Not interesting. Dropping "Soup" from the company name as like most big companies these days they own a lot of other things.

yeah not having actually seen any Campbell product outside of art and faux art, I assumed the name of the company was "Campbell" and "Campbell Soup" was something like "MicroSoft Office".

Goldfish? Hannover snacks? Pepperidge Farms?

This is why they dropped the "Soup" from Campbell's Soup Company.

This is pretty interesting, I didn't realize they were that old or independent. It's crazy to see how they managed to own a niche successfully for so long.

Growing up, people with the surname Campbell often got the nickname soup or soupy.

"Legacy food companies like Campbell are pivoting to gain a larger share of the snack narket"

What is "legacy food"??

Legacy (food companies) not (legacy food) companies; I think?

"Legacy" modifies "companies."

I always thought this brand belonged to a big food company, but turns out they're not only independent but doing pretty well too: https://valustox.com/CPB
