Lionsgate Films

Activision

\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1979, Activision Publishing, Inc., was the world’s first independent developer and distributor of video games for gaming systems. You can thank them for introducing you to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Guitar Hero, the James Bond series, and Crash Bandicoot, among many others.

\n\n\n\n

Impulse! Records

\n\n\n\n

Legendary saxophonist and composer John Coltrane was one of this jazz record label’s first signees. The company is now a subsidiary of Universal Music Group’s jazz holdings.

Fatburger

\n\n\n\n

In 1942, Lovie Yancey lovingly named a burger joint after her boyfriend–calling it “Mr. Fatburger.” She dropped the “Mr.” in 1952, and slowly grew an empire–Fatburger now exists in 20 countries, and is known for its celebrity partnerships with Queen Latifah, Kanye West and E-40.

\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Hulu
