Campbell's soup

Iconic red label

Campbell's soup is canned soup produced by the Campbell Soup Company, an American brand so ubiquitous it became synonymous with convenience food in the twentieth century.

Andy Warhol's 1962 paintings of Campbell's soup cans transformed the familiar red-and-white label into an icon of pop art, commenting on mass production and consumer culture.

The brand name now evokes both nostalgic comfort food and commodified Americana.
