I work at Target in Logistics (meaning I unload the trucks and stock shelves). I see the labels all day and it is just crazy how many of our products are produced by the same few companies.
i worked for p &g vn for over 6 years in Vietnam and i am very disappointed with việt nam sales because they lose distribution..i go to 10 stores. and only 1 store has safeguard. this is very very bad sales.
Fantastic video as always! The "Bigger Than You Know" playlist is going to make for a fun binge-watch one day, and make the product world look very small!
@@angelmarie2 when my mom was a kid in the late 1930s, she started listening to The Guiding Light when it was a radio program. She continued to follow the program when it became a TV show in the 1950s, and continue to watch it until it ended in the 2000s.
@@AtomicAgePictures I started watching it circa 1997. Michelle was apart of the teen set but Annie was the reason I watched and Dinah was the reason I stayed. The show has so much rich history on most media platforms. I wish it could be rebooted on Hulu or Netflix or even on here.
AtomicAgePictures I remember Procter & Gamble for those daytime soaps to when I was really really little I remember the logo at the end kind if used to scare me lol
Company man you rule! One of my favorite channels of all UA-cam time. You hooked me with nostalgia classics like Blockbuster and Nickelodeon and I stayed for things like Arizona and CVS. Keep it up mate
Proctor & Gamble also has an entertainment production company. Originally known as Proctor & Gamble Productions (now Proctor & Gamble Entertainment) they produced (and sponsored) many daytime dramas (soap operas) first on radio, starting in the 1930's and later on television. Many classic soap operas were produced by Proctor & Gamble Productions including: The Guiding Light (1937-56 on radio; 1952-2009 on television) As the World Turns (1956-2010) The Brighter Day (1948-56 on radio; 1954-62 on television) The Edge of Night (1956-84) Search for Tomorrow (1951-86) Another World (1964-99) Somerset (1970-76) Texas (1980-82).
Which is exactly where the term "soap operas" came from. Because, the shows were either sponsored by, or featured commercials advertising cleaning products. They definitely knew their audience, since it was mostly housewives.
I was actually really excited when I saw you FINALLY uploaded a P&G episode!! When I was a teenager (like 10 years ago), I learned on my own how absolutely huge P&G is. I was fascinated by how they like to feature they're brands within their other brands (like a crossover product haha). So I'm gonna do my best to write as many brands as I can: Covergirl, Olay, Head & Shoulders, Old Spice, Febreze, Charmin, Tide, Gain, Downy, Herbal Essence, Swiffer, Glad, Crest, Bounce, Bounty, Gillette/Venus, Puffs, and Vicks And I promise I didn't cheat! Like I said, I was obsessed with finding out how many brands P&G actually contains and discovering their crossovers (i.e. Covergirl foundation with Olay moisturizer, Head & Shoulders with the scent of Old Spice, etc)
I am fascinated that you, Annie, correctly used the possessive "their" in the same sentence where you wrote another possessive "their" as "they're", somthing that most people get incorrect even when "they are" is appropriate. Sorry for this digression.
Procter and Gamble were also the biggest producers of TV soap operas. The nickname “soap opera” is from the fact that P&G’s biggest products were soap related. The soaps they produced over the years include Guiding Light, Search For Tomorrow, The Edge Of Night, As The World Turns, Another World, Somerset and Texas, among many others. P&G Productions was officially dissolved when their last remaining soap opera, As The World Turns, went off the air in September 2010.
I hear on YT that the price to rent UHaul to move into California is much cheaper than going from California to other states, such as Texas. The difference is to indicate a mass exodus out of California and fewer moving into the state (supply and demand).
You're right, Uhaul is one of those brands that have become synonymous with what they sell, much like Kleenex. When I moved a few months ago I didn't say "I need to get a moving truck", I said "I need to get a uhaul".
And let’s lot forget the television production arm of P&G, which made daytime soap operas like As The World Turns, Guiding Light and Another World. Notice that the shows were generally created as advertising vehicles for their products. Every commercial break would feature ads for a variety of products by P&G. This is actually how these shows got the name “soap operas”.
P&g sponsored those shows not produced them. The products were bought by the housewives (the real one not these bitches from Atlanta) so they paid for the advertising through the shows ...brought to by company man...giving you the business facts
I'm 53 yrs old and Procter & Gamble has ALWAYS been a part of my life. I still purchase many of their products: Bouncy, Bounty, Venus, FeBreeze, Crest and Oral B -- just to name a few.
