yes I always have a little giggle when people bang on about capitalism giving us "freedom of choice".

Good information there. But I don't care much who own what.

It's the taste. Each company has their own signature. Like King Island

cheese is totally different to South Cape, yet both are owned by Lion.

As long as Unilever doesn't put washing powder into Street's

ice cream, I'm pretty much happy

Clever. Get the profits from people that over indulge in chocolate and icecream, then hit them again when they try and lose weight.

Nestle, which counts Kit Kat, Allen’s lollies and Movenpick ice cream among its portfolio also owns weight loss brand Optifast and, up until a few months ago, Jenny Craig.
