Kraft is not alone in taking steps to enter the metaverse; many other food companies have as well.
Recently, Subway, Hooters, Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, Panera Bread, McDonald’s, Wingstop, Panda Express, Tyson Foods, Carl’s Jr., and others, have already filed trademark applications to concretize their intentions to enter the metaverse and NFT space.