P&G used to have "tiers" of products - one more expensive level (tier 1) and one budget level (tier 2): Level 1 detergents were Tide and Cheer; Level 2 was Gain, Oxydol and Dash. Level 1 bathroom tiissue was Charnin and Level 2 was White Cloud. They also marketed products to address specific uses: For bar soap, Ivory was the natural option, Camay was a beauty soap, Zest and Safeguard were deoderant soap, and Lava ("with pumice") was a tough hand soap marketed kids and blue collar workers. The company also infamously produced Rely tampons, which were pulled from the market after women died from toxic shock syndrome caused by the product. As someone who watched a number of P&G soaps, most of their commercials in the 60s-80's were very tightly written "stories" that introduced a problem that was solved by a P&G product within 30 seconds. These commercials also produced memorable product mascots like Mrs. Olsen (Folger's), Mr. Whipple (Charmin) and Josephine the Plumber (Comet cleanser).
I have Crest toothpase and mouthwash, I only knew they were made by P&G because I read the back of my mouthwash bottle while I was on the toilet without my phone.
My father was the production manager at the Plant in Jackson, TN. They recently sold the plant to Kellogg’s, but they offered to keep every one of their employees at the plant. My father was, in my eyes, very accomplished and he dropped out of college. I wish that one day I can fit in his shoes, and I’m 26
Hi, Company Man. You forgot to mention that Procter & Gamble used to have their own television division which they produced the longtime CBS soap opera, Guiding Light.
Oh man, I remember Guiding Light. My mom used to tape episodes of that on VHS when I was a toddler. It was one of her favorites back in the day. The fact that they’re called soap operas is literally because of P&G is amazing to find out about.
@@jonasthemovie Yes. I am not kidding. Procter & Gamble used to produced the once long time soap opera Guiding Light. Under Procter & Gamble Productions that is. You can tell them by their classic logo from the 1980's at the end of the show.
WTF who hasn't heard of Procter & Gamble. Sure many people only knows them as P&G but they're so big and had been there for so long, surely most people have at least heard of them.
my father worked for p&g for 37yrs we still get chistmas baskets with new products every year even 2 decades after his retirment! Touring the factory once a year as a kid was Awsome seeing the tech on the floor change from my first tour in'84 till my last in '96 was crazy
My parents worked and started dating while working at Proctor and Gamble so I've heard this company a ton of times. They even have one of those wooden shipping crates from that company that they used to use to store things
Not exactly, they are a multinational company that tries to get as much of a market cap as they can they have tons and tons of lawyers to keep a repeat of clorox from happening again. They wouldn't really buy a company and then turn around and sell it, that makes zero sense. They would try to avoid getting into that mess again. They are a distribution company, and they buy up a company to see if it will make them money long term, if not, they sell it.
Past few decades P&G sells off brands due to pressure on CEOs from shareholders. Some investor activist stirred up shit this past Spring with corporate who sees no reason for their HQ to be in Cincinnati.
I went to a conference in Cincinnati once. Went sightseeing found P&G headquarters. Huge! Went into the lobby of one of the buildings. Glass display cases on the walls around the entire ground floor each one dedicated to one of their products. It was mindboggling!
This is a very informative video I have joined Procter & Gamble this year 2021 .I m dealing with multivitamin Evion,Polybion, Neurobion,Livogen,Cosine and electrobion.I feel glad to be part of this organization.
Proctor & Gamble became massive because they were easily the largest advertiser in the USA. They had huge presence on both radio and TV, and in fact for several decades owned the production for several daytime TV "soap operas." (Indeed, the very name _soap opera_ came from the fact P&G owned the production of these shows outright.) They're still a major advertiser, and if you go to any supermarket, Walmart or Target store, you'll be surprised how many P&G products are on the shelves.
All of PG's early products involved the use of animal fats. This is no coincidence. Cincinnati had a tremendous excess of animal byproducts due to the booming meatpacking industry in the city at the time. Several other famous food and hygiene brands from hot dogs to shampoos rose from the same part of the city's west end near the giant stockyards and rail-yards. Animal byproducts were and still are used in a multitude of products. The stockyards are gone but the brands remain. This is at least part of the reason why more famous household brands were born in Cincinnati than anywhere else in the world.
