...and promptly turned the can upside down to see what year it was tinned up.
Perhaps he was thinking of this?:

The best thing for a foggy brain is Nyquil and a long nap. I hope you feel better soon. We need you healthy. A sick pipestud is no bueno for the pipe smoking community.

There is a supermarket close to the place I live that I visit from time to time. I remember while picking up a bread I saw a tin which had the word "Cavendish" on it. I was like "this is it, they have some pipe tobacco here. I wonder if they sell Aromatics only." Then I check and see this:

Get well soon!
Nothing like Jewish penicillin and a warm back rub in bed.
And checking the date of tinned soup is not a bad idea, humor aside!

Being serious for a minute.

I tend to check the date on items when I go grocery shopping (and, I do 90% of the grocery shopping). You would be surprised how some big name retailers have problems with rotating their shelf stock, not to mention the items in the dairy section. I was in a major chain grocery store just last week and found eggs two day past the sell by date and bottled fruit juice with a "Best By Date" of 7/12/17.
I went and found the "manager" and showed him the fruit juice and he said that was the date it was bottled and not the sell by date. I've been working with grocery stores for almost 20 years creating their advertising circulars. I told him he could restock the basket I was pushing because I wasn't shopping at his store anymore.
For the record. Aging cigars, pipe tobacco and wine is good. Aging cheese and some beef before it goes to the market is good. Keeping dairy products and grocery products on the shelf beyond the sell by or best by dates is not good.

After long years of working with the public, pappy', the first rule is always, no B.S. I presume the grocery manager learned that or moved on to used cars.

And here I clicked thinking Steve needed help moving those pallets of money that were overflowing his garage and basement after last month's McClelland frenzy. (After all, he had almost a DOZEN of them listed, some over a MONTH old).
But nah, he was just confused and wanted to fill his pipe with some soup. a.k.a. another normal day for us old guys. :lol:

Meh, no worries.
Now...I may start to worry if you start describing your soup having nutty overtones with hints of chocolate and anise.
