About Campbell's
Campbell's condensed soup has been sold in a red and white can since 1898, a colour scheme reportedly taken from Cornell University football uniforms. Andy Warhol's 1962 paintings of the cans made the packaging one of the most recognisable pieces of commercial design of the twentieth century.
