give Dr. Pepper a try

I love Dr. Pepper. But aren't they owned by PepsiCo?

Nope

Dr. Pepper is part of the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group.

no. Dr. Pepper/7up used to be owned by Cadbury Shweppes but is now independent. It might be bottled and distributed by other companies in certain regions.

“I love Dr. Pepper. But aren’t they owned by PepsiCo?”

Nope. Says right here on the side of the can:

“CANNED BY A MEMBER OF THE COCA-COLA BOTTLERS’
ASSOCIATION, ATLANTA, GA
30327 UNT EH AU-
THORITY OF DR PEPPER
COMPANY, PLANO, TX 75024”

Texas? I guess I can now say “Don’t mess with Dr. Pepper”.
