Tell me if these are brands or companies: Kleenex, Procter & Gamble, Cadillac, Doritos, Chase?

Procter & Gamble is a company.  Procter & Gamble owns many brands.  One famous brand of Procter & Gamble is Crest.

Cadillac is a brand.  The Cadillac brand is owned by General Motors.

Doritos is a brand.  Doritos is one of the brands of Frito-Lay, a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo.  

Chase is a company.  To be very specific, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., is a company  doing business as Chase. 

I hope this list helps you!
