Campbell's - Bigger Than You Know

Campbell's is well known for their soups but that's only about a quarter of their business. This video talks about the various other brands they've owned over the years that we don't typically associate with them.

I don't know., it's hard to say. People's preferences change over time. I really feel like Campbell's was a lot more relevant 2 decades ago, at least their soup. Same with companies like Kraft-Heinz.

They've tried to create a whole bunch of new soup lines over the years, but I respect that they've never changed their existing core products at all, not even the packaging. There are companies out there that could really learn from that.

[@singletona082]

Agreed. Even if only from a cynical standpoint that existing market exists. Don't axe the known working good while diversifying, especially if the new product turns out to be shit. The 'chunky' and 'progresso' soupes are actually pretty good, but c'mon. Red/white can. Not the best thing i nth world, but hot chicken soup, vegetable beef, hell even their tomato. Good stuff. Plus c'mon. Their Cream of Whatever is a godsend for dish cooking.

There is nothing like a bowl or mug of Campbel'l's tomato soup, a grilled cheese sandwich, on crusty bread and French fries to comfort you through a cold winter day.

Millennial targeted soup just sounds like a bad idea. I don't buy soup because of the age group I'm in I buy soup because I like the flavor. That being said low salt soup is shit.

[@GregNixon]

always been the conundrum is the sodium content in these cans of soup. Low sodium tastes bad so you're kind of damned if you do damned if you don't...

[@LikaLaruku]

They should have targeted middle age & seniors instead. It's more common for them to be on low sodium diets. Children on the other hand have high tollerance for saltiness.

"Franco-American, uh-oh Spaghetti-O's" Growing up if someone said "Uh-oh", someone else would always add "Spaghetti-O's".

I didn't realize it was because Campbells had started the brand.

They still have Franco-American canned gravies. I keep some in my cupboard all the time.

[@NoName-ik2du]

About two decades ago, my sister was born. While in the hospital with my mother, I went off to get a snack down the hall from her room. The hospital had small cups of Campbell's chicken noodle soup that you could heat up in a nearby microwave. I grabbed a cup and heated it up. When it came out, I went to take a bite and noticed the chicken chunk was just a big ol' artery. I started to inspect the other pieces of meat, and they were all the same: Horrifying clumps of arteries and veins. I have no idea what happened to cause that specific soup cup to end up like that, but ever since then I've generally avoided anything with Campbell's branding on it.

Campbell's is a long time military contractor with the United States. True fact.

He even showed me an old supply log copy dating back to World War II which showed the ship he had been assigned to taking on a palette of Campbell's condensed soup cans. Of course, the cans the military get are larger and don't have the familiar red and white civilian labels on it. It makes sense because the cans stay shelf-stable for a long time, making it perfect for a long haul.

DUDE! THIS!!! I've even bought jars of Rao's marinara sauce for people who didn't sound enthusiastic about trying it. I'd come over to their house with a jar and cook up some pasta, then force them to eat it. After they experienced the same epiphany all Rao's fans experience, they understand why I was so persistent. Best. Evar. I've even been to their restaurant in Caesar's Palace! I didn't know it was there until I walked by it and I nearly lost my mind when I came across it. Best day. Evar.

As a Brit, I've got to say, it's often annoyingly hard to find Campbells. It's probably there, but the store usually only has few cans hidden in the corner out of sight in favour of Heinz or own-brand. Those condensed soups aren't the best on their own but are invaluable as a sauce for other dishes.

I built a couple projects for Campbell's n central CA and found out how many venues they were into back then! Same for Post foods! Most people have no clue how really big and diversified these companies are! Gr8 video!

Where is our fan requested video!! "KZbin - Why They're Hated"

[@Ineptsaint44]

I mean we already know why KZbin is hated so it doesn’t make sense to make a vid on it

Disappointed that you didn’t mention Arnotts biscuits…. “In 1997, the Campbell Soup Company of North America, a shareholder of Arnott's since the 1980s, acquired Arnott's in full. Thus, in 1997, Arnott's Biscuits Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Campbell Soup Company. This caused a significant amount of controversy in Australia, based on the desire for such an Australian icon to remain in Australian hands, and a fear that Campbell's would Americanise the products.”

