Sounds like someone wants their profits to drop like a lead…can.
Can do! Gonna do!
Add him to the guillotine list
I actually did purchase a reasonable amount of Campbell’s stocks in the past. (Broth, not company stock)
Won’t be purchasing any more, I’ll pay the bit extra for Maggie Beer stocks instead which as a plus are locally owned.
Won’t be purchasing any Campbells products at all moving forward.
Btw, Maggie is owned by Nestlé which is inarguably one of the most evil corporations in the world.
Its difficult to find non shitty brands because of this parent company situation. I only recently found out about Maggie. No more for me.
You are thinking of Maggi.
Maggie Beer (That’s her name) is a South Australian chef-turned-TV-personality that runs a small foods company.
Maggi is the yellow and red bullion cubes and Maggi arome.
Maggie Beer is a lady.
I’ve just started making my own stock. $5 rotisserie chicken, break it down, whatever isn’t taken off goes into a pot with some mirapoix, garlic, and Tony Chachare’s, boil it down until I can throw most of it in an old pasta sauce jar. Keep everything I filtered out and with the last of the broth I add some rice. it tastes soooo good!
Making your own stock is a great option. It’s cheap and easy but it does take time and planning. I keep a couple jars of Better Than Bouillon in the fridge for quick weeknight dinners where I need some broth/stock. One of chicken and one of beef. It’s cheaper per unit and better most other store bought options. They have bigger jars at Costco, too.
The Navy disagrees with this person’s assessment of soup.
When the people slurp my decadent flavors, will they remember you… solicitors, hidden in a dark tower?
Or will they remember me? Their faithful, pantry pal.
Sucks to hear. On a bender sometimes the only thing I can stomach is tomato soup
The way things have been going lately, I would absolutely love to see Ted Cruz choose this to grow a spine on, and just absolutely goes off on Campbell’s.
The
10,000 roaches in a Rafael suit~ totally normal human Ted Cruz loves CampbellsWhen I married Ted, we got back from our honeymoon, and he went off to the store and came home by himself. And I was completely shocked to see that he arrived back at our apartment with literally 100 cans of Campbell’s Chunky soup. I never bought 100 of anything.
This was shocking to me, so we had a tough conversation about it. I said, “You don’t buy 100 of anything, much less canned soup. We can’t do this. I’ll be making things.” He said, “No, I know you. You won’t be making things.”
So the next morning, it was a weekend morning, I loaded up our car before he woke up and returned every single can. And when I got home, I called my mother just to make sure I’d done the right thing as a newlywed. And she emphatically disagreed with me. And so when Ted opened the pantry, I had to quickly tell him that I would go back and buy those cans again.
It’s just so nice when couples can support each other in their quest to systematically destroy the social safety net of an entire nation. Brings tears to your eyes
What a pack of freaks lol
It’s being boycott hard in Canada, just gave me another reason.
Better not to eat it anyway.
There’s nothing wrong with canned foods due to the canning process, it’s the crap they put in the cans that’s bad for you.
Companies that process food are always looking for ways to increase profit. The cheaper the ingredients–both as raw stock, and the cost of paying workers, shipping, etc.–the higher the profit. It’s no surprise they use literal slave labor in any country where they can get away with it. They know it’s happening, they just don’t care.

I was amazed when Campbell’s came out with their line of low-salt soups. The can was slightly smaller, the soup wasn’t condensed (so you didn’t add a can of water to it), and it cost twice as much. You’re paying over four times as much as normal just for them to not put as much salt in the soup in the first place.
Shame. Whatever happened to corporate integrity?
His predecessor would be spinning in her grave lol
Time to boycott Campbell’s. For this and for their recent illegal dumping scandal. That’s why Campbell soups are urk, urk crap!
Don’t you hate it when there’s a good boycott starting, and you realuze that you’re already boycotting them for a previous atrocity?
Or when the product is already shit and you don’t buy it anyway. Progresso is better.
(Now fully expecting someone to tell me Progresso personally sent bombs to Israel or something.)
I tried Progresso again recently, and it was truly awful. I just make my own soup now. It’s not that hard, I usually just improvise some stuff together from leftovers in the fridge, and it’s always better than anything I can buy. I recently discovered that a spoon of Korean gochujang paste makes any soup tastier and spicier.
Yeah soup is the easiest thing to make. Throw things in a pot inverse to their cook time. Add broth and simmer.
Aka the nestle phenomenon.
Long ago, I looked over Nestle’s brands, and I have chosen alternatives to anything they distribute, and usually they are actually better products. Evil companies tend to let their evil slip into their product quality.
reminds me of my childhood friend, his dad owns a tuna canning company, when i went to visit him at his house the first time, they offered lunch, my gullible mind was expecting fish, they had steak insted, because of course they are rich lol
You can only eat a small amount of tuna due to bioaccumulation of mercury and other junk. Once a month or less.
Sad. I love tuna.
I googled this and found “no more than four cans a week”
They type of tuna matters too. Skipjack tuna should have lower mercury. Also one brand tests for mercury and its called safe something.
I think the maximum recommended amount is more than that, but not substantially. Which is sad because I also love tuna.
I try to get maximum enjoyment out of it by buying the fancy sashimi.
Fuck that asshole, never buying that shit again.
Lol.
Imagine being a SVP at a soup company. I mean it’s THE soup company but still.
Gives me this energy:
They don’t care because they’re rich. Better than the poors.
Soup is bad food.
Thank you for the reminder that The Simpsons was genuinely hilarious at one point lol
I find it extremely funny that news like this is shocking to anyone. If you don’t realize just how awful companies are as a whole at this point then you’re intentionally ignorant. Your favorite brand is an awful, money grubbing machine that will prey on your insecurities, your pride, your hopes or whatever else to get you to buy.
