Alka-Seltzer
Alka-Seltzer is known to be one of the oldest branded medicines in the world. Dr. Miles Medicine Company (now known as Miles Laboratory), started to sell pain relief and antacid drinks way back in 1931. While the company has been American for a long time, a German company called Bayer but Alka-Seltzer in 1978. Bayer has a reputation for sticking around the biggest pharmaceutical companies around the globe. In 2004, they also made a deal with GlaxoSmithKline to improve the sales of Levitra with the use of the “Strike Up A Conversation” tag line.
The Chrysler Building
Known as one of the most iconic structures in the New York skyline, a lot of people were surprised at the storey ran by The Wall Street Journal about the sale of the Chrysler Building in 2019. However, the building has not been in American hands for quite some time now. The Abu Dhabi Investment Council bought most of the ownership for $800 million in 2008. It was later bought by an Austrian company called SIGNA for $150 million a decade after that.
