Life Savers is owned by Mars Inc, and is produced by Wrigley's (in the US), Nestle (Canada), and Darrell Lea (Aus).

I imagine 'life savers' has branched out to other kinds of candies, y know, for the profits

Edit: here's an infographic that shows who owns what lol it's fucked

It's even worse if you expand it beyond confectionary. Good chance Mars makes your dog food.

Under Nestle there's Fancy Feast and Purina. The infographic has quite a few non-food items. But yeah I haven't spotted dog food, and quite a few items are missing
