OK, I've got to ask.

Kim, what bizarre train of logic led to pea soup in the medicine cabinet?

It was very simple, although it's late enough that I might not be able to explain well. Think dorm room. Assorted stuff, very little of which is food, because I was on the meal plan. Relatively little room/sorted storage space given amount of stuff. Can of Campbell's pea soup (and I think a can of chicken noodle) bought as comfort food/food over spring break (don't remember which). They hung around for a while. No defined storage place for small amount of stuff like that, but would be nice to find again and easily. Comfort food, doncha know. Soup is liquid, and Campbell's protopeasoup substance is often unnervingly liquid-packed. It's certainly the sort of thing which is packaged to prevent it from leaking onto other things. This clearly makes it a bathroom thing, in a general sorting sense. (Remember, I don't have a slot for food things.) The room in question was a double with its own sink connected to its mirror image by a toilet/shower bathroom. Bathroom stuff goes in the bathroom (no), under the sink (that's where the icky dank stuff goes, so no), on the sides of the sink (perpetually running out of space and getting in the way, so a low-traffic item like soup cans being saved for months shouldn't go there), or in the mirrored cabinet above the sink.

That makes perfect sense.
