Alright, I'm going to be different and go with Coca-Cola Company (KO). KO has tons of great brands including Coke, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Dasani, Vitaminwater, Poweraide and Minutemaid. They have a dividend growth streak of 51 years! They have a 10 year compounded annual dividend growth rate of just under 10%, a 10 year compounded annual EPS growth rate around 9%, similar story with net income and sales growth.
They have a great balance sheet and wonderful historical operating results. If they can continue this into the future (and why doubt that they can since they have been doing this for many many years) then shareholders should be very happy with the results of investing in this company. Only thing I don't like that much is the dividend yield is slightly lower than 3%. But I'll let that slide since they are such a great company!
