As goes Godiva (PhillyInc)

As goes Godiva

Campbell Soup Co.'s (NYSE: SOUP) announcement that it wants to unload its Godiva chocolate subsidiary got us wondering: Who else around Philly has taken diversification a little too far? One that springs, or at least crawls, to mind is Mace Security International Inc. (NASDAQ: MACE), which has hopped from security products to car washes and now to interactive online marketing. As they say in High School Musical: "No, No, No, No, Stick to the stuff you know." (Blame my 7-year-old daughter for that one). Got a good one? Let us know. (By the way, this Hoover's site will let you do limited searches to find corporate subsidiaries and divisions.)
