I wonder how it would compare with this:

Oh my goodness, I remember those! Miss them!
There’s only one, and it has been on my mind for decades.
It was called the Rainforest Crunch Bar, and was the second sugary food I discovered that I really liked (the first was Reese’s Pieces). Cashew & Brasil Nut Brittle … what a treat.
Ben & Jerry’s even had a pint of it, but I wasn’t eating ice cream then:/

My favorite.
You cannot find canned consommé Madrilène anywhere now. Both C&B and Pepperidge Farm made it. I liked Pepperidge Farm’s Hunter’s soup and Chicken Curry soup.

Same. Tried the zebra cake with imposter cookies - terrible mush!

No, I used it as a “cream of fill in the blank soup” additive when making anything with a green chile sauce. Mostly I don’t use them, but this was different.

I’m going to go on a hunt for this- thanks for the link.
Flicks… I used to get those tubes in my Christmas stocking 60 years ago.

Me, too! If I was really lucky I could buy a tube (always the metallic blue one) at the Speedee Mart for a dime. I have no idea how many a ‘flicks’ were in a tube, but they went fast!

I recall a PF black bean soup that dad really liked and I think it was their Manhattan style clam chowder that I liked. Salt bombs, for sure!
How could I forget Mrs. Paul’s (deviled) crab balls? I know I’ve mentioned that in a few threads. The package came with a little relish packet that you could make a tartar sauce with.

Sigh. Most good soups are. sheds a tear. I don’t go without, just factor it in to the daily allowance and go no-salt on other things.

Pepperidge Farms was acquired by Campbells Soup Co in 1961 and is still part of Campbells. Presumably at some point they decided to put out a line of high end soups and sell them under the PF name. For whatever reason they stopped doing that, but the bottom line is that PF soup was actually Campbells soup. CS has many well-known brands in addition to PF including Cape Cod and Kettle brand chips, Snyders of Hanover, Pace Salsa, Prego, and numerous others.

I know they were owned by Campbells. Campbells has tried to market other “high end” soups since then, all without success. Some came in pouches.
