are owned by a small number of holding companies. If you were like me, you
probably intuitively understood that many brands are owned by other
companies but the extent that it happens is pretty stark. This covers only
consumer goods and doesn’t even include several other large companies, like
UK giant Reckitt Benkiser Group – they own French’s, Clearsil, Lysol,
Trojan and many other huge names.
What’s fun is how the brands are organized, you can sort of go around in a
circle and match up similar items. You start with all the P&G cleaning
products, go counter clockwise towards Johnson and Johnson and Unilever for
personal hygiene products. Move upwards towards food and candies with Mars,
Kellogg’s and General Mills. Continue onward into beverages in Pepsi and
Coca-Cola, and then Kraft and Nestle owned solid foods. Nestle helps us
bridge the gap by also owning some makeup and personal hygiene products. Fun
