As you consume your soup, more and more of the little island in the middle is revealed. Comes with a miniature plastic palm tree to insert in a hole in the island and a shipwrecked figure to add to the affect.

edit.... obviously the effect is greatly enhanced if someone were to devise a type of azure blue soup, though a more or less clear broth would be ok too

I can't quit thinking of Tom Hanks portrayal of the shipwrecked guy on the deserted island with nothing but Wilson (a deflated basketball) to keep him company. Can you add a battery powered vibrator attachment to simulate a stormy sea? Not enough to eject any Rice Krispies onto the tablecloth, but enough to dash Wilson repeatedly against the rocks? Perhaps have the Tom Hanks action figure on a little spring, swaying pitifully and frantic with worry? No matter... bun [+].

Delux version could have two palm trees and a hammock.

brings to mind my plastic turtle dish from the long ago. If you filled that with soup it would be about the same thing.

You just throw drop a brick on it to get that.

Just film it in high speed, then slow-mo it.

When all the soup is gone, the marooned figure becomes a triumphant mountain climber at the summit of a tropical peak.
