"During the 1990s, Hidden Valley had three child-oriented variations of ranch dressing: pizza, nacho cheese, and taco flavors."

How do you do, fellow kids?

I did my college co-op at a butyl rubber production facility. They had a contract with Goodyear and Wrigley’s. And yes both products came from the same process.

The same company that makes Dove body/face wash also makes Ben and Jerry's. They also make Axe/Lynx body spray and Hellman's mayo.

So many multi-national conglomerates make many products in many fields.

Thanks Todd Clorox, and happy holidays. Edit: legalize ranch, that is all.

They own and make all of the Burt’s Bees line of products as well

KnudsonRegime t1_j1l2p6u wrote

Clorox is also Burt’s Bees. Chemicals is chemicals and everything is made of chemicals so a chemical company making chemicals seems pretty normal.

What would be weird is if Kotex made marinara sauce. Or Agtech cattle insemination corp made mayonnaise.

They also own KC Masterpiece. I assumed they were both owned by Kraft.

TheRussianBadger just taught me that General Electric, the people who make washing machines, also make the GAU-8 gatling gun the US military's A-10 uses. You know, the BRRRRRTTTTTT gun. One spins to clean blood and excrement out of clothes. One spins to get blood and excrement into clothes. But both are about spinning.

I’m not sure where you got that, but no to ketchup and mustard. Clorox food brands are limited to Hidden Valley, KC Masterpiece BBQ, kitchen Bouquet, and Soy Vay.

The other Clorox brand that seems to surprise people is Burt’s Bees. They’re getting in the Vitamin and Supplements game as well.

That's an old image and has some inaccuracies or misleading aspects. Notable from Pepsi: Gatorade should be under the Quaker brand, Ocean Spray is a farmer cooperative that has an exclusivity deal with Pepsi, in the US 7up is owned and bottled by the Kuerig Dr Pepper company.

For Nestle: the Wonka branch has been sold to Ferrara Candy Company, Nestle also sold their North American water operations to another company but maintains it outside of North America.

The infographic completely misses Kraft Heinz the 3rd largest food and beverage company in the US and 5th largest in the world.

No it's not. It's made by Hidden Valley Ranch Manufacturing Company, a subsidiary of Clorox.

The Dove and Axe comparison here (both owned by Unilever) reminds me of something I was irritated about in a marketing class in college. Dove had just started the 'Campaign for Real Beauty' showing women of natural body shapes and sizes and I brought up How shallow and dishonest this fascade from Unilever was when on a different commercial break the same company under the Axe brand had deeply misogynistic commercials of skinny models throwing themselves like cheap floozies at average men who wore the Axe brand of shitty mens fragrance. Theres no core values when you sell out your own corporate slogans for a profit.

Clorox doesn’t make it they keep the pofit of the smaller company they own. Which is hidden valley food company or whatever it’s called. There aren’t bleach wipes being made next to ranch in any plant Clorox has. Companies buy other companies to improve stock price or sometimes for banal reasons. If you’re unprofitable then you buy other profitable businesses who’s owners don’t wanna work 18hr days. Then your own business becomes more profitable on paper.

I work in one of the largest grocery chains in the United States and I didn’t know that Gatorade is….checks non-existent notes…a Quaker brand??

Suffice to say, I’m very surprised.

Edit: and Ocean Spray has an exclusivity deal with Pepsi?
