But why no profits LoL
Did my image show up for you? I tried to upload a bigger picture with 10 companies and every brand name they owned
Your image works fine for me. Idk what they're talking about, these companies are making plenty of profit. (Probably not enough if you ask the shareholders tho)
The picture is also from 2012 so I don't know what was bought/sold/merged/divested since then
Land of Lakes is a farmer-owned co-op...but from 1989 until 2007, Kraft was owned by Phillip Morris (the tobacco company now known as Altria).
Marlboro and EasyMac were corporate cousins.
The tobacco companies saw the decline of tobacco sales and rolled into processed foods with all the addiction research they had already been doing.
