In 1953, the Hormel Company wanted to capitalize on this trend and attached over 5 million wool felt 4 x 9 inch pennants representing 95 different universities to their soup cans using rubber bands (seriously!).\u003cbr\u003eOnce advertised in comic books and at grocery stores, very few of these special collectibles remain today.
