30 Interesting Facts About The World Masterfully Crafted Into Visual Infographics

Amazing! Why did Romans switch everything in the other direction though?

The bottom few are the only acceptable ones on the list. Makes me embarrassed for Canada.

The date format is worse in Canada because it is supposed to be day/month/year but because of how much we trade with the US, you'll see a combination of the 2 formats being used. So fun trying to guess the date for the 1st-12th of the month

I wonder if OP has ever walked alone in a dark street under one of the "best" street lamps and hoped for her life that the next lamp would be working and then the next and then the next...

Well, we thank god the dragon flies are not tiger sized, dont we?!

Yeah we have a terrible system and its not likely to change anytime soon.

Poor Oscar "Unsinkable Sam" must have wondered why they kept bringing him back onto boats!

Seaports map looks so pleasant

Some Christians would disagree with you.

One thing they don't own is any kind of conscience, apparently...

At least twice I had the thought, "wow, that's a lot of companies...oh wait, there's more" as I slowly kept scrolling.

Getting away from their pet products was the hardest for me. I pay a lot more for pet food but I don't care. It's worth it.

Good to know which brands to boycut

That's why quality street isn't good anymore...

To the people commenting that they will no longer buy brands on this list, you do realize that on any given aisle in the grocery store, 95% of the brands are owned by just 2 or so companies, right?

Thankfully, I do not use any of these products because most of the ingredients are likely made of corn syrup, corn oil, and the tears of children.

This, and the fact that like 80 % of processed food is made by 4 or 5 companies that include and are similar to Nestlé makes me think - I don't want things to continue as they are. Naturally, my first shot would be to boycott companies acting in a way I don't approve of ... but, as these handful of companies are unlikely to suffer from a miniscule fraction of people boycotting them, may it be a more promising path to support what we consider better, even WITHIN such companies? After all, I don't care if Nestlé exists another 100 or 1000 years, I care about what they do and don't - a company, used to be evil, but now rid of all atrocities, but with a shidload of a criminal history, would certainly be better than one continuing to atrocitize the world around it ... boils down to - do we have a choice? Can we, with some prospect of success, attempt to boycott them into bankruptcy, or is boycotting AND supporting within the brands of the company, the more promising method of making large companies act as if they were humanist enterprises? I believe that boycotting is the actually working part of voting, in a capitalists society. Way more important than voting, but a lot more effort, you need. And, to have that clear - Nestlé sucks. Whatever issue there is with making food and other household material, Nestlé is among the largest culprits, and often that just enables being among the worst. Anyway, as nice as it sounds, it's unlikely to boycott billion-dollar-corps out of business, but is the attempt to spark change within them even more likely to succeed? I don't know, but just blindly supporting them as if there was nothing ... that's not really an option, is it?

…wow

So avoid these logos, got it!

Disappointed to see Ovaltine and San Pellegrino here - apart from the confectionery, I'm happy to say I don't buy too much from Nestlé!

We need a "trust buster" again.

It seems their only competition is themself.

Too bad it doesn't say what year was this inventory taken, because I bet it's outdated a lot. I know a lot more Nestle-owned Polish brands and even 10 years ago when I worked in marketing for them there was more...

I gave up my favorite pizza. Now I have to give up my favorite cat litter. But it will be worth it.

Other than Haagen Dazs don't participate with any of these products.

And they want to privatise world wide water...! That should make us all scream, "NO!!!".

Apparently I don't buy anything from Nestle

Why are you attacking Nestle?

yep, and as a consumer, you just TRY to avoid buying a product from this dreadful company!! you go ahead and try!!

Well, unfortunately I buy Nesquik and Haagan Dazs, and Shredded Wheat and the occasional Kit Kat

This is a helpful list to boycott them. Goodbye Abuelita.

Nestle suck

And I only know 🍫

Why would Nestle own Tombstone Pizza? It's a small, mediocre Wisconsin company with a mediocre product.

OMG

Most of it is junk food, to be avoided. But definitely avoid all the pet food they sell. Nothing but c**p fillers.

Sh!t my cats eat friskies, was feeling very smug till I saw that!

omg I love Abuelita.. It brings back memories

Like Rose told Jack in Titanic, "Just start from the outside and work your way in".

Fun fact, a Swedish hydraulics company was until 2010 named Nike Hydraulics. The other Nike once tried to make them change, but couldnt do anything due to the fact that the Swedish company had that name since 1924.

For me '89 version. Others are very nice too but that one for the win.

Most large economies export their trash to these "highest polluters". The USA sold millions of tons of trash to the Philippines in 2020, most of which ends up in the ocean and the US doesn't have to take any responsibility for their own waste.

Journalist student here, I wasn't sure what I wanted and it was very diverse, also I always loved writing. Do I regret it? No, it was interesting and really fun adventure as we worked for local radio and did many fun projects. Was it useful for my future career? Also no xD

No surprise that the top 3 were or are run by sociopaths

I'm surprised Schindler's List isn't higher. Does this list account for inflation?

I miss the look of cars in the fifties- seventies. Not the pollution though. All those white, grey, black cars are so boring. Ours is bright blue and I never have problems to find it at the parking lot 😀
