[QUOTE="Heatherthepackgirl, post: 110542, member: 416"] Hot soup and frozen tundra are turning out to be an unbeatable team. 78663Soup Contest Recent Coverage 11/16/06: Packers leading Chunky race 10/26/06: Packers go for fifth title ... in soup Advertisement Green Bay Packers fans - for the fifth consecutive year - have won Campbell Soup Co.'s annual "Click for Cans" contest, in which online voters back their favorite National Football League team to earn cans of Chunky soup for local food pantries. The winning team gets enough soup to equal the total weight of its players. In the Packers' case, that's more than 13,000 pounds. Packers fans blitzed Campbell's special Web site and clicked the Packers logo 958,023 times in the two-month voting period that ended at midnight Friday, crushing the runner-up Indianapolis Colts fans by more than 242,000 votes. In football terms, it was a blowout. As a result, Campbell's will be shipping about 13,200 cans of soup to the Packers, who plan to distribute it statewide this winter, said Cathy Dworak, community relations manager for the Packers. Although the Packers have distributed the soup only in Green Bay in the past, this year, the cans will be distributed to major food pantries all over the state, Dworak said. She said the team will figure out when and how to do that after the football season. A winning record Dworak said the Packers' success in the soup drive probably has something to do with the ubiquitous nature of fans. "We have them all over the United States and even outside the U.S.," Dworak said. It didn't hurt, either, that the Packers had a link on the team's Web site - one of the most-viewed of any NFL franchise - to the contest. More rewards Campbell's also awards the team with the most-improved number of clicks this year - the Colts - with 2,006 cans of Chunky soup. In all, more than 5.8 million votes were cast among the 32 teams. Asked whether the Packers could ever be dethroned, Campbell's spokesman John Faulkner said: "I'd be hard-pressed to bet against them. They've got a track record of success in this contest that's hard to beat now." [/QUOTE]
