Kinda ironic considering their canned soups are usually the most expensive. ( At least here in Canada.)

Exactly why he was fired... dont want to risk a false advertisement lawsuit.

Same in America. Growing up, we ate the store brand, not campbells.

Does it matter which specific product? Over here, their "Chunky" brand that competes with Progresso is expensive (around 3 or 4 dollars a can), but the older basic shit like cream of mushroom or chicken noodle are just a few cents per can.

Here even the basic stuff (cream of mushroom, chicken noodle etc) is quite a bit more expensive than the 'house' brands. I usually avoid them because I don't find they taste any better to warrant the extra cost.

For example Campbells soup (mushroom) is $2.27 a can, vs roughly $1.50 for in house brand.
