The triple point of water at sea level is 0.01 degrees Celsius. This is the point where water, ice and water vapour can exist in equal measure.

I think soup sits at the triple point of food.

Let’s ask some empirical questions. I once worked with some people who had physical disabilities such that food had to be blitzed before eating. One day, we got some McDonald’s, blitzed it up and gave it to them.

Disregarding the initial question as to whether McDonald’s is food to start with, we’ll assume that it is.

Once that Big Mac was blitzed, it was consumed through a straw and immensely enjoyed.

My question is, it was a big mac, drunk through a straw, is it did, drink or soup?

My wife suggests straining it through a sieve, whatever goes through the sieve is soup, whatever is left is food.

I suspect this technique while useful, fails to provide a clear definition of say, gazpacho, for example.

But seriously… Quantum theory states that by observing something you change its nature, you can’t know something’s speed and its direction at the same time. And that if you treat light like a wave it acts like a wave, and if you treat it like a particle it acts like a particle. Cha0tic is saying if you treat soup like a drink it ACTS LIKE A DRINK!

I think what has happened here is that Shouting At Cows has discovered a third category of thing. We used to just have food and drink, ah do you remember those dark days? We thought we knew it all but now… BOOM… Soup is a new category out separate than food and drink. People will talk about this day forever.
