Numerous famous American brand names now are companies owned by foreigners.
Budweiser belongs to a Dutch company. Alka Seltzer belongs to a German company.
Firestone belongs to a Japanese company. The magazines Car and Driver and Woman's Day are owned by a French company. Gerber baby food and Purina dog food belong to Swiss companies. Hellman's Mayonnaise and Ben &
Jerry's ice cream belong to UK companies. Many thousands of former US companies have moved into foreign control as a result of the US trade deficit, which is swollen by the offshored production of US corporations.
Not Tom and Jerry's....?
