I see I was wrong on Oceanic Airlines. In any event, you’ll never get me on one of their planes; they seem to get hijacked and/or crash a lot.
Dinoco actually orginated in Toy Story- its use as a sponsor in Cars is a typical Pixar callback.

If no one’s answered mine in the next few days, I’ll post the answers.
Happy Time Temporary Agency - Dead Like Me (is this the original?)
It is. There was a shout-out in the first 2nd season episode of Pushing Daisies, as well, which is why I specified.
Here are the origins of some I’d earlier posted but which hadn’t already been ID’d by others:
Dytallix Mining Co. - Star Trek: The Next Generation (mentioned in one episode as owning an entire planet)
Parallax Corp. - corporate baddies from the movie The Parallax View
Wo and Shade - an alien boutique in George R.R. Martin’s wonderful short story “Sandkings”
Fevre River Packet Co. - steamboat company in Martin’s equally good vampire novel Fevre Dream
Harriman Industries - powerful multinational firm from several Robert H. Heinlein short stories, most notably “The Man Who Sold the Moon”
Five Continents Imports - CIA front from the movie Three Days of the Condor
Connex - gigantic oil company from Syriana
Starslip - starliner company from Martin’s novel Tuf Voyaging
