Campbell's soup has been an American household name for over a century. This documentary reveals how the company rose to fame thanks to the ingenuity and tenacity of John (Jack) Dorrance, who found a way to remove the water from canned soup but retain the flavor, thus lowering the cost per unit and making it accessible to the average American. Learn how Dorrance actually lived in Pennsylvania but kept a 2nd house in New Jersey for tax purposes. When he died, the case became famous in US case law. Both states took money from his estate ($14 and $12 million). Because of this, his oldest son Ippy left the US, became an Irish citizen and renounced his US citizenship.
