Commercial for Andersen Split Pea Soup. Animated man walking with a microphone introduces himself as “Robert P. ‘Soup’ Andersen.” He walks over to two men dressed in chef coats and hats standing on a ladder. The men climb up the ladder and stand next to the machine as it sorts peas falling into a funnel. One pea gets rejected. The men come back down the ladder and Robert P. “Soup” Andersen walks and talks into his microphone then opens his jacket to reveal a pocket watch. The two men hold up cans of Andersen soup.
