But here’s the wildest part:
They don’t just dominate candy.
They also dominate pet care.
Pedigree

Whiskas

Royal Canin

Banfield Hospitals
That’s a $20B+ vet & pet empire hiding behind chocolate.

The Mars family is worth $94B+.

100% private. No stock. No interviews. No noise.

Just stealth execution for over a century.

Isn’t this wild?

As it got light this morning I went for a bike ride to try to capture the morning light. No luck there, as the clouds persisted (though parted as soon as I got home).

I did however decide to drop by Thomas Dambo's #LangeLiv giant/troll sculpture that is on the very small island of Skrædderholmen, right next to the highway, since I was there anyway.

Things I love about #Denmark:

Someone, somewhere has said, "you know what this motorway bridge needs? It needs a giant troll built out of recycled wood to sit underneath it and look at the view".
And so on a perfectly ordinary little shoreline path underneath a motorway bridge, someone* built a troll**.

And she isn't even signposted, you have to unexpectedly come upon her.


*#ThomasDambo it turns out

**her name is Lange Liv
