Add more to the list. It grows like the cancer it causes. Each one of these brands also owns hundreds of products. Some are listed, some aren't. For example, I listed that RJ Reynolds owns Kraft Foods, but I've also listed many of the products Kraft Foods manufactures. This is mainly to get your attention that a huge oligopoly like Altria is behind most of the products we buy everyday. This is also the kind of list you forward to your mother.

Then there's YUM! Foods. They have people from all over on the inside. Some of their directors have worked for corporations like CitiGroup, were special advisors for Papa Bush, were bankers, brokers and businesspeople. Apparently they own
KFC

Long John Silver's
A&W American Foods
Coca Cola doesn't own Mickey Mouse, Disney do. They have a marketing agreement with Coca Cola to allow Coke to produce Mickey branded and themed products, but the ownership is Disney/ABC and not Coca Cola (unless I've missed something somewhere recently!)
Posted by: at December 16, 2004 09:23 AMi think this site is wrong phillip morris Co. is now Altira. R. J. Reynolds the maker of Camel brand cigs recently merged with Brown & williams. I think they make the Kool brand cigs.
