IS DR PEPPER A PEPSI PRODUCT?

No, Dr Pepper is not a PepsiCo product. Dr Pepper is owned and produced by Keurig Dr Pepper and has its own formulation and brand history. However, distribution can vary by region. In some markets, PepsiCo-affiliated bottlers distribute Dr Pepper products, while in other areas, distribution is handled by Coca-Cola–affiliated bottlers. When people ask if Dr Pepper is a Pepsi product, they usually mean PepsiCo, not Pepsi the legacy cola brand. Pepsi is a single cola brand, while PepsiCo is the parent company that owns many different brands. No matter who distributes it locally, Dr Pepper remains a distinct brand with its own ownership, recipe and product standards.