This was very informative. After watching the video in full, I realized that almost every single product that you mentioned was a household product in my family's home. I transitioned into a plant based and chemical free lifestyle in the 80's. Thanks for the info.
I used to work for Unilever which is P&G's largest competitor. They have a lot in common. You would probably be hard pressed to name their products but you definitely have them in your home. But they are in fact bigger than you know.
My grandfather was a plant manager for P&G and worked at the plant in Mahoopany PA, he also started running the first line of Luvs diapers, which according to him were supposed to be the premium diaper at the time.
In China, the TV advertisements of Crest, Pantene, Gillette, Tide, Olay etc are all followed by the P&G logo with their chinese name 宝洁. No idea why they don’t do the same in their ads elsewhere.
It’s probably because they did market research and found that in foreign markets showing the American parent company increased sales while in countries like America it’s better to put on the face of choice. That’s my guess
It’s funny how each brand leaving the P&G umbrella directly coincides with my memories of their commercial presence dropping off. Just goes to show what a powerful marketing machine the corporation is
That was their final food brand to be sold. The peanut butter and jelly business was sold to Smucker's, and the cake business was sold to Pinnacle Foods (Pinnacle now owned by ConAgra).
Still a huge company, and you have indeed impressed us with how huge they really are, but it seems they only currently own maybe a quarter of the brands you mentioned, having sold the vast majority. It's seems they're almost more of an investor than a manufacturer (although they also invest in manufacturing facilities, many of which I'm sure they sell when selling the related brand) acquiring smaller companies for 5-10 years then selling at a gain. An incredibly valuable portfolio.
After taking an intro to marketing class in college, I’ve been fascinated by P&G. I’d love for you to do more financial and business analysis on this company in the future.
Hey man, this is probably going to sound weird, but here in Mexico a couple of years ago every head and shoulders ad on the TV ended with the P&G logo for some reason, so... Head and shoulders?
Honestly and sincerely, Off the top of my head, without watching the video first: Cascade Jet Dry Tide Downy Febreeze Crest Ivory OLAY Pantene Head & Shoulders Oral B Antacids (can’t remember which ones) Dawn Zest Irish Spring Clairol Shampoo Mr. Clean Not 30, but A LOT! I know these because I have used these products all my life and noticed P&G on the back of EVERY bottle/container. How’d I do?
Love the video! I didn’t comment on brands I knew were P&G because the store I work at carries nearly all these and at one point I was training to be Accounts Payable. So I saw the invoices I know you couldn’t go in depth about why they chose to spin-off some brands but think it’d make a great part 2. Great work keep it up
Also, in part 2 of the Procter & Gamble video, you should mention the time that they had their television production company called Procter & Gamble Productions. They were best known for their popular soap operas in both television and radio from the likes of Guiding Light and As the World Turns which they both aired on CBS. Heck, they even sponsored their own brands during their soap operas. Too bad that Procter & Gamble shut down their television arm in 2010.
Well I guess I'm cheating a little since both of my parents have worked for P&G for 30ish years... But here are the brands I know: Ariel Tide Lenor Head&Shoulders Gillette Oral-B Braun Old Spice Pampers Vicks Duracell (although they might've sold that since then I'm not sure) Always Tampax Febreze Bounty SK-II I'm definitely missing a few as I don't live in the US and some of the brands are only present there.
I live about 30 mins from one of their plants that produces Tide among other things, so I knew all of these as they have been in the local news at some point in time.
Last semester we had a class on brands like P&G and the teacher was so bad at explaining its history and achievements. You did a great job and kept the video interesting!
Once you started mentioning all the brands they owned or own I started going through all my shelves and found them on half of my stuff. Also i couldn't keep up with all the companies you mentioned lol
They hit an all time high less than a month ago. Not really worried about short-term corrections like that. In fact I view them as buying opportunities. The PG business is solid and will far more than likely survive a few management issues.
Yes, it is the archrival of Unilever. P&G manufactures consumer products like Tide, Mr. Clean, and Ariel laundry detergents, Downy fabric conditioner, Febreze fabric and air freshener (that was marketed in Southeast Asia as Ambi Pur), Safeguard line of germicidal soaps, Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo, Pantene hair care products (remember their latest ad campaign that has the tagline "Strong is Beautiful"), Old Spice men's personal care products, Secret women's deodorant (remember the tagline: "exposed? keep it Secret"), Vicks VapoRub cold rub and Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup.
