More on Newman's Own
Description from Wikipedia:
Newman's Own is a food company and for-profit corporation founded by actor Paul Newman and author A. E. Hotchner in 1982. Newman received all of the profits from product sales, and then he donated 100% of the proceeds, after taxes, to various educational and charitable organizations of his own selection. In 1982, Newman summarised his initial intentions regarding distribution of his company's profits:
"My profits will be divided between a number of tax-deductible charities and causes, some church-related, others for conservation and ecology and things like that".
The brand started with homemade salad dressing that Newman and Hotchner had prepared, and given to friends as gifts. The successful reception of that salad dressing led Newman and Hotchner to commercialise that item for sale. From that initial food item, made with USD $40,000 of Newman's own funds as seed money, the product offerings have expanded to include pasta sauce, iced tea, lemonade, limeade, fruit cocktail juices, popcorn, pretzels, salsa, cookies, coffee, grape juice, dog food, cat food, and other offerings. Newman's Own Limeade was introduced in 2004. The sketch of Newman that is found on the labels of each product bottle was created by a young fan from Boston. While Newman was filming The Verdict in the area, a young girl gave him a sketch which she had drawn, and it has been used ever since. Each label features a picture of Newman, dressed in a different costume to represent the product. The company incorporated humour into its label packaging, as in the label for its first salad dressing in 1982, "Fine Foods Since February".
