Campbell Soup Company (CPB) is dropping a key word from its name in a rebrand meant to reflect the culinary variety of its owned brands.

Aside from soup, newly named The Campbell's Company also owns potato chips brands Kettle and Cape Cod, sauce brands Prego and Rao's, and Goldfish crackers, among others. The company said the new moniker is "a name that represents soup...but is so much more."

Campbell's is far from the first company to change its name in a bid to shift customers' perception.
