The Quiz: Which actor and race car driver became the face of his own food brand?
Paul Newman
Jeff Gordon
Dale Earnhardt

In 1982, movie star Paul Newman founded Newman’s Own, a small company that began with homemade salad dressings. He gifted the dressings to friends in reused wine bottles. Soon, the idea of starting a philanthropic company took shape, and Newman decided he would give away 100% of his profits from the new brand. Today, Newman’s Own has a broad portfolio of food items and still gives away all of its profits to charity. The brand’s logo is unmistakable, featuring Newman’s smiling face on every bottle.
The correct answer to this quiz is Paul Newman.
