That's right.  My brother boycotts Coke-owned products sporadically because
some of their sue-happy lawyers got after a smallish New York State wine
bottler named Taylor for using "their" trademark.  He didn't try to sell his
wine as Taylor Wine or anything (he uses the name "Bully Hill"), he just had
his signature on the bottle "So-and-so Taylor, Master of the Estate."  He
wasn't an upstart, the winery has been in the Taylor family for quite a long
time.

>They also apparently own a large portion of the orange groves down here

That's because Coke owns Minute Maid Orange Juice.
