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.
Not the stores, but the bottled and canned stuff that you can buy in the grocery stores
Ooooooooh. So they don't own starbucks. They just have a distribution agreement in place.
Theoretically starbucks COULD do that themselves, but it would cost a lot of upfront investment which may not end up being profitable. So they just say to pepsi "here's the formula, you bottle and ship it, and we'll pay you a fee".
Starbucks isn't owned by Pepsi. The meme lacks veracity. How dare they!?!
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?
This may be outdated but still really scary

Land of Lakes is a farmer-owned co-op...but from 1989 until 2007, Kraft was owned by Phillip Morris (the tobacco company now known as Altria).
Marlboro and EasyMac were corporate cousins.
Did my image show up for you? I tried to upload a bigger picture with 10 companies and every brand name they owned
Your image works fine for me. Idk what they're talking about, these companies are making plenty of profit. (Probably not enough if you ask the shareholders tho)
Unilever owns Dollar Shave Club since around 2018
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.
The Dr Pepper Snapple Group distribution is split between Coke and Pepsi.
Theres even a song about it!

'Breathtaking' Is One Word for Purported Arnell Pepsi Doc
"When I did the Pepsi logo, I told Pepsi that I wanted to go to Asia, to China and Japan, for a month and tuck myself away and just design it and study it and create it," [Arnell Group’s Peter] Arnell said earlier to Ad Age. "There was a lot of research, a lot of consumer data points ... and dialogue that I had with the folks at Pepsi, consumers and retailers. We knew what we were doing."
So what does such a "breathtaking" redesign cost, anyway? Ad Age earlier reported that experts estimate the cost for a top firm to work five months at north of $1 million.
Dr Pepper
I will not stand for this slander, they are independent from Pepsi
Don't forget the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. (and KFC).
Somewhere there has to be a store where those 3 are crammed together into one monstrosity.
I now have a purpose in life.
Your best bet is truckstops probably.
Cool. KFC chicken stuffed crust nacho chalupa with a side of trucker pills, please.
you want the ones to make your boner bigger, the ones to make your boner smaller, or the ones to make your boner fall off? you know what aisle 2 next to the gummi worms
"Always has been", my ass. These companies were acquired over time, PepsiCo didn't just own them from the start.
