This might be a dumb question but if so, it will not be my first or last. Does the Wrigley company still own the Cubs?

Wrigley owns Altoids...and I used to date a girl who did this thing with altoids

As far as sports go, it might effect Nascar more than anything else. Mars and Wrigley sponsor competing teams.

Since 1981, the Chicago Tribune has owned the Cubs. Don't feel bad, I had to look it up, myself

Tom, that is exactly what I was thinking when I asked the question, either Milky Way or M&M.
