Talk:Franco-American (brand)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We need a more comprehensive and less regionally-informed set of articles on immigration of French-speaking people from Quebec (and Canada more generally) to the United States. Moreover, none of those articles should be found here, though clearly a disambiguation sentence will need to remain and point to some obvious and helpful article. -Acjelen 18:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Franco-American brand is alive and well[edit]

I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but I had to comment.  I work in the shipping department of the Campbell's Soup factory in Sacramento, California.  Campbell's has not completely eliminated the Franco-American brand name from its lineup.  The brand no longer appears on SpaghettiOs or any similar product, but there is a line of gravies that are manufactured and sold under this name.  I've seen them with my own eyes, and handled them with my own hands, and packed them up to be shipped out to our customers.

We also have a small line of condensed soups under the Franco-American name as well.  As far as i can tell, the few varieties of soup we have under this name are essentially the same products as the corresponding products sold under the Campbell's brand.

Who cares about the brandname, call it what you want but what about the spaghetti. That was the best on the market. I grew up on that, I am 63 now and still wish it was available. Sometimes it's better to ask the people before just dumping a good thing. A loyal FA spaghetti — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.191.168.35 (talk) 17:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Date problem[edit]

"SpaghettiO's, first sold 16 May 1965. " but the SpaghettiO's article says "SpaghettiO's, first introduced on 19 October 1965". Which is correct? -- ManekiNeko | Talk 21:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

franco american[edit]

Many years ago; a good 25 to 30 there was a macaroni and cheese put out by franco american, looked like thick long noodles in a cheese sauce. I raised my children on it. And was upset when i could no longer get it. Is it gone and forgotten —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.155.179.210 (talk) 17:28, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  Could this be what you're seeking?

  Alas, we don't seem to sell this through normal retail channels.  I think I've only ever seen this shipped to our food services customers.  I've been told that they primarily use it to stock vending machines.  I bought this can in the company store at the factory where I work.
  All of the old “classic” Franco–American products, that still exist, are now sold under the Campbell's brand, and not the Franco–American brand.  I cannot say, with any confidence, whether or not the Macaroni & Cheese product pictured here is descended from anything formerly sold under the Franco–American brand.  It does seem to have a bit of a “Franco–Americanish” flavor to it, due apparently to the fact that it contains some small amount of tomato sauce among its ingredients; something not normally found in the more traditional macaroni & cheese products.
