One of the country’s most iconic brands is dropping ‘part’ of its name?
Campbell Soup Company is dropping “soup” from its official name – after 155 years!
So, it wants to be known as “The Campbell’s Company.”
Corporate leaders say there’s more to Campbell these days than just soup, and that soup is now a smaller part of the company’s sales. The Campbell Company owns a variety of items (beyond soup) including Goldfish, Pepperidge Farm and Snyder’s of Hanover.https://www.foxcarolina.com/2024/09/11/campbell-soup-plans-change-its-name-after-155-years/?

Jim Daly with Focus on the Family is responding to ‘abortion misinformation’ that was presented during Tuesday night’s President debate…
“Nearly 60 million people tuned into last night’s presidential debate in Philadelphia between Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democrat nominee, and former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate.
But what I’m writing to you about today is about neither political candidates nor political parties. Not even the Election. I’m reaching out to you about abortion and our ongoing quest to save preborn babies.
One of the more pointed parts of last night’s exchange involved the now half-century plus debate over the sanctity of life. Specifically, ABC moderator Linsey Davis erroneously stated, “There is no state in this country where it is legal to kill a baby after it’s born.”
Ms. Davis is mistaken. Babies who are born after failed abortions have been legally abandoned and have died. That’s infanticide. Earlier today, I reached out to Almin Karamehmedovic, the president of ABC News, and requested the network issue an immediate correction…”
