This article sounds like it was written by Campbell's.

=D

I took out a lot of the pro-Campbell's bias. And I fixed the grammar and spelling errors that I could find. It looks a lot better, but it still only talks about Campbell's. Yes, I know there's one sentence where it mentions Progresso and Healthy Choice, but that's all it is: one sentence! It needs more than one section. It needs more pictures - with more than one brand. It shouldn't talk about the history of Campbell's; it should talk about the history of canned soup. Plus it should have references. We don't know where this information came from.

And I think it should mention the rivalry between Progresso and Campbell's. You know, how Progresso would badmouth Campbell's in its commercials as "Condensed" and Campbell's would call Progresso "Blue Can"? Knightskye 19:58, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, indeed, still sounds like advertising. I would like to see more about what's out there today (a history of soup is fine, but move on) in terms of brands, generics, store brands. And as long as Campbell's is getting so much press, let's discuss how they have for years now been consistently *shrinking* the size of their cans even as they raised their prices (monopolistic practices, only able to do it because there's no real competition).

It still reeks of adspeak. Also, is the image of Warhol's Campbell can necessary? Surely we can find a better one. -Plasticbadge (talk) 16:09, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I pruned it quite a bit. It's shorter now but I got rid of the campbell's bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.78.236 (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
