TOW #2 Campbell's Soup Can

            
       
       It is getting closer to that time of the year to start bringing out the comfy sweaters and warm bowls of soup. A can of Campbell’s Mega Noodle condensed soup is on store shelves around the world and one happens to be in my kitchen cupboard. The can itself is all about the soup: picturing a bowl of the soup, detailed nutrition facts and instructions on how to make the soup. A can of Mega Noodle is not just simply a can of chicken noodle soup, but rather a can of chicken noodle soup with three different pasta shapes! The can appeals to a younger audience the font is extremely large in an assortment of colors. The front of the can is used to draw in the children wanting to buy it but the can also appeals to another audience, which are the parents of the children. On the can there is a huge part of the label dedicated to nutritional facts all of which lean towards the suggestion that the soup is healthy, which causes parents to buy the soup. The purpose of the can of Campbell’s Mega Noodle soup is , simply, to make consumers want to buy it.  Campbell’s has been an established company since 1869 and while the label does not have a specific author on it is known that a branch of the marketing team at Campbell’s designed this specific can label. In order to achieve their purpose the team used the strategy of adding a joke onto the can. The joke appeals to the audiences’ emotions and makes them feel more comfortable which increases the likelihood that they would buy the can of soup. The purpose for the can of soup was achieved in my own opinion; because, obviously, I bought it and it is in my own kitchen cupboard. Looking at the can actually makes me want to go make myself a nice bowl of Campbell’s Mega Noodle soup.


Joke on the can: Where do Snowmen keep their money?


Answer: A Snow Bank!!!
