Was Mats Sundin in soup commercials?

[frightenedinmatenum2]

Circa the early 2000s, was he in soup commercials where people would taunt him about his relationship with his mother?

I remember these playing constantly at 3PM-4PM after school. But I am not sure if it is a false memory because I don't remember Mats being a big crossover celebrity like an Austin Matthews is now.

I looked them up on YouTube today and couldn't find them, so I'm doubting myself. The big tagline was Mats your mommy is calling you. Was this a Mandela effect?

These were on at the same time as the Lays marketing campaign where Mark Messier taunts people about their obesity. That might send some light.

That is promising but it could be a deep fake.

Does anybody have any of the commercials on VHS that they could upload? I'm shocked that they aren't online.

Googling to find the videos, I just came across this. A legitimate hockey reporter looking for the commercials. So I am starting to think you guys are right and I didn't just imagine this.

How are these not online? Who would I contact to find these and get them uploaded?

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I have taken the time to create a form letter. If you guys could DM Campbells Soup the form letter, and enough of us do it, I think we could get them to upload the videos.

You can feel free to write your own letter, but this might make it easier. I tried to stay strictly professional and let them know how passionate we are about the commercials but not to pressure them or anything.

Dear Campbell Soup Company,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express a heartfelt request regarding a series of commercials from the early 2000s that have become an unforgettable part of my personal and cultural landscape. Specifically, I am referring to the beloved campaign featuring the iconic Mats Sundin of the Toronto Maple Leafs and his mother. As a passionate fan of both hockey and Campbell's products, these advertisements hold a special place in my heart.

The bond between Mats and his mother, so beautifully depicted in these commercials, transcended the traditional confines of marketing and became a touching reflection of family, care, and the spirit of Canada. The heartwarming narrative, paired with the comforting image of Campbell’s Soup, became a perfect blend of brand and culture. As a proud Canadian, I consider these commercials not just advertisements but vital artifacts that speak to the deep connections Canadians have with their families, sports heroes, and the comfort of familiar, home-cooked meals.

I am sure you will appreciate the cultural value these ads represent, and I believe it would be a tremendous gesture of goodwill and pride if Campbell's could make these commercials available to the public once again—whether through online platforms, YouTube, or as part of a special commemorative release. With such an enduring emotional connection to these ads, I know that many Canadians, especially those of my generation, would be thrilled to relive these moments and share them with future generations.

As a dedicated consumer of Campbell’s products—whether it be the iconic Campbell's Chunky Soup, Swanson broths, V8 juices, or your many other outstanding offerings—I have always believed in the quality and integrity of your brand. My loyalty to your products is unwavering, and I truly believe that Campbell’s continues to be a cornerstone of Canadian homes. However, it would be unfortunate if the company were to overlook this opportunity to connect with a deeply loyal customer base in such a meaningful way.

I trust you will give this request the serious consideration it deserves, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. It would be a shame, after all, if this small gesture—one that could only enhance the goodwill Campbell’s has already built—left unfulfilled lead to a boycott. Not that I would start a boycott—but I could see how that might accidentally happen, if the commercials weren't uploaded to a popular video site and shared so they could be enjoyed.

Thank you for your time, your consideration, and for continuing to provide Canadians with products that are both nourishing and deeply ingrained in our culture. I eagerly await your response.

Warm regards,

Now can you get Royale and Cottonelle to fix their toilet paper so you don’t have to pick at it to get it started? (Let’s see if anyone gets this reference.)

You haven't taken the time, you used ChatGPT.

God I'm so sick of ChatGPT content.

Something tells me this character would poke his fingers through any toilet paper wiping his own ass.

Dear Mats Sundin,

Dear Mats Sundin

Has anyone gone to one of these book signings? I'm about to meet my hero tomorrow, just wondering if there's any heads up there. Went to the one at Eaton Center Indigo. Don't expect to talk to him for long, they moved people pretty quickly and to their credit it was fairly organized and...

forums.hfboards.com

Did you like that chunky soup? I like soup too! Wow, we're best friends now! Cool.

Pretty sure that's what I said to make him laugh, and yet I don't remember a single word we spoke. Star struck I guess.

 

[Kryten]

Theres your Mandela effect. Mats is bald in this universe

 

[johan f]

He did some hockey related comercials that got big publicity. I just read his book and I interprete some of what he writes as he was both well known and popular.

 

[zar]

“Maaaaats… your soup is ready!”

“Maaaaats… your mom is calling you!

Yes, Campbell’s Chunky Soup, 1990s.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I remember eating Wayne Gretzky Pro Star cereal when I was a kid,

And also remember.................something else.....

Right, Wayne Gretzky doing McDonald's Crispy Chicken Deluxe.

 

[Cursed Lemon]

I'm hijacking this thread to put a bounty out for the pickup truck commercial with Chris Pronger and Jiri Fischer being used as crash test dummies, getting out of the truck, then saying "eh, I've been hit harder" "yeah, me too"

 

[Wry n Ginger]

That is promising but it could be a deep fake.

The...whatthef***youonaboutnow?

You remembering Sundin in the commercial is a glitch. It was actually David Hasselhoff. The concept was created when Campbells soup was going to introduce a variation on the German soup kartoffelsuppe and were trying use Hasselhoff's popularity as a rock music star in Germany at the time. The concept was deemed a failure when the marketing team at Campbells realized that Hasselhoff, potatoes and Germans all suck major ass. (I kid! I love potatoes...)


Germans seem fine as well. I honestly just don't know any.
