Lipton appears twice on this chart. Did that slip past the editors? Makes you wonder if any other brands on the chart are in the wrong place. I don't have time to check them all.

Edit: I don't think L'Oreal is owned by Nestle either.

Sadly while the chart has significant problems and is misleading in some of the relationships, it is more accurate than the article it appears in, if you zoom in you can see some annotations in the article that give partial context to some of the claims.

Apparently Nestle is one of the largest single shareholders in L'Oreal, the chart has a 30% mark in the connection.

I assume that's the reason for Lipton showing up twice, where there are companies that are co-owned or part of a joint venture (I would guess Pepsico licenses and distributes Lipton Iced Tea)

A&W is listed twice as well, by separate companies.
