VINTAGE 1961 CAMPBELL'S PORK & BEANS COMMERCIAL (BEANS, BEANS THE MAGICAL FRUIT ......) 

The mor you toot, the better you feel So eat your beans with every meal!

I thought I had once seen that concluding portion of the Franco-American spaghetti bib offer video (with Jon Provost as "Timmy" from "Lassie") somewhere on RU-vid. Of course that promotional campaign is long ago ended, plus that there is no more Franco-American line of food products from the Campbell Soup Company. Now, some of the foods which were once "Franco-American" and are still manufactured just use the parent company name of Campbell's. So it's ''Campbell's Spaghetti O's,'' for example. Campbell's also still manufactures a plain spaghetti product, but no more spaghetti with meatballs with the long thin pasta. For pasta with meatballs products from Campbell's, one would have to purchase either Spaghetti O's with Meatballs or "Raviolios," another product which had been in the now-defunct Franco-American line. And Campbell's also still manufactures the Spaghetti O's with Franks (sliced hot dogs) product, as well Campbell's A t Z's and A to Z's with Meatballs, similar to Spaghetti O's but with alphabet-shaped pasta. But Chef Boyardee still manufactures traditional spaghetti and meatballs product, as well its lasagna with meat sauce and a Mini Pasta Shells & Meatballs, plus its long-popular Beefaroni (elbow pasta with beef in tomato sauce) and ravioli products (beef and cheese in tomato sauce). For a variation on Beefaroni, Chef Boyardee also manufactures Cheesy Burger Macaroni. Chef Boyardee also manufactures a Pasta in Butter Sauce product, with wheel-shaped pasta in a creamy butter sauce. And Chef Boyardee offers a Lasagna Dinner Kit and two pizza-making kits, ''Chef Boyardee Pizza Kit'' with ingredients for making crust, plus cheese and sauce, and ''Chef Boyardee Pizza Maker,'' which includes crust mix and sauce, but lets the customer choose her/his own mozzarella and other toppings. Campbell's also no longer manufactures macaroni and cheese, its former version of which had long broad noodles in a creamy white cheddar cheese sauce. The only canned mac & cheese one may now purchase is manufactured by Chef Boyardee, which has elbow-shaped pasta in a yellow cheddar cheese sauce.