I think we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up a huge part of P&G's legacy portfolio, daytime television serial dramas (aka soap operas). They were a giant force in daytime TV, producing and sponsoring such shows like "Guiding Light", "As The World Turns", "Search for Tomorrow", "Another World", and "The Edge of Night", all of which were television staples from the 50s up til at least the 80s. In fact, the term 'soap opera' came from the fact that P&G sponsored so many daytime dramas.
Speaking as a baby boomer, a lot of these older brands were very popular in the 1960's. What stands out for me is that these are known as trusted brands, brands known for good quality. Even with products where the P&G item is not the absolute leader in the market, they are a strong contended known for quality. That says a lot for P&G.
You didn’t mention 2 of the favs in Cincinnati: White Cloud TP & Jergens Lotion. Loved the smell of cooking that lotion when using the Norwood Lateral & I-75. Interesting fact. My sister’s best friend’s dad invented the canister that Pringles come in. His name was Jack Turner. He died a couple of years ago in Las Vegas, where I lived & I attended his funeral & learned that little bit of trivia.
I think the only reason I was familiar with them was because I lived in Cincinnati(where their headquarters is) for like 8 years. Even worked in a factory that packaged their products.
Only P&G brands I know are Head & Shoulders and Pringles, but based on how different those products are, I've always assumed the company was super diverse.
DoomFinger511 No, I have, I was just doing the challenge Company Man suggested at the beginning of the video to list what you know before watching the video.
And there was P&G Productions. This goes back to radio in the 1930's when they began to produce (and advertise) daytime dramas, hence the term soap opera. Some shows such as The Guiding Light, went from radio to television. They had over a dozen of these shows.
It would be interesting to learn about how tightly integrated all these brands from big companies like P&G and J&J actually are. DO they share R&D? Factories?
The brands I associate with P & G......I guess I don't know any prior to watching this. I know the name and know they own a ton of things I don't realize, but I couldn't pick out a specific one I guess. I suppose the first product that comes to mind would be like shampoo or body wash or something, but again I couldn't pick which specific brand is P&G. Time to hit play and find out!
I worked for them in KC and WV. As a speciality tech I was focused on Dawn Dish Soap. I learned a lot about life and business from my experience with them.
A similar company you could make a “Bigger than you know” video on would be Kimberly Clark. They make Huggies, Kleenex, Scott, Kotex, Cottonelle and Viva to name a few. Thx.
I knew they were huge. I remember back in the 90's when a bunch of jesus fanatics accused Procter and Gamble of being satanic. I remember a big list of brand names they would pass around and post at churces - Procter and Gamble brands that all the jesus fanatics were supposed to boycott...
Maybe do food chains that have risen and fell. Big Boy was once nation-wide, now a few clusters. Most are remnants of former franchises and others exist in various capacities. And there are remaining ones in Japan. Mister Donut was once a nationwide doughnut chain in the US, now bought out and absorbed by Dunkin' Donuts in the 90s. The chain still thrives in Japan.
Actually P&G started the SOAP OPERA format and their ad agency coined the term. Also they produced the episodes of quite a few of them for decades on their PGP (Procter & Gamble Productions) subsidiary.
I remember dating a guy in the late 90’s and his mother used to rant to me about why she boycotts P&G. At the time I just wrote her off as an old lady complaining to complain. Mainly cause I used quite a few of the brands they made. I honestly can’t remember why she boycott them or if she still does today. Nice video. :)
many people used to boycott p&g because their old logo looked like a "satanic" or "freemason" symbol (i think) and they used to think they were evil and controlling their consumers in some way. it was a conspiracy theory thing.
I work at Target in Logistics (meaning I unload the trucks and stock shelves). I see the labels all day and it is just crazy how many of our products are produced by the same few companies.

totally agree. i know about them since i was a kid and i am from ukraine....
No
Well I'm American and have know these brands for years and have never heard the name procter and gamble ever in my life till today
ik what it is, but iv'e never seen it clearly on a product. Iv'e seen that logo before, I'm sure of it, I just don't know where it was on.
