Don't forget that Pepsi owns (or used to) Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut.

I prefer......

Pepsi associations:

Partnerships
PepsiCo also has formed partnerships with several brands it does not own, in order to distribute these or market them with its own brands.

Elma Chips, leader of the Brazilian chip’s market
Frappuccino
Starbucks DoubleShot
Starbucks Iced Coffee
Mandarin (license)
D&G (license)
Lipton Brisk
Lipton Original Iced Tea
Lipton Iced Tea
Ben & Jerry’s Milkshakes
Dole juices & juice drinks (license)
Sunny Delight (produced by PepsiCo for Procter & Gamble)

Former brands
PepsiCo owned a number of restaurant chains until it exited that business in 1997, selling some, and spinning off others into a new company Tricon Global Restaurants, now known as Yum! Brands, Inc.. PepsiCo also previously owned several other brands that it later sold.

California Pizza Kitchen (bought 1992, sold back to original founders in 1997)
Chevys Fresh Mex (bought August 1993, sold May 1997 to J. W. Childs Equity Partners)
D’Angelo Sandwich Shops (sold August 1997 to Papa Gino’s)
East Side Mario’s (United States franchises – bought December 1993, sold early 1997 )
Hot ‘n Now (bought in 1990, sold in 1997)
KFC (bought October 1986 from RJR Nabisco, spun off October 1997 to form TriCon, later Yum! Brands)
North American Van Lines
Pizza Hut (bought in 1977, spun off October 1997 to form TriCon, later Yum! Brands)
Stolichnaya
Taco Bell (bought in 1978, spun off October 1997 to form TriCon, later Yum! Brands)
Wilson Sporting Goods

Pepsi spun off KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut in 1997 so those stores are safe.
