WE BURNT THE SOUP
![]()
On Friday, September 1st at 12:30 AM, we burn the soup box and celebrate three unphogetable years shared with all of you beautiful nincomsoups. But first, we need your help returning to Burning Man's deep playa for one last time. Shh, it's...
STORY TIME
The SFB story stems from a brief moment many, many years ago, far beyond Black Rock City's Esplanade, on a frigid deep playa evening. There, gazing at the brothtaking sky and discussing the soupernatural, sat our founder, Noodles and his brother, Max. Although initially vibrant and jovial, their topic of discussion soon shifted to the bitter cold air and a desire for simple pleasures.
"I could sure go for a blanket right now. You know, warm me up from the outside in." Max remarked as he shivered in the deepest of deep playa.
"I could go for a bowl of soup to warm me up from the inside out!" Noodles replied.
Now what followed may be the worst idea ever uttered as Max suggested: "How about a bowl of blanket flavored soup?"
In a harsh tone, Noodles replied: "That's sounds disgusting! Who want's to eat soup that tastes like blankets!?"
Hours passed and their situation worsened. But suddenly, a dusty thought shot out of the Man's neon head, blew across the playa, swirled around the temple walls and shot directly into Noodles's noggin as an idea of spectacular brilliance.
"Some Soup Flavored Blankets, now that would be warmly delicious!" He proclaimed.
Max agreed! And the two brothers jumped to their feet, crossed the cold desert floor and returned to camp to procrastinate for seven years.
As veteran burners we understand the significance of your trash fence quest and the sometimes difficult elements you encounter. Soup Flavored Blankets is a warm soupy refuge and our gift to the many wandering souls of Burning Man.

EXPERIENTIAL SOUP FLAVORED BLANKETS
The jumbo-sized inflatable SFB can emits light and serves as a navigational aid for all the weary travelers. Directly across from the soup can exists an equally huge SFB Premium Cracker box. Inside, participants will find an assortment of delicious ready-made soup and hot beverage mixes as well as access to boiling water.
After treating yourself to the hottest soup in Black Rock City, choose a blanket and carefully place your mug of soup into the provided pouch. Begin to wrap your shivering body inside the insulating blanket. You are now comfortably snuggled inside a Soup Flavored Blanket, slurp on wandering souls!
