GP exaggerated but I have experiences looking say for a bottle of water or ice cream cone that is not Nestle and failing (not in US)

You can just Google "ice cream brands market share" and learn that Nestle has nothing resembling a monopoly on ice cream. The 5 top brand owners
combined
represent less than 1/3 of the market.

Monopoly is an exaggeration but it's little solace knowing it when the store doesn't stock anything else...

I did in fact look at the linked page, and Nestle doesn't own anything resembling half the grocery products in my grocery store.
