Guess The Equity

I receive junk mail share tips from Motley Fool and usually try and guess which equity they are tipping from the clues they give. I am a bit stuck on one of this mornings "recommendations":

An Irish firm that enjoys a 37% market share in the UK
The product is sold through all major supermarkets
The firm has agreed to supply an American chain

    If that information is in the public domain then it is too late. This is the problem with share tips. By the time joe public in general is given a tip, the event has happened.

    I could be a large number of companies. From recent reports all major companies suddenly seem to have become "Irish".

    Are they big in Bananas?
    I would have guessed a different fruit, although I don't know if that company with its over-priced, over-hyped, shiny tat with all its 'genius' employees supplies supermarkets.
    IANAL etc.

    I thought I was the only one that had that view on the Doctor antidote.

    My guess is for C&C Group - makers of Magner's cider - although I don't think the company is half as good as the product it makes.
    Old dog but always delighted to learn new tricks!
