DEF

Of or relating to food that is healthy and especially light and comforting on the digestive system. For example: soup.

CONT

That scene sparked the image the company has been using ever since: Campbell's is good food that's comforting. ('cuddle-tum food, instead of nervous food like salad,' is how Hume puts it).

OBS

Formation: cuddle (verb): to hug affectionately; tummy (noun): colloq. stomach. "Tum" seems to be an abbreviated form of "tummy" but is not found in the dictionary.
