A woman in Tennessee claims that her 89-year old mother found a
mouse in a can of Campbell's Bean and Bacon soup. Campbell's representatives say that they would like to examine
the mouse and the can in question, both of which have been stored by the family who made the allegations. The company
says that it is unlikely that a mouse could have gotten into the very rigidly monitored packaging system at their
plant. Casting further doubts on the legitimacy of the claim is the fact that the woman's mother reportedly ate some of
the soup before noticing that there was a mouse in the can.
To give you an idea of the sizes, though the article does not specifically state what size can of soup the woman purchased, a regular sized can of Campbell's soup is 10.5-ounces and an adult mouse is about 1-ounce. The woman must have been eating directly from the can, as she would mostly likely have seen the mouse (if it was, in fact, in the can) had she decanted the soup.

Not necessarily. Having had Campbell's Bean and Bacon Soup before, I can tell you that it's a solid tube of paste when it comes out of the can. Think canned cranberry sauce, only opaque. If she didn't do a thorough job of mixing the paste into the water you're supposed to add, the mouse could have been hiding beneath the surface. (Cue the music from Jaws here.) Not that I would vouch for them or anything.
