Same brand of soup, but one soup package has a slightly different shape and a different folding.
I was so busy comparing the labels that I didn’t even notice.
Took me way too long to find the difference.
My guess is it’s just a different lot/ facility that makes the one
Or they’re switching packaging, and one is selling less / more than the others so is from the older / new packaging.
You’re right.
These soups are only produced in one place: Arla Foods Esbjerg, Denmark, and they’re only sold on the Swedish market.
Arla works with both packaging manufacturers SIG and Tetra Pak from Switzerland and Sweden respectively.
There’s been many changes to Arla’s packaging designs during the last few years, because they pledged to make 100% recycable packaging by 2025.
SIG like the arms manufacturer?
Sort of, yes, but not anymore. SIG Holding sold SIG Sauer in 1999.
Thought this was Mildly Annoying, and I would have agreed. As a retail stocker, the shelf expects them to all be the same, but the one that’s a slightly different shape usually doesn’t fit as many as the rest. It’s even worse when companies decide to change the packaging for the same product, like Stouffers, and I have to spend an extra five seconds determining if the items are the same or aren’t.
The oat milk I usually buy from Aldi does this. They change the packiging type every few months.
That’s probably because Aldi is buying it from several different producers (processors, packagers, or bottlers. Not sure the appropriate title) that apply Aldi’s branding (or whomever) to the package.
Ah and so the SIG, Tetrapak war still wages on
It’s actually a cost thing, SIG usually comes in to a much lower installation and running cost, where Tetrapak is aseptic and has a longer shelf life.
Does SIG make a Legion version of soup too?
They only pack it

That thai soup is so good, got a nice kick of heat to it.
I’m just surprised that the colour theme of Forest Mushroom Soup is Concrete Garage by Fluorescent Light. Not really my association to forest mushroom.

You guys use deci liter?
Very common with liquid food in Sweden. We also use hectogram for weighing solid food, e. g. if you’re buying meat.
Hg used to be the standard unit for buying candy by weight as well, but they switched around 20 years ago iirc
Naturally, it’s a pretty convenient fraction of a liter to be working with while cooking.

I find ml much more useful than dl.
Both have their place, and since they are so straight-forward to convert between, there’s no need to limit ourselves to one or the other.
True but if I have the option, I prefer ml. I find it more straightforward to convert between ml and l.
To me it aint like mm, m and kmYou have to move the decimal more. It can tire you faster.
