Well not everything, but almost. They all pay a dividend. Getting into a basket of these stocks when div yields creep up may be a good idea.

Too bad Mars is a private company. There's only two types of food, Snickers & everything else.
I'd like to get my hands on them too. I just own one from the list (JNJ).
Wow, great infographic. Marking for future reference.
I thought this article on Seeking Alpha was interesting as well.

On the way up, sure.
My blackjack play over the last 3 months has out performed these stocks.
Cool, I own 7 of these, nuts!
PG, YUM, KO, K, GIS, PEP, and UL
KO being my largest position but it's still relatively small.
I've been watching KRFT and MDLZ, might buy some later this year.

No, they do not underperform if your metric is current dividend yield. They outperform by a lot.
