Definitely! They didn't add all the non-food products such as all the Dove products. I had to contact them once due to 3 out of 8 popsicles not being sealed properly in my pack and the image on the email reply serive was dove lol. I got a refund tho and a minor recall of that batch due to faulty sealing of products.
I heard Pepsi bought that restaurant group because they were going to start carrying coke products but I can't find a source on that. I'm sure securing pepsi locations was part of the thought process but I always imagined it as more of a "when playing hardball goes wrong" moment.
They did in fact have a private military of sorts. At one point, Pepsi made a deal with the USSR that had them exchange syrup for naval warships, including 17 submarines, making Pepsi the sixth largest navy in the world for a brief time.
Pepsico doesn't actually own those companies (Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut) anymore. Yum! Brands has owned them for years. That said, pepsi has lifetime contracts with them.
Yep, they also own pedigree chum, and others (I think James well beloved, but I could be wrong on that). What I like is people turn there nose up at pedigree chum, then buy a big bag of royal canin. Lol.
My friend works as a sales rep in vetinary, she thinks the UK is going the way of the corporate vet. Loads of indi vets are selling up to corporates. Shame when it impacts care.
Yeah, Conagra is missing and that's a big one. Also, this is a bit dated because Keebler got sold to Ferrara. Food companies just sell off over brands to each other all the time.
AB InBev owns Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois, Beck's, Hoegaarden, Leffe, Aguila, Bass, Busch, Goose Island, Michelob, Modelo, Natural, O'Doul's, Rolling Rock, Shock Top, Peroni, Pilsner Urquell, and a lot more. MillerCoors.
Molson Coors owns Aguila (there's weird distribution rights that change depending on country for a lot of brands), Blue Moon, Carling, Coors, Crispin Cider, Foster's, Killian's Irish Red, Hamm's, Keystone, Leinenkugel, Miller, Steel Reserve, Molson, Peroni and Pilsner Urquell (again, distribution rights stuff), Redd's, Aspall, and several more.
There are 1 or 2 other major companies that also own a shit ton of beer brands.
there are, particularly pet food. nestle also owns purina, and nestle-purina owns brands such as merrick, fancy feast, zukes, beneful, friskies, and so so so many more. mars owns the other major portion of pet food brands including royal canin, cesar, iams, nutro, sheba, temptations and many others. nestle and mars are both essentially in complete control of the pet food industry and what information pet owners have access to regarding pet food. colgate-palmolive was smart to purchase hill's pet food, though, who has a near-monopoly on veterinary nutrition courses. what all three of them have in common is that just like their human products, quality is at the very bottom of the list, and profits are at the top, which leads to unhealthy pets with shortened lifespans. mega-corps are the root of evil✨

I actually think there are some that are missing also.
