Frisps - made by KP - owned by Intersnack Group GmbH & Co, which isn't publicly traded

Heron Foods - owned by B&M European Value Retail SA, LON:BME - so that's our first stock

So far I'm calling it 'the NHOTW 1'. Further product suggestions welcomed.

Who makes Special Brew these days?

The Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company Limited, whose shares are privately held 40:60 by Marstons PLC (LON:MARS) and Carlsberg A/S (CPH:CARL-B).

So I propose to add those two public companies to the index, appropriately weighted.

Market news: the NHOTW 3 index remained steady on Friday at 100. Traders said this was due to the fact that Friday was its first day.

What about birdseed, cuttlebone and birdy toys?

Trill is owned by Mars Inc, which isn't publicly listed. And in any case the word on the street is that Trill isn't good quality seed, so perhaps PrincessBorgles doesn't buy it for his birdies.

It's too expensive. They get that stuff from Pets at Home, Wilko or that local pet shop whichever I was nearest to when I last went somewhere.

Pets at Home Group PLC (LON:PETS) has been duly added to the all-new NHOTW 4 Index.

Which company makes the best/cheapest curry powder?

TRS?

Natco?

The Natco brand is operated by Natco Foods Ltd, which is owned by T.Choithram & Sons(London) Ltd, which is owned by T. Choithram International S.a., which as far as I can work out is a private offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands, so its shares if any aren't publicly traded.

TRS -> TRS Foods Ltd -> Exponent Private Equity

Further suggestions welcome.

As I post so much about my storage units I'm adding Safestore Holdings plc LON:SAFE to the index, which shall now be called the NHOTW 5 Index.
