Yeah, I honestly expected it to be worse. Yeah, the dude says Campbell's for poor people. I'm not poor, but Campbell's Chicken Noodle has always been a comfort food for when I'm sick. Putting it aside, it is supposed to be food for people on budgets, that's the whole idea.

And then he goes on to say that their product is shit. I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, if you're saying it with the idea that maybe the product should get unucked, which I can't tell from the limited passages and my near-midnight cognition.

The part about fucking Indians, obviously racist, but I'm also not sure what it means. Being from the US, it feels to me like Campbell's outsourced production or some service to India and is reaping what they sowed, so to speak, with decline in product quality?

Perhaps it's an awakening for Campbell's soup, and with a shithead VP's tirade comes a rebirth of cheap soup for the non-rich (which will be all of us soon enough).

I also think the canned goods market in general just isn't what it was when it was first introduced. We had nonperishable goods in a can. We've replaced the need for the nonperishables with access to fresh foods (yes, I understand not for everyone), and canned goods have taken a hit. It doesn't help that the price of anything in a can (looking at you seltzer) is straight up double what it used to be. I used to get four 12-packs of seltzer for 8.88. Now, three for 10 is the best deal there is. And that's because you can't really skimp and water down the quality of seltzer, because its about as basic as it gets, versus canned soups where you can apparently 3D print meat (paraphrasing) to save money.
