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.

"Always has been", my ass. These companies were acquired over time, PepsiCo didn't just own them from the start.

Is there a non potato version of this where the brands are readable?
Legit did not realize that cap't crunch, and starbucks are pepsi owned.
I still have a conspiracy theory that pepsi also owns 100% of small business resteraunts. You ever try ordering coke in a resteraunt??? "Is pepsi ok?"
Everytime.

Of course it's not an "always has been" situation but a long long road of consolidation.
How is it that almost every brand except Doritos is the shit brand that I never buy because there's always something better? Is tge company's philosophy to make everything too sweet or something?
