The Golden Vegetable soup that wasn't

I recently bought a tin of Golden Vegetable soup but was disappointed to find no golden vegetable inside. I chose that particular soup because it was only £1 and I thought I’d be able to extract the golden vegetable and sell it on, making a bit of money in the process.

Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the label had been lying all along. In fact all the vegetables were green and orange. Discovering a huge golden turnip was unlikely, given the size of the tin, but I didn’t think I was being unreasonable in expecting at least a golden carrot.
