    You should do a Bigger Than You Know video on Mitsubishi. They're not only a car manufacturer, but they have a freight division (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries), a truck division (Fuso), an electric division (Mitsubishi Electric), a banking division, and even more including making buses and even airplanes. Look around your house, because chances are, something, whether it be a car in the driveway, the air conditioning unit, the TV, or the DVD player- one of those things might be made by Mitsubishi.

    • @hotwax9376
      @hotwax9376 5 років тому +3

      @Tiberian Fiend I'd love to see that. While I don't know for sure, I suspect the reason PepsiCo divested itself of Yum had to do with competition in the fountain business. Because they owned three major fast food chains (Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut), Coca Cola ran trade advertisements which claimed that serving Pepsi products was tantamount to bankrolling the competition. Pepsi even sued Coke on at least two occasions alleging unfair competition in its campaign for fountain deals. Eventually, PepsiCo realized that their continuing ownership of the three chains was ultimately hurting its ability to grow its market share and sold it off.
      Since then, PepsiCo has used FritoLay to win fountain deals, with some success. Two years ago the Washington Redskins ended a longtime partnership with Coke to serve Pepsi products at their home games, citing FritoLay as a primary reason. A few years before that Buffalo Wild Wings switched from Coke to Pepsi for the same reason, and the NBA chose Pepsi as its official soft drink sponsor on FritoLay's strength as well. Arby's, which switched from Pepsi to Coke last year, had given its previous contract to Pepsi in the hopes of serving FritoLay products, but that never seemed to materialize. However, Pepsi's overall market share in the fountain business is slightly smaller today than it was before spinning off Yum due to the explosive growth of fast casual chains, an overwhelming majority of which serve Coke products.

      @@TiberianFiend Which ones? Most Burger King franchises in my region have Coke Freestyle fountains, and I think some Wendy's franchises do too. However, I have yet to see one at McDonald's. One thing I appreciate about Burger King is that the franchises around me not only have a Freestyle fountain inside the dining room, but also at the drive thru window, so you can get many of the same flavor combinations without having to go inside (which is nice if you're on a time crunch).
      Pepsi does in fact have a counter fountain called Pepsi Spire, but I have yet to see one in person. I understand there's a Dairy Queen about 50 miles from me that has one, but the closest Dairy Queen to my house has Coke products, and yes, they also have a Freestyle fountain.
      Part of the reason why Coke holds a majority of the US fountain market is due to the fact that Burger King, McDonald's, Wendy's, and Subway all have Coke products. (Interestingly enough, Subway also sells FritoLay products, yet they haven't had Pepsi products here in the States since circa 2004.) McDonald's in particular is a big one, because they sell more fountain drinks than just about anyone else. In fact, they serve so much Coke that the concentrate is delivered to the franchises in steel tanks, while most others buy it prepackaged.

    I've known for a long time that Pepsico owned a massive chunk of the snack food brands we consume including FritoLay, but it's still interesting to see the history behind it.

    SIR, you are just like ME! I remember I used to watch Nightly News, business news every night with my dad! Believe me, I didn't have many friends, mostly because I couldn't connect with them when it came to "regular, kid's stuff..." Glad to see i am not the only!!! Keep up the video post!
