Budweiser
Some people believe that you can’t get much more American than this when it comes to drinking beers. It’s possible that it’s been confirmed in the past. Even though it was founded in Missouri and the word “America” is still printed on the container, the truth is that this is no longer an American corporation.

InBev, a Belgian beer behemoth, bought this company for 52 billion dollars in 2008. It may have had a strong past relationship with the United States, but we can’t say the same for its future. Regardless, we are grateful that the parent company did not alter the original formula in any way. It tastes exactly the same as it did before!
Hellman’s
Mayonnaise is probably Hellman’s most well-known product. There’s a good chance you have a jar in your fridge right now. Richard Hellmann came up with his recipe in 1905 when he introduced a slightly different version of a French condiment to the American market.

Customers raved about it so much that he decided to sell it on his own. In 1932, Best Foods bought the company and ran it for the next 70 years. In the year 2000, Unilever bought Hellman’s for a staggering $20.3 billion. For a simple dip made in New York City, this isn’t bad at all!
