"There's some 2,400 year old soup left...
...
...Eat it?
-> Yes
You decided to eat the old soup.
Your Courage increased! ... However, you don't feel so good and decide to go to bed."

Mad props, and a (newly made) cookie to anyone who knows the reference!

On topic though, I wonder how that soup smelled

Thank you Critical Miss.
Cookie please!

No cookie for wrong answers! The game it's from isn't that old! D:

I love how the Escapist is a gaming/tech site but sometimes we get these kinda off-topic but funny articles about the most randomest stuff

Serve me up a bowl! I'm hungry and I don't care if it is over 2000 years old!

The Qin Emperor was also a mad bastard that had most of the smart people in China put to death and drank quicksilver so he could live for ever.

It didn't work...

Not much different from the first emperor of Communist China then.

Also, I'm disappointed that they didn't tell us if the soup was at least edible. Never assume. I just threw away cookie dough with raw eggs that had been in my fridge for 2 weeks. It was a very sad occasion. There's people starving in Africa, and these scientists are throwing away perfectly good food. Intellectuals these days...

sounds akin to the pots of preserved honey in eygpt except that you could still eat the honey

or those Incan potatoes...


Really damn cool, if you ask me.

I would laugh if it were actually an ancient chinese chamber pot.....and the green stuff inside, well it could be soup. Just not the same kind they're thinking of.

Kind of interesting to think that this one bowl of soup has been around for the rise and fall of hundreds of nations, outlasted the roman empire itself, is older then Christ, and has survived every war since the invention of gunpowder.......

And you want to drink his soup, do you?...

Wow. 2,400 year old soup, that's almost as old as the stuff in the back of my refrigerator.

Funny how we can extrapolate the eating and cooking habits of a thousands-year old civilisation by the contents of one bowl of soup.
