17 but I don't agree with some of them :P

I really don't think blue and yellow are on Campbell's soup labels- I know the top is red bottom white, whith black trim and gold in the seal in the middle, but I absolutely can't picture any other colors- and upon doing a google image search, I don't see them on the front of the can, either.

and I just checked my fans- one is in fact clockwise but the other is counterclockwise :P

Yeah, that question is iffy...

I didn't take the quiz because I already know the answers... It was published in our paper about 4 or 5 years ago.

no it doesn't- the "classic" labels were all the same- the newer ones have a blue ribbon type thing in the middle and the soup- but the original ones were only red and white with the black and gold.

I would call it more of a discussion, not that the term really matters...

it's a matter of whether or not the answers are accurate.

and why not discuss it? is there any harm in that? got any better ideas for a topic within this thread?
