I was founded in 1868 on a salt dome island in Louisiana by a guy who made a sauce out of peppers from Mexico or Central America and French wine vinegar. Legend has it that he first packaged the product in used perfume bottles. In 1892, he founded a bird colony on the island to protect egrets that were being killed for their decorative feathers. He soon added plant life, and today his famed Jungle Gardens and Bird City attract visitors from all over the world. Each of my 2-ounce red bottles contains at least 720 drops. Who am I?

Last Week's Trivia Answer:

I trace my roots to a British soap-maker in the 1890s. Today, I am a global food and hygiene leader. I am the world's largest maker of ice cream, with U.S. brands that include Ben & Jerry's and Breyers. Some of my 400 brands include Axe, Bertolli, Caress, Country Crock, Degree, Dove, Hellmann's, Klondike, Knorr, Lipton, Popsicle, Promise, Q-Tips, Skippy, Slim-Fast, Suave, Sunsilk and Vaseline.
