Look at your snack drawer. Mars makes Snickers, Twix and Skittles. In 2025 it bought Kellanova, so Pringles and Pop-Tarts answer to the same family.

It goes far wider than snacks. Coca-Cola sells over 500 brands in 195 countries. PepsiCo runs more than 100. One Paris group owns 75 names, from Louis Vuitton to Tiffany to Sephora.

The shelf looks like a hundred rivals. A few dozen parents own the lot.
