"The mid-Movember Mo party is simply the best hour of our year," said the MC of the Campbell's Soup Company mid-month festivities and that is not an exaggeration judging by the turnout. For an hour, employees at Campbell's poured into an auditorium, where it was standing-room only, to enjoy their mid-month Movember Party.
This year, the Men of Campbell celebrated the 36 moustaches that have raised over $18,000 under the fearless follicular leadership of team captain Joshua Rosen. The Men of Campbell take pride in their moustaches and have a great time celebrating their annual growth with an irreverent pageant and display of moustaches. Judges included Mo Bro Eric Christianson who spent the afternoon judging moustaches and heckling the contestants. Okay, they were mostly heckling the contestants, but it was all in good fun.
There was an array of talent, costumes and shenanigans displayed at the event. A moustache-themed Allman Brothers cover band performance with an air guitar solo that would have knocked Burt Reynolds’ moustache off. There was a group of Mo Bros dressed up as beefsteak tomatoes rapping about lycopene (a cancer-fighting ingredient found in ketchup and tomato soup), and a “Dating Game” remake with Mo Bros dressed as Napoleon Dynamite characters: Uncle Rico, Pedro Sanchez, and Kip whose heart was on the mend after a recent breakup with LaFonda all made an appearance as they vied for the heart of a lady participant from the crowd. She put them to the test with a grueling round of provocative questions, like “where is the craziest place you’ve ever made…soup?” (Insert eyebrow raise, wink and nod here.) The big winner at the Men of Campbell party was Mo Bro John McComb’s team that recreated a Pace commercial where a faux horse graced the stage and stole the show. The Mo Bros compete for bragging rights, guts, glory, and some pretty awesome prizes that the Men of Campbell distribute to the winners, but like all Movember competitions, he who has the best moustache really wins.
