Company History

Do you know what these famous companies actually started out doing? Some of them are pretty interesting. I got 6/12.

Re Company History

A whopping 2 out of 12!

I got Corning and IBM right, and that's it. How could anyone miss the Corning one?!

7 out of 12. Not bad for a series of educated guesses.

Re Company History

7/12, but I got 11/12 for the corporate slogans -- wasted childhood, no doubt.