Really? I mean it's just crazy to not see them. They're like the Coca Cola of household products.
my father worked for p&g for 37yrs we still get chistmas baskets with new products every year even 2 decades after his retirment! Touring the factory once a year as a kid was Awsome seeing the tech on the floor change from my first tour in'84 till my last in '96 was crazy
My parents worked and started dating while working at Proctor and Gamble so I've heard this company a ton of times. They even have one of those wooden shipping crates from that company that they used to use to store things
Soooo P & G is one of those companies that are so rich they buy everything and sell companies off before they get into antitrust trouble.
Not exactly, they are a multinational company that tries to get as much of a market cap as they can they have tons and tons of lawyers to keep a repeat of clorox from happening again. They wouldn't really buy a company and then turn around and sell it, that makes zero sense. They would try to avoid getting into that mess again.
They are a distribution company, and they buy up a company to see if it will make them money long term, if not, they sell it.
Past few decades P&G sells off brands due to pressure on CEOs from shareholders. Some investor activist stirred up shit this past Spring with corporate who sees no reason for their HQ to be in Cincinnati.
repeat of Clorox? im new
They had to sell off clorox after being threatened by anti trust laws, it was towards the first part of the video
You buy what you can innovate and sell what you can no longer innovate
I went to a conference in Cincinnati once. Went sightseeing found P&G headquarters. Huge! Went into the lobby of one of the buildings. Glass display cases on the walls around the entire ground floor each one dedicated to one of their products. It was mindboggling!
This is a very informative video I have joined Procter & Gamble this year 2021 .I m dealing with multivitamin Evion,Polybion, Neurobion,Livogen,Cosine and electrobion.I feel glad to be part of this organization.
Do Unilever
I'm pretty sure he already did a video on them. If it's not there it may have been taken down...
Don't Koch(bros) Industries own Unilever?
Yeah, I think it would be pretty cool for him to make a video about Unilever because they own a whole lot too.
Christina Cope, no, Unilever is an independent company.
@@italiansoutherner good to know, since Koch owns so much already.
Proctor & Gamble became massive because they were easily the largest advertiser in the USA. They had huge presence on both radio and TV, and in fact for several decades owned the production for several daytime TV "soap operas." (Indeed, the very name _soap opera_ came from the fact P&G owned the production of these shows outright.) They're still a major advertiser, and if you go to any supermarket, Walmart or Target store, you'll be surprised how many P&G products are on the shelves.
Brands that I associate with P&G:
Tide
Gilette
Dawn
Crest
When I hear P&G the first the come to mind for me are Tide, Bounty, Charmin, and Crest
I always thought they made the plastic bottles
Gillette’s recent sexist campaign revealed P&G’s true colours.
Good, a few products I know to boycott from a nauseously woke company!! Thanks 😊
P&G is allover TV with commercials. I'm pretty sure most people know who they are.
i literally only know them from P&G cruises
Literally just heard of them
All of PG's early products involved the use of animal fats. This is no coincidence. Cincinnati had a tremendous excess of animal byproducts due to the booming meatpacking industry in the city at the time. Several other famous food and hygiene brands from hot dogs to shampoos rose from the same part of the city's west end near the giant stockyards and rail-yards. Animal byproducts were and still are used in a multitude of products. The stockyards are gone but the brands remain. This is at least part of the reason why more famous household brands were born in Cincinnati than anywhere else in the world.
Lots to brag about here in the Queen City :)
This was very informative. After watching the video in full, I realized that almost every single product that you mentioned was a household product in my family's home. I transitioned into a plant based and chemical free lifestyle in the 80's. Thanks for the info.
I used to work for Unilever which is P&G's largest competitor. They have a lot in common. You would probably be hard pressed to name their products but you definitely have them in your home. But they are in fact bigger than you know.
I live in cincinnati where the headquarters is, a lot of people I know work for them
@fukthegoog fuck off man they are real people who are trying to do good work
@Cincinnati Ohio?
If so, I live in blue ash! uwu ^^

My mom works at their Mason Campus.
My grandfather was a plant manager for P&G and worked at the plant in Mahoopany PA, he also started running the first line of Luvs diapers, which according to him were supposed to be the premium diaper at the time.
In China, the TV advertisements of Crest, Pantene, Gillette, Tide, Olay etc are all followed by the P&G logo with their chinese name 宝洁. No idea why they don’t do the same in their ads elsewhere.
Same in Turkey too
They sometimes do it in Canada too.
