Funny, but Taco Bell is already a subsidiary of "Yum! Foods Incorporated" who is a terrible company to work for and owns TB, KFC, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, and A&W.

Fun fact the cinnamon sugar on Pizza Hut products is the same cinnamon sugar on those bullshit fake churro bites at Taco Bell, even comes in a Taco Bell branded box and everything.

I was making a joke reference to the movie Demolition Man. I recommend checking it out if you haven't.

They really should make a movie about the Franchise Wars

Will do, thanks! Definitely got that it was a joke, but did not get the reference. Think of my comment as more of the comedic straight man than actually serious lol, I knew you didn't really think TB would own everything!

Who is the parent organization of Yum! Brands? That would be PepsiCo

Spun off in ‘97 I guess but that’s not really the same as selling from my understanding

Edit: they are legally distinct entities that answer to largely the same shareholders after some research

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think PepsiCo owns Yum!, at least not in the same way Yum! owns the aforementioned subsidiaries.

In any case, I still see it as unlikely that Taco Bell will become the owner of everything, doubly so if it is owned by "Yum! which is owned by PepsiCo" rather than just "owned by Yum!" as that is just another layer down for Taco Bell they'd have to climb out of, just to be owned by themselves, before they can start buying companies to own.
