13 Small Eco Brands That Are Actually Owned By Giant Corporations

I said I'm sorry baby I'm leaving you tonight
I found someone new, he's waitin' in the car outside
Ah honey how could you do it
We swore each other everlasting love
I said well yeah I know but when we did;
There was one thing we weren't
Thinking of and that's money

Money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doin'
That don't mean a thing
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

They shake your hand and they smile
And they buy you a drink
They say we'll be your friends
We'll stick with you till the end
Ah but everybody's only
Looking out for themselves
And you say well who can you trust
I'll tell you it's just
Nobody else's money

Money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
You think you know what you're doin'
We don't pull the strings
It's all in the past now
Money changes everything

Money, money changes everything
I said money, money changes everything
We think we know what we're doing
We don't know a thing
It's all in the past now

Money changes everything
Money changes everything
Money changes everything, money changes everything, money changes everything, money changes everything



Edited to add: If you've been wondering why it's become easier to find certain "natural" brands in mainstream stores, this is why. When the company is owned by a multinational corporation, they have the ability to find space on store shelves for some of these Eco products.

It definitely can be a double-edged sword when a small company is bought out by a massive corporation, and it's doubly bad if they mess with the success of what made the products desirable. I chuckled at the Tom's of Maine complaints about "everything" to do with changes to the products. :D I didn't know Dagoba chocolate was owned by Hershey.
 
I knew of a few of those, but wasn't aware of most. It sucks when a big corporation buys out a favourite smaller one with awesome vegan products. But I don't tend to boycott over it - if I did, I'd be boycotting just about everything because of this:

Damn capitalism.
