Pepsico... Tricon... YUM

It's so hard to keep up with the changes. I've been thinking for a long time that Pizza Hut and KFC and Taco Bell were owned by Pepsi. I guess that changed back in 1997. I need a chart; no, I need a really big Venn diagram showing who owns what. I'll go looking.

Oligopoly Watch:
Tricon began life as a spin-off form Pepsico in 1997. The thought was that the returns were lower in the restaurant business that Pepsi had acquired over the previous decades. In 2002, The spin-of has been beneficial for both entities. Tricon changed its name to the comical name Yum! Brands, which was based on its stock exchange symbol (YUM).
