My favorite lunch is soup and a sandwich, but I’m presently on a tight budget, so I’m happy to have a low-cost alternative to fall back on. Canned soups’ prices have escalated recently, so they’re not the bargain as before. I still stock up when they go on sale, …

From first appearances, a box of Marlboro Mediums looks very similar to Marlboro’s trade mark flavor, Reds. Unfortunately, that’s where the similarities end because unlike Reds, Marlboro Mediums are horrible cigarettes.