Regla
It’s probably because they did market research and found that in foreign markets showing the American parent company increased sales while in countries like America it’s better to put on the face of choice. That’s my guess
In Germany they always show The Logo P&G and i remember when i was a child there was a commercial die P&G whole
It’s funny how each brand leaving the P&G umbrella directly coincides with my memories of their commercial presence dropping off. Just goes to show what a powerful marketing machine the corporation is
You know, Company Man. As of 2012, Pringles is now owned by Kellogg's.
That was their final food brand to be sold. The peanut butter and jelly business was sold to Smucker's, and the cake business was sold to Pinnacle Foods (Pinnacle now owned by ConAgra).
Still a huge company, and you have indeed impressed us with how huge they really are, but it seems they only currently own maybe a quarter of the brands you mentioned, having sold the vast majority. It's seems they're almost more of an investor than a manufacturer (although they also invest in manufacturing facilities, many of which I'm sure they sell when selling the related brand) acquiring smaller companies for 5-10 years then selling at a gain. An incredibly valuable portfolio.
After taking an intro to marketing class in college, I’ve been fascinated by P&G. I’d love for you to do more financial and business analysis on this company in the future.
I first heard about P&G from Pringles...my grandmother said "Isn't that the people that make soap?"...
P&G? Do PG&E next! keep up the satisfactory work :)
DO PGE, PORTLAND GENERAL ELECTRIC
they’re two different companies search it up
BGE
duke energy
Hey man, this is probably going to sound weird, but here in Mexico a couple of years ago every head and shoulders ad on the TV ended with the P&G logo for some reason, so... Head and shoulders?
Ask Sofía Vergara, the Colombian model / actor who's their spokesperson nowadays...
Same thing here in the Philippines.
They do display their identity since the 90s.
In Japan, they're doing it since the 80s.
Yo pensaba que significaba Putas & Gorrones.
Head & Shoulders was mentioned in the video
Divertido, pensaba el mismo
Honestly and sincerely, Off the top of my head, without watching the video first:
Cascade
Jet Dry
Tide
Downy
Febreeze
Crest
Ivory
OLAY
Pantene
Head & Shoulders
Oral B
Antacids (can’t remember which ones)
Dawn
Zest
Irish Spring
Clairol Shampoo
Mr. Clean
Not 30, but A LOT! I know these because I have used these products all my life and noticed P&G on the back of EVERY bottle/container.
How’d I do?
Oh my gosh! I got quite a few! Wow!
Everyone Rocks No One Sucks Isn’t Jet Dry a Reckitt Benckiser brand?
They don't make Jet-Dry
add old spice and aussie shampoo
I work at a P&G DC, so I knew all of them off the top of my head, unfortunately. lol
Love the video! I didn’t comment on brands I knew were P&G because the store I work at carries nearly all these and at one point I was training to be Accounts Payable. So I saw the invoices
I know you couldn’t go in depth about why they chose to spin-off some brands but think it’d make a great part 2. Great work keep it up
Also, in part 2 of the Procter & Gamble video, you should mention the time that they had their television production company called Procter & Gamble Productions. They were best known for their popular soap operas in both television and radio from the likes of Guiding Light and As the World Turns which they both aired on CBS. Heck, they even sponsored their own brands during their soap operas. Too bad that Procter & Gamble shut down their television arm in 2010.
Well I guess I'm cheating a little since both of my parents have worked for P&G for 30ish years... But here are the brands I know:
Ariel
Tide
Lenor
Head&Shoulders
Gillette
Oral-B
Braun
Old Spice
Pampers
Vicks
Duracell (although they might've sold that since then I'm not sure)
Always
Tampax
Febreze
Bounty
SK-II
I'm definitely missing a few as I don't live in the US and some of the brands are only present there.
I live about 30 mins from one of their plants that produces Tide among other things, so I knew all of these as they have been in the local news at some point in time.
👏you did good!
Vicks and Duracell are by P&G?
@@OmarAlikaj Duracell was .. sold
What, are you a vegetarian or something?
Last semester we had a class on brands like P&G and the teacher was so bad at explaining its history and achievements. You did a great job and kept the video interesting!
Crazy stuff... I was applying for an internship with them - the process included researching the company - and even I didn't know ALL of those brands.
Once you started mentioning all the brands they owned or own I started going through all my shelves and found them on half of my stuff. Also i couldn't keep up with all the companies you mentioned lol
Man, 3M and P&G are just CRAZY diversified!
Now that I see some of the brands, it does seem like the ads for those brands have a similar aura to them.
