Jason's summer internship at Kraft in Zurich

When one's son has a summer internship at Kraft Foods in Zurich, one learns that Kraft Foods owns Toblerone, TUC crackers, Suchard, Milka chocolate, Hollywood gum, Trident gum, Lu (e.g. Petit Beurre & Prince cookies), Oreos, Nabisco and they bought Cadbury in February as well. They don't only sell cream cheese and macaroni & cheese.

Zurich is the European headquarters; Kraft is the largest confectionery, food, and beverage corporation headquartered in the United States and the second-largest in the world (after Nestlé). It used to be owned by a cigarette company, but since 2007 has been independent (was spun off). Glad to hear that. They also make Grape-Nuts, Naked Drinks, Planters nuts, Ritz & Triscuit crackers, and....Vegemite. Amongst other things I'd rather not think about (like Velveeta).

Jason's enjoying his job despite the long commute by public transportation (he's been leaving at 7:15am to walk and then ride the bus, train, and tram, brave soul!). He has a desk, a laptop, a real badge that opens doors and can be charged up with money to pay for his lunches in the subsidized cafeteria...which has served him interesting and tasty things like watermelon juice...
