      It’s honestly not that hard. I haven’t bought their products in a few years now. There are alternatives for all of these products, many of which are actually better. They just don’t have the name recognition.

        Definitely, the hard part is keeping track of which brands they own.

          Yeah. Even a popular infographic someone made a few years ago, which still gets posted, is outdated because of brands changing owners.

          I’d like it if companies were legally obligated to prominently display the name of their parent company. Right now, companies are allowed to operate under what are effectively aliases.

            Yep, if it’s 20 layers deep, guess you better dedicate a whole side of the packaging to listing who owns who.

            I’d also not be against limits on how deep it can go. That could easily be an antitrust thing, especially in the case of Nestle.