One of the greatest dividend stocks out there!
Second only to that of the Standard Oil Co.
Didn't they become part of XOM?
Agreed Brandon. Fantastic dividend stock.
Their stocks have PLUMETED in the past few months because of major management issues
They hit an all time high less than a month ago. Not really worried about short-term corrections like that. In fact I view them as buying opportunities. The PG business is solid and will far more than likely survive a few management issues.
I was well aware of most of these brands, back when I grew up the P&G logo was more prominent than it is today.
Yes, it is the archrival of Unilever. P&G manufactures consumer products like Tide, Mr. Clean, and Ariel laundry detergents, Downy fabric conditioner, Febreze fabric and air freshener (that was marketed in Southeast Asia as Ambi Pur), Safeguard line of germicidal soaps, Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo, Pantene hair care products (remember their latest ad campaign that has the tagline "Strong is Beautiful"), Old Spice men's personal care products, Secret women's deodorant (remember the tagline: "exposed? keep it Secret"), Vicks VapoRub cold rub and Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup.
Johnson & Johnson: bigger than you know
And more evil than you know
I think we'd be remiss if we didn't bring up a huge part of P&G's legacy portfolio, daytime television serial dramas (aka soap operas). They were a giant force in daytime TV, producing and sponsoring such shows like "Guiding Light", "As The World Turns", "Search for Tomorrow", "Another World", and "The Edge of Night", all of which were television staples from the 50s up til at least the 80s. In fact, the term 'soap opera' came from the fact that P&G sponsored so many daytime dramas.
How did you forget The Art of Shaving? I worked for them for a little over two years, and took great pride in being a part of P&G’s only retail store!
Speaking as a baby boomer, a lot of these older brands were very popular in the 1960's. What stands out for me is that these are known as trusted brands, brands known for good quality. Even with products where the P&G item is not the absolute leader in the market, they are a strong contended known for quality. That says a lot for P&G.
Good ol’ practal and grovel.
How about Samsonite?
I knew they make luggage. I've started noticing them in more places, like water bottles, backpacks, and even folding chairs.
You didn’t mention 2 of the favs in Cincinnati: White Cloud TP & Jergens Lotion. Loved the smell of cooking that lotion when using the Norwood Lateral & I-75. Interesting fact. My sister’s best friend’s dad invented the canister that Pringles come in. His name was Jack Turner. He died a couple of years ago in Las Vegas, where I lived & I attended his funeral & learned that little bit of trivia.
@Jane Hoeweler Its such an amazing opportunity for you to be there at Jack Turner, it’s good you could learn about him too.
How are you today, Jane?
I think the only reason I was familiar with them was because I lived in Cincinnati(where their headquarters is) for like 8 years. Even worked in a factory that packaged their products.
I'm from Hamilton. #WhoDey
Can you do United Health Group? Fortune 5 company and biggest health insurance company in the world. 200+ billion a year
I work as a contractor at p&g facility in Cincinnati. By looking at their facility I can say they are massive
P&G’s head quarters is in my city!
Johnson & Johnson
Unilever
Church & Dewight
Jason G he already did unilever
You mean SC Johnson
Why did I also think that Unilever was a part of P&G? Strange
Katelyn G No. He really means JNJ.
I always think of Olay, Ivory, and Tide. They are also acquiring the Japanese skincare brand Tatcha.
Only P&G brands I know are Head & Shoulders and Pringles, but based on how different those products are, I've always assumed the company was super diverse.
You never heard of tide detergent or bounty paper towels?
DoomFinger511 No, I have, I was just doing the challenge Company Man suggested at the beginning of the video to list what you know before watching the video.
Ahh gotcha, then you knew 2 more then I did lol
And there was P&G Productions. This goes back to radio in the 1930's when they began to produce (and advertise) daytime dramas, hence the term soap opera. Some shows such as The Guiding Light, went from radio to television. They had over a dozen of these shows.
If I am not mistaken, P&G is headquartered here in Ohio
hey can you host polls on your videos so we can choose what we want, like another episode of the decline of or bigger than you know?
It would be interesting to learn about how tightly integrated all these brands from big companies like P&G and J&J actually are. DO they share R&D? Factories?
The brands I associate with P & G......I guess I don't know any prior to watching this. I know the name and know they own a ton of things I don't realize, but I couldn't pick out a specific one I guess. I suppose the first product that comes to mind would be like shampoo or body wash or something, but again I couldn't pick which specific brand is P&G. Time to hit play and find out!
