Funny Name: Horrifying Heads Edition

The name of this recipe from Multi-Power Microwave Cooking from Sears (1975, but mine is from the ninth printing, 1978) conjures up images of extra-creepy friends for the already-creepy Campbell's Soup Kids my grandma used to collect:


The Tomato Noggins would be Campbell's Kids whose parents got... uh... a little too friendly with the tomato soup, so their offspring ended up with tomato heads.

Or it could just be tomato juice mixed with condensed beef broth and vodka. Still kind of scary if you ask me.

    Now they make bacon flavored vodka, so you can skip the beef broth and still get a meaty taste. It's up to you if you want to heat the tomato juice first.

      That could warm you up on a cold night! That's just what you need if you've already had snow.

      And we all know antioxidants are on the tops of everyone's mind when they're drinking...
