I had a funny experience with this app tonight. I was going through the cans of soup, looking for something other than Chicken Noodle. Finally, I found a large can which Goggles said was Cambell's Clam Chowder , so I popped it open and poured it into a pot.
It was actually Chunky Chicken Noodle. According to my wife, we have never has a can of clam chowder in the house.
