Campbell's Soup Cans!

My collection!

Whenever I go to the Big Apple, I buy a can of Campbell Soup, each time picking a different variety amongst the many available on the market.

I started this "tradition" becasue I like some of the pop art work made by Andy Warhol, and in particular the Campbell Soup Cans paint.   I bought the first can in 1999, therefore I didn't buy a can in 1992 and neither I did in 2012 when I forgot to buy it.   I could buy two extra cans in one of my next trips, and fix the problem, but... I don't know how fair it would be.

The Real Thing

I went to the MOMA only once, and the Campbell's Soup Cans was one of the main reasons of my visit.  I'll surely go there again in the future, I miss the view of the real thing!

Does it taste good?

Speaking about tastes, I tried the onion soup sold in Italy by Campbell : not bad I could say, but.... like in most of the cases, my mum's home made version tasted better.

2022 Update: Andy Warhol Museum!

I've visited the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh! And I have not seen anything related to my beloved Campbell soup cans... In the whole museum, something like 5 stories of stuff, there is not much about this important subject. I wonder why, it was rather disappointing.
