You probably all remember the merger of Exxon and Mobile back in the 90's but you probably aren't that familiar with the mergers that I've included below. Using the gracious clues I've given, identify these soon-to-be-famous company mergers. As a result of the merger, each company takes on a bit of the other.

Example: hotel chain / money transfer company = Best Western Union

-1. variety store chain / food products company
-2. childrens store / modem manufacturer
-3. motor oil company / insurance company
-4. communications company / investment company
-5. tax service company / video game and video rental company
-6. credit card company / mail-order pharmacy
-7. compressor company / maps and directions company
-8. media and entertainment company / film studio
-9. environmental protection organization / world's largest producer of paper cups
-10. fast food company / research company
