Wall-E paints a dystopian future where the company Buy n Large has taken over the marketplace and government. Looking at the way large corporations acquire smaller companies, that kind of all-powerful business may not be that far off. The 10 companies in this quiz are owned by 10 even larger ones. Can you match the subsidiary to its parent company?
Take the Quiz: Who owns that company?

the NBC deal has not gone through yet so Comcast does not own it, probably not for another year or two because of the approval process. Until then it is owned by GE. (Or the Sheinhardt Wig Company if you follow 30 rock!)
