I mean, you're the weirdo accepting random liquids from someone.

Maybe they know each other super well and she trusts him implicitly

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 14 points 4 days ago

And they wouldn't know about their crippling addiction to soup?

Not a chance

I mean' it was in a flask

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 37 points 5 days ago (2 children)

fuck yeah thats the best soup

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Broccoli soups are the best. I'll take any, but Cream of Broccoli is incredible.

Recipe or it didn't happen

While I love the idea of a flask of soup, how da fuk do you get broccoli cheddar into a flask! When I have used them, I can barely get alcohol into the flask with the tiny funnel without alcohol abusing the counter?!?!

[–] notabot@piefed.social 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ok, you start by fabricating a funnel that screws to the neck of the flask. It's a bit of time on the lathe, but you only need to do it once.

Attach the funnel to the flask, and fill it with you soup of choice. Then place the entire contraption in your vacuum chamber and pump it down, slowly, to the lowest pressure it'll manage. Don't go quickly, or the soup will bubble out of the funnel, unless you made it particularly deep. Once you've evacuated the flask, and let the soup settle back down in the funnel, bring the pressure back up. At that point, the vacuum will suck the soup in to the flask. Once you're back up to ambient pressure, detach the funnel, give the flask a wipe, close it and go about your day with a loaded soup flask.

Simple really.

This is absolutely the engineering solution that calls to me...But if the viscosity is so think it requires a vacuum of pull it in, does it need an exit mechanism?

[–] notabot@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's a very good point. The problem with your average hip flask is that it's really quite small, which means there is really not much space inside the flask to work with. The mechanism that springs to mind is the same as you find in a twist-up stick deoderant. Namely, you have a twistable knob on the base of the flask, which rotates a screw which runs up the centre of the flask. Mounted on the screw, inside the body of the flask, is a plate which, due to the geometry of the flask, can't rotate, and will thus be forced to move up and down. Whilst ensuring the reliability of the seals may take some experimental work, this woild allow the user to retrieve the soup simply by twisting the knob, thereby compressing the soup, causing it to exit via the neck of the flask.

Soup delivery system using a deodorant stick 'bottle'.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 26 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You could dilute the broccoli cheddar soup with a lot of vodka.

[–] ravenaspiring@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago

Not that we are voting, but 👆 is very flask like and so far my favorite.

[–] qupada@fedia.io 14 points 5 days ago

Step 1: blender

Step 2: ???

Step 3: profit

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They build the flask around the soup.

[–] ravenaspiring@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

The philosopher answer!

[–] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 26 points 5 days ago

Let me tell you, this got a genuine lol approximating the same amount of shock she must have felt. Well played, author, well played

[–] recursivethinking@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Every non-empty flask contains both soup and liquor until you take a sip.

*spit* i ordered french onion

[–] Deconceptualist@leminal.space 3 points 5 days ago

This one always makes me giggle.
