The conglomerate fad of the 60s led to some bizarre combinations.
ITT Inc. for example had:
- ITT Tech (a for-profit technical school that used to advertise relentlessly)
- Wonder Bread & Twinkie
- Avis Rent-A-Car
- The Hartford insurance
- Starwood Hotels
- Sheraton Hotels
They also made night vision goggles, HVAC systems, and phone switching equipment.
At one point they also tried to buy ABC (the TV channel).
