The 10 Companies That Produce 90 Percent Of Our Food (Slideshow)

It's true, Pepsico own Fritos, Cheetos, Ruffles, Lays, and just about every other commercially produced potato or corn chip in the US. They also own Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W Restaurants. 

In addition to producing Coke, one of the most recognizable brands in the world, Coca-Cola also owns Minute Maid and Smart Water. 

If you thought Kraft was just cheese, think again. They own Jell-O, Oreo, Cadbury and Toblerone. Oddly enough, while Pepsi owns A&W Restaurants, Kraft owns the root beer brand itself. 

While Kraft may be behind your Cadbury Cream Egg, Nestle is the parent company of Loreal, Maybelline, Kiehl's, Yves St. Laurent, and Stella McCartney. 

The same company that gives us the miracle that is the Swiffer also makes Tide, Bounce, Gain, and Downy. Perhaps they make the clothes in your washing machine as well since they own Lacoste and Hugo Boss. 

Oddly enough, General Mills owns both Old El Paso, that Thursday taco night staple, and Häagen-Dazs, that Saturday night alone on the couch provision.   

In addition to having our stomach issues covered with brands like Rolaid, Pepsid, and Imodium, Johnson & Johnson also makes Splenda, aka that stuff your mother has convinced herself tastes exactly like sugar.  

In addition to M&Ms, Snickers, and Twix, Mars controls Uncle Ben's rice, Whiskas, and Pedigree. Let's hope the brands never get their wares confused. 

Unilever is the company that keeps us clean, producing Dove, AXE, St. Ives, Lever 2000, and Suave. But they also control Popsicle, Breyers, Klondike, Good Humor, and Ben & Jerry's. Again, let's hope they never have a mix-up at the packaging plant. 

Thank you, Kellogg, for keeping it simple. Whether you're into Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes, Muslix, or Raisin Bran, Kellogg has you covered. You can pop an Eggo in the toaster and grab a Nutri Grain for later content in the knowledge that brown, grain based foods is all Kellogg's does.
