Cannings Foods Limited was a Trinidad and Tobago company founded in 1912 by Ernest Canning, a British-born businessman. The enterprise began as a grocery store. Then it introduced dairy products (including ice cream), baked goods, poultry processing, and soft drinks. Cannings acquired the Coca-Cola franchise for Trinidad in 1939. The supermarket HiLo, started in 1950, was the first self-service store in Trinidad and Tobago. Cannings was taken over by Neal and Massy in 1975.〔Daniel Miller, "Coca-Cola: A black sweet drink from Trinidad", in Daniel Miller, ed., ''Material Cultures: Why Some Things Matter'' (Routledge, 2002), ISBN 978-1135361631, pp. 173-175. (Excerpts available ) at Google Books.〕 In the 1990s, the Cannings Group ceased to operate - with the exception of the HiLo supermarket. The Cannings soft drink brand was sold to Coca Cola, and continues to be produced. Cannings, and its relationship with Coca-Cola, are treated in fictionalized (and renamed) fashion in V. S. Naipaul's 1967 novel ''The Mimic Men''.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cannings Foods Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
