So does that kind of alphabetical egalitarianism occur at a per batch or per can level? You could make every effort to ensure the latest 500 gallon batch has the correct letters but how do you do the same for every can? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted:
Companies that make alphabet soup should have 26 extrusion machines, each making one letter of the alphabet. However, have you ever considered the idea that the soup companies are cutting costs by only having 25 machines? Maybe they are using the "M" machine to also make the "W". So in a sense there are no true "W"s in the soup, just upside down "M"s. On the other hand maybe they can not do this, since the M machine is making two letters to the other machines one, the M machine would have to run twice as fast to keep up. So at full production when all the machines are at top speed the M machine could not possibly keep up. Add to the fact that the M machine would run twice as many letters than the rest in a given time period, the M machine would wear out faster. So maybe there is no real cost advantage to using the M to make both M & W letters. Although the extra wear and tear on the M machine maybe offset by the cost savings of not having to buy a W machine.  That's an interesting idea, but let me throw out another: If the Alphabet Soup companies were intent on serving the consumer rather than needlessly aggrandizing their stockholders, they'd issue many more vowels than they do today. Instead of a representative set of letters that truly reflect the society they purport to serve (and its norms) they perpetuate a stilted version of language and its constituent parts that does not at all represent the populace as a whole. They pass this on to us in a broth of scurrilousness and expect us to consume it as a wholesome meal. We, as a people, should demand that the letters employed represent the letters available and accept no lesser goal. There is no excuse for this behavior other than the lazy perpetuation of existing norms despite clear cultural demands for change. I like chicken soup without alphabet letters, FWIW. 
So does that kind of alphabetical egalitarianism occur at a per batch or per can level? You could make every effort to ensure the latest 500 gallon batch has the correct letters but how do you do the same for every can? It must be per serving. Each serving should represent the historical makeup of the community it serves. Equal distribution is only meaningful if it demonstrates equal distribution on the local level. To do otherwise supports inequality and all that it represents. |

It's most likely a die with the 26 letters on a single machine. They may have multiple lines doing the same thing but it's more than likely a single die setup pushing out the alphabet into a water bath after being chopped to size by rotating blades and then being carried away by a forced water system or water bath and then strained.
That's my guess |

Some very insightful comments and observations were made, and I wish to address them now:
What if it's one machine with a 26 position rotating head. Kind of like a noodle spraying mini gun. A very valid point. Saves space and cost by combining all operations into one machine. The modern CNC equipment makes this seem highly plausible. What if there was just a W machine and no M? I know this is GD however we are trying to have a serious conversation here. Please leave the shenanigans for a less serious matter. You think that's cheaping out? What about the MFers making Spaghetti Os? Spaghetti Os do not exsist on the same plane as alphabet soup. Essentially Spaghetti Os are the alphabet soup for the illiterate. Just an FYI, but that's the guy Christina Hendricks from Mad Men married... has nothing to do with the problem at hand, but you gotta love them big ass boobies.  let me throw out another: If the Alphabet Soup companies were intent on serving the consumer rather than needlessly aggrandizing their stockholders, they'd issue many more vowels than they do today. Interesting thought. Making alphabet soup to the specifc needs of an area's dialect. Of course Alabama would get Spaghetti Os. By using 24 machines and cutting w's in half with an insert. They make it up by making two V's at the same time. The technology to accurately split pasta letters in perfect halves does not exist at this time. Even Orwell didn't have your imagination. No...you use the excess capacity on the "b" "d" machine. Under FDA soup guidelines (FDA 349/1 Sect A-45.2) alphabet soup letters must be capital letters in Comic Sans font. So a B can not be used for a D N's and Z's too! I can't believe I missed that. If I get a Gov't grant you are hired What if there is no machine at all, and all the pasta letters are made by elves? Elf fingers are to short and stubby to form the small intricate letters of the English alphabet Maybe it runs at the same speed as the others, and you are getting shorted M's and W's Those dirty soup slinging bastards!  |

How do you know that there are an equal number of machines making the letters? Has a statistical analysis been conducted to determine if there is an uniform distribution of letters, and if there is not, what are the negative effect on minority groups because of this inequality? What is the long term effects on non-English speakers who utilize languages that contain letters that are unjustly not represented in the can of soup? What kinds of Government grants can be exploited in the name of answering these questions?

You're basing your premise on the concept that the alphabet cartels care about an equal ratio of M and W to other letters. Perhaps they are fine with half the amount of each.
