Went to Taco Belch last night for drunk food and ordered Dr. Pepper, just like I've been doing for 30+ years. They say: "We only serve Pepsi products here." I note that there is no longer a Dr. Pepper dispenser @ the fountain.

All PepsiCo stores I've ever visited have served DP for decades, but it's bottled locally by Coca Cola and usually included when Coke products go on sale. Except sometimes at Target where it's included with sales on Pepsi products.

So, who really owns Dr. Pepper?

Also, can someone tell me where to find the closest toilet....shite--too late.

NB4 OP is a fatty.

I thought Dr. Pepper was its own brand. I think Mr. Pibb is Coke's version.

Coke makes Mr. Pibb, Dr. Pepper’s younger brother who went to USL and graduated in interior design.

Per Wikipedia:

Manufacturer Dr Pepper Snapple Group (2008–present; United States only)
The Coca-Cola Company (Europe only)
PepsiCo (Canada and Oceania only)
Distributor Dr Pepper Snapple Group

Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. is an American soft drink company, based in Plano, Texas. Formerly called Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, on May 5, 2008, it was spun off from Britain's Cadbury Schweppes, with trading in its shares starting on May 7, 2008. Cadbury Schweppes plc went on to become Cadbury plc on May 5, 2008.[

Owned by Dr pepper Snapple, but coke and Pepsi distribute it in certain states.

Made by coke in Europe, made by Pepsi in Canada.

Edit: not owned, made

I believe Dr Pepper is its own.

Originally I believe it was invented in Dublin, TX.

Controversial to some of origin and who owns/invented it.

I don't care too much, but that's what I know.
