Popsicle
Just wait till you learn about this company’s amazing history! After mistakenly leaving his drink outside with a stick in it for a full night, an 11-year-old boy from Oakland, California invented the Popsicle recipe. He found it frozen solid when he went to retrieve it the next day! It was presented to the globe by Francis Epperson while he was a teenager. He sold the rights to Joe Lowe in 1925 after it became an instant hit. “I haven’t been the same since,” he admitted. While it was still a Unilever division, Good Humor bought Popsicle in 1989. In effect, it now belongs to the same English-Dutch parent business.

Purina
Purina was founded in 1894 by George Robinson, William H. Danforth, and William Andrews, who began feeding farm animals. They had no notion that their creation would make them extremely wealthy. Despite the fact that Nestle is better known for its food than its pet food, the Swiss business bought Purina for $10.3 billion in December 2011. This decision was made as part of the company’s strategy to integrate Purina with Friskies PetCare, its pet food division. Purina, in any case, remains a household staple not only in the United States but also around the world.
