Now Here's A Trademark Suit.

Does anyone else find it mildly confusing that there is Dove soap and Dove chocolate? I mean they're both called bars, yet anyone who is trying to buy one will be upset if they get home to find they accidentally grabbed the other. "Alright, I ate my asparagus and metamucil time to reward myself with a big bite of.... ewww." Or "Whew, I'm all stinky I'd better lather up with my new... ewww."

Normally it seems like two companies with this type of issue would be up to each other's throats in litigation sauce, but not so for these peaceful barmakers. Good job guys! Lets all just hope that Dove doesn't come out with a white chocolate; or a brown soap.

unilever (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unilever) owns dove soaps brand....
Mars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars%2C_Incorporated) owns Dove chocolate...

but watch out for unilever pushing Ben and Jerry's dove (ice) cream... or klondike-doves... (both unilever food brands)
