The product i have chosen to look up is Doritos. The reason, while simple, is in my ever so humble opinion a good one. I like Doritos, i really, really do. And what other reason do you require to look thing up online?
So, Doritos.
The company is owned by Frito-Lay, which in turn is owned by PepsiCo,inc.
Originally
the Frito-Lay company was two separate companies.
One was the Frito company,
founded in 1932 in Kansas City. And the other was the H.W Lay company which was
founded in 1931 in Nashville, Tennessee.
From 1945 onward the companies started
working together to reach national distribution. Then in 1961 the companies
merged into Frito-Lay, Inc. and moving their joint headquarters to Dallas in
Texas. At this point the company’s annual revenue had reached a total of $127
million. Then in 1965 the company announced a merger with Pepsi-Cola. They did
this for several reasons, one of which was to make use of the Pepsi-Cola
company’s existing presence and distribution network in 108 countries at that
time. After the merger the name of Pepsi-Cola became PepsiCo, Inc.
Aside from Doritos crisps, they
also sell Lays, Cheetos and Fritos, though these are also crisps. They also sell
some other snacks like Rold Gold pretzels, Cracker Jack popcorn snacks and TrueNorth
nuts and nut crisps.
To summarize they sell all kinds of snacks.
Ofcourse, here you're only talking about the Frito-Lay company. PepsiCo, Inc. sell much more.
