LinkedIn is owned by MS
Ah, thanks. I missed that. I guess I need to update my "all these brands are really all owned by XYZ" chart again.
Wait a few more years, it’ll just be one single circle.
Sooo hope the Justice Department’s new antitrust push proves this joke wrong!
And that circle? Taco Bell.
Funny, but Taco Bell is already a subsidiary of "Yum! Foods Incorporated" who is a terrible company to work for and owns TB, KFC, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, and A&W.
Fun fact the cinnamon sugar on Pizza Hut products is the same cinnamon sugar on those bullshit fake churro bites at Taco Bell, even comes in a Taco Bell branded box and everything.
I was making a joke reference to the movie Demolition Man. I recommend checking it out if you haven't.
They really should make a movie about the Franchise Wars
Will do, thanks! Definitely got that it was a joke, but did not get the reference. Think of my comment as more of the comedic straight man than actually serious lol, I knew you didn't really think TB would own everything!
Who is the parent organization of Yum! Brands? That would be PepsiCo
Spun off in ‘97 I guess but that’s not really the same as selling from my understanding
Edit: they are legally distinct entities that answer to largely the same shareholders after some research
Actually, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think PepsiCo owns Yum!, at least not in the same way Yum! owns the aforementioned subsidiaries.
In any case, I still see it as unlikely that Taco Bell will become the owner of everything, doubly so if it is owned by "Yum! which is owned by PepsiCo" rather than just "owned by Yum!" as that is just another layer down for Taco Bell they'd have to climb out of, just to be owned by themselves, before they can start buying companies to own.
Demolition Man :-)
Ah, the classic "the US is the whole world" idiocy.
All of those companied are based in the US, while having global outreach.
So yes, in this case what US authorities decide will influence an entire world.
P.S. I'm not American, and yes, often times Americans do forget 96% of people don't live in the land of the free. That's not the case.
I mean, all of these companies that really should be broken up are, for some totally, definitely, unknown reason based in the US. So not that weird in that context.
im assuming apple is on that list
Definitely. Both Apple and Google are high up on that list.
how would you break up apple though. im interested.
Hmm. It's not like I've given it lot of thought before now. But what springs to mind is computers/phones/Apple TV at the very least.
i agree with apple tv being it's separate company
