Brand ownership can get super weird.

Heinz is an American company. Daddies, which is a very British brand, is now owned by Heinz too, so is also American.

On the other hand Helmann's (of both mayo and ketchup providence) is an American brand which is now owned by Unilever...so technically British.

Tell me about it! I spent waaaay too much time in the store today, looking up the incestuous corporate relationships.

Also, TIL I learned that I need reading glasses :(
