Whatever the reason, this confirms I did the right thing.
Oddly enough, California ran Campbell's soupmaking operation out of the state about ten years ago.
Gay men commercial. Add BMW to the list because they have two dudes kissing in their new ad.
Campbell’s went openly ‘gay’ in 2015, with a ‘Johnny Has Two Daddies Who Make Him Soup’ commercial, which p*ssed off the Christian organization, One Million Moms:
“Campbell’s Soup is glorifying this unnatural marriage. One Million Moms believes family is based on love, but this does not justify normalizing sin. 1MM does not agree with the need for Campbell’s to support same sex marriages or couples. Companies should advertise the quality of their products. It is no longer about the product but about their cause. They should not be highlighting who is attracted to whom or who sleeps with whom. This is a marketing decision Campbell’s will regret. This gay-inclusive commercial is attempting to desensitize viewers. There is concern about the way this ad is pushing the LGBT agenda, but an even greater concern is the way that they are attempting to redefine “family” and “real marriage.”
Store-brand canned soup has always been good enough for me and mine...in a pinch. Making homemade soup is SO satisfying; almost a Zen Thing for me. :)
I’m going to start my own campaign: Make America Soup Again! MASA! Has a nice ring to it, LOL!
“I can’t remember why I stopped buying Campbell’s soup a few years ago. “
Most likely, the same reason a huge number of other consumers stopped buying canned goods. A century ago there were few alternatives to canned goods. Now, there are huge numbers of prepared foods that taste better than canned goods; frozen, freeze dried, vacuum packaged, fresh frozen...the list is nearly endless. Thus, consumption of soup, especially very salty soup, like Campbells, has plummeted.
The removed the sodium to make Michelle Obama crowd happy, and so it tastes like crap now... and grossly overpriced at most retailers
I only used Campbell’s cream soups for casseroles, etc. I think their cans got smaller so they don’t always work well with the old recipies.
