Tequila

One of the most popular beverages worldwide, tequila is a very distinct tasting liquor that takes care and time to produce. The drink is&nbsp;made from the blue agave plant found near the Mexican city of the same name. Some consider tequila to be one of the truest forms of alcohol due to its highly potent nature. Jimadores, the harvesters of the agave plant, trim piñas from the ground at their peak ripeness to be baked, mashed, and then put in stills to ferment. This becomes tequila, the go-to drink for parties where everyone's looking to get a little wild.As harvesting practices and fermentation times vary, each tequila producer comes up with a tequila that taste slightly different from another's. This leaves the drinker with many options to consider when trying to choose good tequila. For those of you who have very particular booze preferences, types of tequila&nbsp;matter. Should you go with a tequila blanco, like the varieties produced Milagros, Avion, and El Espolon? Or maybe a more traditional tequila like Patrón, Cazadores, Herrudura, or Hornitos?What are some high rated <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-expensive-tequila-brands/werner-brandes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">top shelf tequila</a> companies? This list is to help determine which tequilas are the best tasting out there - all through votes from Ranker users who have actually imbibed!&nbsp;Vote up your favorite, and vote down the ones that just miss the mark.

Fictional Places

For many films, TV shows, and video games, made-up corporations are a key element of the story. For classic cartoons, an ever-present company can provide every conceivable product for limitless possibilities for jokes. In&nbsp;most of our favorite sci-fi movies, the greed of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-evil-corporations-in-science-fiction-movies-tv/zach-seemayer" target="_blank">evil corporations</a> is a major driving point of the story; for example,&nbsp;Weyland-Yutani was as important a part of the Alien franchise as the xenomorphs. But have you have stopped to wonder how profitable these iconic fictional companies actually are?&nbsp;

We took some of our favorite concocted companies and tried to work out their values based on market capitalization, which is simply&nbsp;the figure&nbsp;you arrive at&nbsp;when multiplying&nbsp;all the outstanding shares of a stock by the price of a single share. In other words - the company&#39;s value on&nbsp;the stock market. The number of shares usually depends on the size of the company, but can vary greatly (Amazon has a little more than 500 million, while Nokia has more than 5 billion), while a new venture will have just a few thousand. In this list, share prices are loosely based on the nearest real-life equivalent, while the total value takes into account the time period, economy, and assets of the company in the world(s) in which they&#39;re set.&nbsp;

This collection looks at some of our favorite fictional companies, great and small, and poses the question: which ones would offer the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-bang-for-your-buck-brands/werner-brandes?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best bang for your buck</a>? Would you be willing to overlook some of the companies&#39; shadier aspects to turn a profit? What&#39;s a little viral outbreak/class-action lawsuit/security breach&nbsp;when there are handsome dividends in the offering?&nbsp;

Consumers would <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/companies-that-survived-scandals/will-morgan-1">like to believe the products they buy are safe</a>. But as voluntary or forced recalls of countless products have proven over the years, even the most innocuous-looking items can have hidden dangers. Some are the result of negligence&nbsp;(e.g., <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/exploding-ford-pinto/tracey-graham">exploding Ford Pintos</a>) or deliberate intent (e.g., the Tylenol and Excedrin poisonings), while others occur despite the manufacturer implementing safety precautions.And some products, like the tainted infant formula in China or the morning sickness remedy thalidomide, can have horrifying consequences that last long after the products are pulled from circulation. Many items - from toys that pose suffocation hazards to furniture that tips easily -&nbsp;can be especially dangerous to small children.When a product recall goes public, it can frighten&nbsp;or panic consumers. The items below are some of the scarier recalls in recent history.

Some, like Subway's cofounder, were still in their teens when they opened their first restaurant. Others landed in the food industry only after working in others.&nbsp;A handful of these classic businesses are still owned by family members of the original founder/s. Others were sold off long ago.
