For those interested trivia,
The same company that brews Guiness owns Burger King.
London-based Diageo, the world's largest liquor company, has long said it planned to unload Burger King in a sale or spinoff.
The move is part of Diageo's strategy to concentrate on its much more profitable business of making and selling alcoholic beverages. The company's best-known brands include Smirnoff vodka, Johnnie Walker scotch and Guinness beers.

Welcome to the wonderful world of the mega-corporation.... do you know that the World's largest maker of contraceptives, also makes Scholl sandals, barbecues, rubber goods generally and even cutlery

Another good example of a multi-national corp. dominating it's verticle market areas is ConAgra Foods. To quote Hoovers.com

Quote:

It is the #2 US food company (behind Philip Morris' Kraft Foods). ConAgra Foods is #2 in US frozen foods (behind Nestl� USA), and with brands including Butterball and Armour, is #2 in US meat and poultry sales (after Tyson's IBP). It is one of the country's largest food service suppliers and offers shelf-stable foods, seafood, and dairy products. More than 30 of its brands, including Banquet, Chef Boyardee, Healthy Choice, and Van Camp's, each top $100 million in annual sales. ConAgra also makes and distributes agricultural products and food ingredients; mills flour and corn; and trades food commodities.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Don't Forget Procter and Gamble...now there is another big guy. Again from Hoovers

Quote:

P&G is the #1 US maker of household products, with 300 brands in five main categories: laundry and cleaning (detergents), paper goods (toilet paper), beauty care (cosmetics, shampoos), food and beverages (coffee, snacks), and health care (toothpaste, medicine). It also makes Iams premium pet food and PUR water filters and produces the soap operas Guiding Light and As the World Turns. About half of P&G's sales come from its top ten brands; it is shedding weaker brands that don't have long-term growth potential. The company bought hair products giant Clairol (Nice & Easy, Herbal Essences, Aussie) from Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Personally, I boycott all Procter & Gambol products (or those I know about anyhow) cos they test on animals

ie test cleaning products and make-up etc on animals (I am not talking about medecines here)

Ah yes. General Electric, maker of fine household goods, and the M-137 gatling machinegun.

if you could actually get a Guiness in a Burger King, I would probably patronize them more.

" General Electric, maker of fine household goods, and the M-137 gatling machinegun"
GE, "We bring good things to life"
I belive they used to make the triggers for nukes.
