I was surprised by so many brands now being owned by US giant Simplot.

Birds Eye – Frozen vegetables, frozen fish, frozen meals, hot chips

Edgell – Canned vegetables, frozen vegetables, beans, corn, hot chips

Leggo's – Pasta sauces, tomato paste, pasta, cooking sauces (featured in the doco)

John West – Canned tuna, salmon, canned seafood, frozen seafood

Chiko – Chiko Rolls and frozen snack foods

Harvest – Shelf-stable meals, canned meals, cooking ingredients

I&J – Frozen seafood

Captain's Catch – Frozen seafood

Chicken Tonight – Cooking sauces

Raguletto – Pasta sauces and pasta products

Five Brothers – Pasta sauces

Seakist – Canned tuna and seafood

Ally – Canned seafood

Providore d'Italia – Italian-style sauces

Top Sail – Seafood products

And then this guff on the Simplot website: “ Our products have to be Australian sourced. Customers want to see that we are supporting the Australian business.” hmmm

    I agree with WhatAmLenny. It might use the same data source but the way information is presented is a lot more usable. Case in point - when it’s going to rain, it gives you a pretty accurate “rain is going to start in x minutes” and a graph of how heavy it will be.

    It’s not just about the raw data but how people consume it.

    Haha this was good fun.

    They reel out of the sky at you like they’re barrelling out of a nightclub bathroom wearing a floral shirt open to the navel, beaks atwitch, roaring a garbled query that sounds disturbingly like: “What did you just say to me?”
