Although the title is a bit misleading as Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British I still love to see this every couple of years as a reminder.
Note that this does not necessarily show your local brands (unless you’re in the US, presumably). German pizza maker Wagner and German convenience food maker Maggi are owned by Nestle, but not represented here.

Nestlé and Unilever are not American. Nestlé is Swiss and Unilever is British/Dutch.
This does not mean that they are good brand and you can certainly find many reasons to boycott them but not because they are American
Don’t forget Kraft, P&G, and Johnson&Johnson
Mondelez is kraft
Kraft spun off the company that became Mondelez, Kraft was then acquired by Heinz and became Kraft Heinz iirc
They’re two halves of a whole, i thought.
Unilever isn’t American.
Depends on what you mean by “being” American. It’s owned mostly by American institutions like Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
Nor is Nestle.
One of their biggest shareholders are BlackRock, puts a big black mark on the company.
IMO: Nestlé - Switzerland Unilever - UK
Nobody will ever convince me that we wouldn’t all be better off without breaking up these trusts.
The negation in your sentence implies you think the status quo is good - just fyi
Fair enough. Just to be clear, we would all be better off if we broke up these trusts.

If you really want a good time, do this with Japanese mega corporations.
Honestly out of the stuff I’m seeing here there’s not a single thing that doesn’t have a European drop in replacement. If we got rid of everything tomorrow people would probably mourn Coca Cola and candy bars for a while and not much else.
Cadbury’s hits hard for many in the UK. Took a decent company, fucked up the ingredients and now they’re American.
That’s true but as long as you still have Terry’s you will prevail! 😄
Happily 80% of those are not sold in my corner of Europe.
We have enough domestic brands that covers all this shit food with better quality local alternatives (Migros, Frey, Lindt…)
The most famous being a really human mega corporation with nothing to hide, aka Nestle.
Breizh Cola FTW
The monopolies are there, now they just need to be nationalized
Time to give up UPFs and eat proper food, like British oats.
