Not quite.
Dr Pepper is definitely wrong. Fully independent. Pepsi provides distribution in some markets, but that’s it.
Starbucks is also wrong. Pepsi distributes bottled fraps through a joint venture, but they are separate companies.
Ready to drink Lipton drinks come from Pepsi, but the brand it not owned by Pepsi (teabags and other).
Tazo was sold to Unilever in 2017 but then also sold again in 2022 to the same parent company of Lipton.
Ocean spray is a farmer coop, Pepsi just does distribution.
I don’t see it on there so I will add that they own SodaStream, which also happens to be headquartered in Israel.
After high school I got a job as a merchandiser for Pepsi Bottling Group. That's when I learned that both Pepsi and Coke distrubute Dr. Pepper in different areas.
If the 20 oz bottles in your area look like this you are in a Coke area, and if they look like this you are in a Pepsi area.
that's also why Dr Pepper can show up on fountains in both Pepsi and Coke aligned fast food places.
Tha Doc gets a piece of everything.
The Dr Pepper Snapple Group distribution is split between Coke and Pepsi.
