Is There A Qualitative Moat?

Is There A Qualitative Moat?

I’d be willing to bet that few are aware of the titanic conglomerate that is The Clorox Company (ticker CLX). I as well just recently discovered their longtime ownership of the “Hidden Valley Ranch” company ever since their full-acquisition took place in 1972. The most amusing aspect of this? They disguise the bottle under what feels like a pseudonymous subsidiary “The HV Food Products Company,” further emphasizing the fact that they are (as far as I know) not manufacturing these ranch foodstuffs in the same factory as Clorox Bleach and other cleaning chemicals. My mom was even drawing comparisons to an SNL sketch where a bouncy ball is manufactured by an ordinary chemical company. 🤣