Do uniliver
U N I L *E* V E R
I worked for them in KC and WV. As a speciality tech I was focused on Dawn Dish Soap. I learned a lot about life and business from my experience with them.
I knew they were huge, but I could not name a single brand they own.
P&G Brands that I know of: Sunny D, Tide, Bounty Paper Towels, Gillette razors, Dawn dishwashing liquid.
A similar company you could make a “Bigger than you know” video on would be Kimberly Clark. They make Huggies, Kleenex, Scott, Kotex, Cottonelle and Viva to name a few. Thx.
Colgate Palmolive or church and Dwight
The brands that I associate with Procter & Gamble are:
Crest
Pampers
Luvs
Tide
Ivory Soap
Scope
Mr. Clean
The company is like 15 mins from my house in Ohio and I know it’s big but idk how big
They have multiple campuses in the Cincinnati area. I can think of 3 alone that I pass regularly while commuting.
I'm from Ohio!
Please do a video on Irish Springs...I haven't seen any commercials, ads & etc. I'm wondering what happened...??
P&G is big here around Cincinnati, They're also known as Proctor and God.
Love Cincy!
Actually, it is where they're headquartered.
I knew they were huge. I remember back in the 90's when a bunch of jesus fanatics accused Procter and Gamble of being satanic. I remember a big list of brand names they would pass around and post at churces - Procter and Gamble brands that all the jesus fanatics were supposed to boycott...
Satan wants to kill your bad breath and body odor muahahaha

Maybe I missed it but I work for them in Gillette, Venus and Braun and do not think you mentioned those? And Oral B? And Olay? Uhm...:)
Colgate
Edit: never mind , it was Crest
Close.
Company Man, can you do a Bigger Than You Know episode on Hasbro?
@@companyman114 I think I got a good one: Unilever
Colgate and Palmolive are their own separate company
Same I was like Kleenex.. nope puffs
Maybe do food chains that have risen and fell. Big Boy was once nation-wide, now a few clusters. Most are remnants of former franchises and others exist in various capacities. And there are remaining ones in Japan.
Mister Donut was once a nationwide doughnut chain in the US, now bought out and absorbed by Dunkin' Donuts in the 90s. The chain still thrives in Japan.
Big Boy is still a huge chain in the US, but they vary by region. Lots of new stores have been opening up in the past few years.
I love Mister Donut. It's the best place to get a donut here in Japan but had no clue it was first in America. Same with Lawson's.
Too many to list but I have bought about 26 of their products. Had to go online to look at what they currently have and what you have mentioned.
I was used to hearing their name from game show prizes in the 1970s.
Actually P&G started the SOAP OPERA format and their ad agency coined the term. Also they produced the episodes of quite a few of them for decades on their PGP (Procter & Gamble Productions) subsidiary.
Can you do Johnson and Johnson next!
Merck Pharmaceutical
Just done today
Arian Berry Yes
In Minnesota we had dupont for whites and filtech for blacks in the basement of dupont. Which company do the blacks work for under proctor and gamble?
Should do Bigger Than You Know: Mondelez. Every time I turn around I see their name on something else that I eat.
I would like to see this too since everything that has their name on it used to be owned by Kraft.
They should prob merge together again along with Heinz
Kraft split into Mondelez and Kraft, then the latter merged with Heinz.
Best Channel, really unique
Please do a video on the Procter & Gamble "Moon & Stars" logo controversy.
I remember dating a guy in the late 90’s and his mother used to rant to me about why she boycotts P&G. At the time I just wrote her off as an old lady complaining to complain. Mainly cause I used quite a few of the brands they made. I honestly can’t remember why she boycott them or if she still does today.
Nice video. :)
That read like an Abe Simpson story.
many people used to boycott p&g because their old logo looked like a "satanic" or "freemason" symbol (i think) and they used to think they were evil and controlling their consumers in some way. it was a conspiracy theory thing.
The corporate symbol is actually pretty cool and is on their building downtown Cincinnati. The church people went after it in the 1980s🙄
I've always known P&G for testing their products on animals
Christina Cope funny how they had it for almost 200 years before people said anything. Probably cause Ronald Reagan was president
P&G. Much smaller than yesterday...
But much more profitable.
