Popsicle
Wait until you learn about this company’s amazing past! When an 11-year-old Oakland, California child unintentionally left his drink outside with a stick in it for the entire night, he came up with the idea for the Popsicle recipe. Later, he went to get it and saw that the water inside had frozen solid. The world was introduced to it by Francis Epperson when he was an adult. Joe Lowe bought the rights to the song when it became an instant smash for him. The man afterward regretted his decision and admitted that he had changed for the worse since then. The popsicle was acquired by Good Humor in 1989 when it was still a Unilever subsidiary. As a result, it now belongs to the same English-Dutch parent business as the other brands.

Purina
George Robinson, William H. Danforth, and William Andrews began feeding farm animals in 1894, and Purina was born. Inadvertently, their invention made them a fortune. Despite the fact that it is better known for its food than its pet food, Nestle bought Purina in December 2011 for $10.3 billion. The merger of Purina and Friskies PetCare, the company’s pet food division, led to this decision. However, Purina continues to be an American as well as a worldwide household staple.
