Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans

"75Cents Each"... Target stores throughout the US got a limited amount of these Andy Warhol 50th Aniversary Tomato Soup Cans. Pretty clever marketing. They were selling fast when I grabbed mine, and I overheard a Target store manager saying they were "flying off the shelves". They had a 10 can limit at the store I visited in Long Beach. But for some reason most were pretty damaged. A store worker brought me 2 fresh/unopened cases of the blue color can (which was my favorite) and of 48 cans I found 2 clean ones where the label wasn't ripped and can wasn't dented. An odd flaw in manufacturing. But it makes having a clean/mint/perfect set even rarer. Classic Warhol Quotes on the backside.
