Gonna do a thread of all the companies I can think of that are owned by the same people that you might’ve thought were competitors. 🙏🏾
I’ll start with this trio which in my eyes is all the same thing now 😂. Old Navy is the cheapest, then gap, then BR, they’ve covered all bases.
This one is pretty cool too. Chaps is basically just cheaper Polo. Honestly you get no shame for rocking this in my eyes. USPA and Beverly Hills is still unacceptable. Didn’t know about Club Monaco tho.
Perry Ellis owns too many brands for me to list which is funny because I think their clothes are the worst. But Penguin, Natural Issue etc have surprisingly nice clothes.
Wow. My next one was going to be about Izod and Lacoste being the same thing but I myself just made a new discovery 😰
So Izod ended up getting sold and is now owned by Van Heusen (PVH) who also owns Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, so one could say, they’re all the same 😂.
I’ll switch it up for a bit so Nissan & Infiniti are the same company. So think of the G37 / Q60 as a Luxury 370Z.
Bruh, so hopefully you knew that Volkswagen owns Audi which is just their luxury brand. But did you know they own Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, and Bentley? So yeah my Jetta is a mini whatever I want it to be that day 😂.
Toyota & Lexus are the same thing. If you drive a Camry it’s just a cheaper ES350 🙏🏾.
Now listen, I don’t like Acura’s at all. But they’re just Honda’s Luxury Brand. Hopefully you’re noticing a trend.
Which is funny because Hyundai being late to the game as you’d expect waited until like 2016 to create their luxury brand “Genesis” based on the Genesis car... came a long way real quick though.
Kraft owns so many brands that I can’t cover them all but I think it’s funny how they own Heinz and A1 Steak Sauce but choose to overlap products to give fake choice.
Mondelez is a company I am very jealous of. If you read about them they just “appeared” in 2012 and “acquired” all these brands from Kraft. I wish I could have been in one of them meetings man 😂.
Of course it was a decision from Kraft to split into two companies. Then merge with Heinz. All complicated but calculated. Sour Patches are made by the same folks who prolly make your ketchup, your cookies, your cheese. It’s nuts 😂
So Mars owns a lot more brands than I thought too. I always knew Starburst & Skittles were blood brothers and M&Ms were they’re cousin but Uncle Bens?
I leave you where we started, apparel. Bet you didn’t know Hanes and Champion are all the same. Get you a Beefy T king they real nice.
