            If you dig back enough, literally every Japanese corpo roots go to some usury house or gambling den in Edo period. Or worse, to aristocratic family. Or both.

          You could write a story about a samurai and cowboy playing with Nintendo cards and drinking Coke and it would be historically accurate.

        Far as I know, they still make sewing machines; they just don’t sell them in the States.

        Lamborghini started out making tractors.

        My parents had a Mitsubishi television about 15 years ago.

        Coleco started life as the Connecticut Leather Company.

        And it’ll never fail to amuse me how Michelin tells you where to find the best restaurants on the planet.

          Michelin tells you where the best restaurants are so you can drive to them on their tires ;)

          Guinness started the world record book to settle bar bets.
