"does not fit with the company's focus on healthy, down-home foods"

Since when is sodium-drenched Campbell soup considered healthy or down-home?

[squidly]

Funny how in this day and age, about the only time I see the words decadent or sinful used is with respect to desserts and sweets.

[Revolting cat!]

It don’t fit with their focus on junk food! Geez!

[Fatuncle]

It's for sale?? Holy --! Let me check my pockets! Forty cents? Forty cents?!?

Damnation, the opportunity of a lifetime, and I pissed it away at McDonald's!

[Shelayne]

Mmmmm, Godiva chocolates.

Now that’s what I call “mmm mmm good”. Sorry, Campbells.

History Godiva Chocolatier http://www.godivacareers.com/history.asp

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

That Godiva chocolate ice cream is to kill for... the white chocolate rasberry was the best...

[mamelukesabre]

Not only that, they are bragging up their V8 juices. You ever read the labels on those? Drink two and you got your sodium intake for a day and a half.

When I want something healthy, I boil my own veggies, and maybe drop in a ham hock. If I wanna splurge, I’ll use ground beef.

[JACKRUSSELL]

I’d be willing to bet that the ingredients they use for their juices come mostly from China.

[monkapotamus]

Yum. I just sent their dark chocolate to my best girl-pal.

[grjr21]

The company could put money toward its planned entry into the soup business in mainland China and Russia

 

That sounds much healthier than Belgium Chocolates </SARC>

[SkyDancer]

Chocolate is more healthy than Campbell soups ... where’s the chicken????????

[6323cd]

I can feel the calories forming a conga line and sliding down my backbone, just looking at that pic.

[Cicero]

When I was a kid I drank Campbell’s soup, but now I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole.

Godiva is a quality product.

[SuziQ]

*drool*

[LibFreeOrDie]

Godiva chocolates really aren’t that good. They’re mass-produced, like Hersheys. Find a local chocolatier that does small, handmade batches.

[relictele]

Campbell Soup Co. is putting Godiva up for sale, saying the decadent Belgium chocolate does not fit with the company's focus on healthy, down-home foods.

Healthy - like the Chicken Noodle soup with a week's worth of sodium/salt?

[Grizzled Bear]

Monk,

Ya gotta knock it off! You’re driving the FReeper Ladies insane!

[Shelayne]

Yummmmmmm.
