Formally known as Philip Morris, Altria produces Marlboro cigarettes and is the largest investor in vaping giant Juul. In 2003, they rebranded in the United States as Altria so they could, well, plonk their logo in the vicinity of Bluey in a way they couldn’t plonk a Philip Morris logo near him, without everyone yapping and snarling.
