This reminded me of the odd fact that Volkswagen also produces their own sausage and ketchup:

- nom 6y agoOh that's cool! It's not so odd if you look at the history, owning your own food supply chain was the only way to supply large amounts of food for your factory workers back then. Daimler-Benz for example had pig farms, slaughterhouses etc close to their factories up until the 60s. Today food is abundant, so it's nice to see that VW carries on a tradition.
