    Sure they do own many companies. I just dont think its impossible, as I steer clear of anything nestle. Sometimes I grab something new and sounds interesting like the Vegan products by Gourmet Garden and just putting it quickly back as I saw nestles logo printed on the back.

    It takes a bit of discipline.

      I think you're missing the point I was making. There's a lot of Nestlé products that don't have their logo anywhere on the packaging because it's instead made by a company Nestlé owns

      Lol, no, you don't understand. Companies (literally millions of them) own many other companies that they never put any logo on or anything. For an outside of Nestle example, check out this list of companies owned by Kroger that you will never find anything labeled by Kroger inside of:

      https://www.kroger.com/i/kroger-family-of-companies

      Also this list may be VERY incomplete because it's hosted by Kroger and they have no obligation to give the entire truth here.

        Food 4 Less, Ralph's, and Jay C Foods all have Kroger brand foods on their shelves. Not sure about the rest as I haven't shopped at the rest of those stores. Also they are attempting to acquire Albertson's.

        I've never seen Kroger nor any of that companies. Do they sell in Germany?

        And if the umbrella company is proud of thier products they bought, of course they put their label on it or state it somewhere. Where else would be the point of it? Brand recognition and all.

          Kroger is a grocery store chain in the US, I suspect they don't operate in Germany but I might be wrong.

          They basically are or own many different grocery store chains across most of the US.

      "It takes a bit of discipline."

      Also, you should work on your tone, speaking like you're holier than thou is already cringe, but when you're wrong it just makes you look like a big idiot.

        Yes it does take a bit of discipline. And no, I dont think I'm holier than thou.

        I don't think they were saying it ONLY takes a bit of discipline. To me, the charitable interpretation is, they're saying that they see something new they want, and see the nestle logo, and the act of denying the want takes discipline.

        You're both right, of course. It DOES take discipline to always put back the nestle-labeled goods, and there are MANY nestle-subsidiary-owned items that don't have a nestle logo in sight

        Edit: ok, a bit lower hea def being holier than thou a bit lol
