Dr.Pepper/7up aren't part of either, and i believe were bought by Snapple?

Dr Pepper, 7UP, and Snapple are all owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in the US.

When it comes to distribution of beverages, the bottler and distributor networks in the US are quite complicated. They have been owned by the parent companies (e.g., Coke, PepsiCo) and spun off a number of times. Generally speaking, Coke, Pepsi, and DPSG own some of their own distribution but use a network of distributors to cover the entire US.
