In 2020, Progresso had about 90 varieties of soups, but in the early months of the pandemic, General Mills ended production on 40 of those soups.

In the 1960s, the Loma Linda brand created a plant-based soup. With so much plant-based competition in the market, Nuteena dropped off in 2005.

These ready-to-eat puddings debuted in 1968 in small, squat metal cans. The brand moved to the safer but cheaper option of using plastic cups in 1984.

Campbell's Pepper Pot was released in 1899 and was on shelves for over a century. It wasn’t a huge seller and with low demand, they stopped making it in 2010.
