TIL General Electric Appliances, Hoover, Fisher & Paykel, Aqua, Hotpoint, Leader, and Candy are all owned by the same company.

Sad, isn’t it? For fun, look up Whirlpool, Albertsons, and Kroger on Wikipedia to see all the brands they own. No wonder prices are high when so much competition has been eliminated.

For the Europeans, look up AEG, Bauknecht, Electrolux, Liebherr…sad story as well. And one hell of a case for rampant capitalism running amok…
