2 Consumer Stocks That Turned $250 Into Over $1 Million

Investing legend Peter Lynch once wrote that individual investors can beat the market if you "invest in what you know." That adage is certainly true for certain household name brands, and proof that one doesn't necessarily need to put all their money behind a high-flying technology stock to get market-beating returns. In fact, if you happen to use a certain product or service day in and day out -- and love using it -- chances are, it's going to be a winning stock over time.

Don't believe me? Check out these two widely known, extremely popular consumer brands that have successfully turned $250 (or less) into $1 million (or more!).
