'''Goldfish''' are [[United States|American]] snack [[Cracker (food)|crackers]] manufactured by the [[Campbell Soup Company]] and marketed under the [[Pepperidge Farm]] brand. The crackers come in several flavors and are shaped and colored like small, cartoonish [[goldfish]]. Approximately half of the crackers have smiles, while the others lack any expression. Advertising emphasizes this by referring to the crackers with the registered trademark " The snack that smiles back! Goldfish!". Even though not fat-free, Goldfish contain zero grams of [[trans fat]] and are touted as an alternative to [[potato chips]] since they are baked instead of fried. Campbell's focuses its marketing on kids and sells plastic, goldfish-shaped snack caddies designed to carry a handful of the small snacks.
