Don't think I've seen it. There must be one there.

Unfortunately, Restaurants Brands International, is well.. International.
They are based in Canada and thus not included on the Fortune 500. This happened when they took over [redacted].

In addition, if they were American, they would have placed just slightly outside the top 500, at ~527th. Tough beat.

I have this problem as well though maybe not as severe.

All other guesses were correct, and we roll on with no eliminations this round.
Pwns does however join Bolt and Arctic at 1 off elim. Be careful all!

Karma also sets the record for 'worst pick that is still valid'. I can't decide if that should make you happy or sad.

If you mean guesses, yes. But as they include companies that are [redacted] they will be at the end of the game.

If you mean the company it self, yes, but I'm debating now vs end of game. I think its super unlikely anyone guesses the company, but it is still [redacted] so probably shouldn't reveal it till the end.

Is it [redacted]?

I doubt it, but if its not that it has to be [redacted], and I can't see that.

People are welcome to PM me guesses if they want for shits and grins.

I'll also have a short free for all for some trivia items at the end of the game.
