Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB), also known as Campbell's, is an American producer of canned soups and related products. Campbell's products are sold in 120 countries around the world. It is headquartered in Camden, New Jersey. Campbell's divides itself into three divisions: the simple meals division, which consists largely of soups both condensed and ready-to-serve, the baked snacks division, which consists of Pepperidge Farm, and the health beverage division, which includes V8 juices. Campbell's runs a program for schools, Labels for Education.
The company was started in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell, a fruit merchant, and Abraham Anderson, an icebox manufacturer. They produced canned tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups, condiments, and minced meats.
In 1876 Anderson left the partnership and the company became the "Joseph A. Campbell Preserve Company".
Campbell reorganized into "Joseph Campbell & Co." in 1896. In 1897, John T. Dorrance, a nephew of the general manager Arthur Dorrance, began working for the company at a wage of $7.50 a week. Dorrance, a chemist with degrees from MIT and Göttingen University, Germany, developed a commercially viable method for condensing soup by halving the quantity of its heaviest ingredient: water. He went on to become president of the company from 1914 to 1930, eventually buying out the Campbell family.
I like saying yes and watching you take
I don't need to sleep or eat, I smoke a thousand cigarettes
These days are so nurturing
When you're gone I'll eat and sleep away
My days again
Crazy people are right on, crazy people are right
Crazy people are right on
You're shit soup
And I'm in the reflection booth
Two glass eyes behind
Cheap sunglasses move
Stained-glass gazebo
I really don't know
Our futures are so separate
Bespectacled and desperate
It's not my job to undo
The dying prophecy of you
It's not my job to undo
I like saying yes and watching you take
I don't need to sleep or eat, I smoke a thousand cigarettes
These days are so nurturing
When you're gone I'll eat and sleep away
My days again
Crazy people are right on, crazy people are right
Crazy people are right on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
They're so off they're on