[@TimmyTickle]

Probably because the Arnotts name has no relevance to Americans (other than Tim Tams)

[@paulcanaday-elliott9834]

Campbell’s sold Arnott’s a couple of years ago.

Very good video this week!

[@clairelangevine5909]

So neat to see a video on the company I work for!

[@Cavemanjason]

They will always be known first by their soups. The other acquisitions are like adopted children brought into a common family name. Campbell's may be more than soups, but they will never be anything less than soups.

Maggie’s Salsa used to be my favorite brand of salsa EVER! Then about 10 years ago Campbell’s bought out the company, and promptly shut it down… Aargh! Damn you Campbell’s for taking my favorite salsa away! LOL

Love sharing these vids with my kiddo.

[@alecjones4135]

I've been eating Campbells whenever I'm sick or feeling bad. I think I'll have some tonight. Thanks company man ☺️

[@guspolly]

I seem to remember reading that they came up with the name “Prego” because the original name “Campbell’s pasta sauce” didn’t sell well because people thought it would be soupy.

[@fatssr1783]

Can we get a video about Ollies discount store

[@instaglam7508]

Wow this was interesting and amazing that a lot of these brands we use everyday has been around for a really long time

[@AY-sp4nn]

Great Show!!!!

[@Aristaifly]

Campbell soups are not in Russia. I believe they attempted but failed. I live in Canada now and never tried it either. I don't want to inherit chronic pain that Americans are so used to. And the normal foods is one of the elements to prevent it, IMO.

[@User0000000000000004]

Chronic pain? What in the hell are you talking about? You only "have" chronic pain in order to get drugs from a doctor! You don't really have pain, you just want drugs.

[@Aristaifly]

@@User0000000000000004 why would you voluntarily get into prescribed drugs?

[@Noneofyourbusiness2000]

Cambell's this week and Amazon the last. Everyone knows these are absolutely huge companies. Your titles seem inappropriate.

[@ReaverPrime]

Chunky Soup was a huge part of my childhood. Man I absolutely loved it. Nowadays, I keep a few cans on hand for those occasions when my daughter or I want something quick and don't feel like cooking.

[@jamesslick4790]

6:27 I have that exact model RCA TV! Yes, it works! With an ATSC adapter it gets the modern over the air stations! It's a part of my antique radio collection. I use it to watch 1950's and early 60's TV shows and movies from a 1980 VCR. 👍😊👍

Yo this company is wild. You know who else is wild the company man is wild he be killing it on the videos.

Well done, Sir!

[@roadtripboy]

I love that old picture near the beginning where a crate says: Tabasco Ketchup. They were at least a hundred years ahead of the overly spiced condiment market.

[@grumpywolfgaming]

I live in Oregon and used to have a Pietro's right down the road from my grandmothers house next to the clackamas town center. It actually died sometime in the late 80s/early 90s.

[@ironbear76]

I worked in the security department of campbell’s soup in their Sacramento plant from 1999 to 2002. I was told that the facility was built in 1947 and at one point it was the oldest plant in the USA at that time. It was a large 4 story building that used gravity to bring the stock from from 4th floor to the noodles on the 3rd, to the kettles on the 2nd to be cooked via steam! It would go on to be bottled/canned on the 1st where it would be palletized and sent into the warehouse. One company I noticed you didn’t mention was Liebig. I remember seeing that logo in the front lobby of the building.

[@themagus5906]

The Dorrance family name lives on.....they are based in Camden, NJ. They gave a ton of money to the biggest local hospital, Cooper. Their hospital campus has an entire building named after Dorrance.

[@grayearly3116]

Omg I didn't think he'd actually do it. Cheers mate

[@pamelamays4186]

I didn't know that Campbell's owns or once owned so many food related entities. That snowman commercial is a classic!
