »
NCAA President Mark Emmert today announced the members of the Division I Bowl Licensing Task Force, a group that includes leading corporate executives, university presidents, athletics directors and conference representatives.
The task force will be co-chaired by Harvey Perlman, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and Kenneth I. Chenault, chairman and CEO of the American Express Company. In addition to Chenault, the task force will include another outside expert, Sharon I. Allen, chairman of the board of Deloitte LLP.
The task force will include three university presidents (Judy Genshaft of South Florida, Nathan O. Hatch of Wake Forest and John G. Peters of Northern Illinois); two athletics directors (Joe Castiglione of Oklahoma and Tim Curley of Penn State); two conference commissioners (Dan Beebe of the Big 12 and Craig Thompson of the Mountain West); and two conference administrators (Greg Sankey of the Southeastern Conference and Kevin Weiberg of the Pac-10).
"Through the strong and inclusive leadership we have assembled, the task force will undertake a full review of the bowl structure to ensure the integrity of the system and bring a better public understanding of the NCAA's role with licensing bowl games," Emmert said.
Emmert announced the creation of the new task force in April. The panel will examine several areas, including governance and oversight by bowl sponsoring agencies, conflict-of-interest rules and policies, advertising and title-sponsorship standards, and the oversight and reporting of financial management of bowl games.
The task force expects to report findings and recommendations to the NCAA Board of Directors in October.
