Endorsements with the NFC North Battle 2010 video game

[edit]

On a website called Roblox, The Dr. Pepper Snapple Group has signed to advertise on the NFC North Battle 2010 video game, and endorsed two players, Minnesota Vikings #10 nd96 and Green Bay Packers #10 BrickMasterGod. Its either by the fact nd96 has decided to be traded from the Packers to the Vikings, and BrickMasterGod is now under nd96's number. Or cause their key players for the rival teams. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.103.233.214 (talk) 04:41, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relationships with Coca-Cola, Pepsi

[edit]

I think I remember hearing that the Dr Pepper group partnered with one of the major soda manufacturers for distribution and such. Back east, I thought Dr Pepper was usually priced with Pepsi products; the existence of Mr. Pibb. But here out west, I've seen it priced with Coke products and even available in Coke-brand sales at multiple retailers. Is there some sort of large-scale partnership, or are these differences attributable to local distributors? --BDD (talk) 19:24, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

All of the Dr Pepper group is listed as a subsidiary of PepsiCo on the PepsiCo page but it's not listed anywhere on the Dr Pepper page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_PepsiCo 89.240.12.2 (talk) 02:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And now it's not, apparently because "The contributor who added the DPSG products is a moron." The mystery continues. --BDD (talk) 20:35, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No mystery. PepsiCo does not own the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, period. The uninformed anon editor who added those was plain and simply wrong. It is true that DPSG has a less robust bottling network, the effects of their brand portfolio being assembled ove the years instead of largely built in-house like Coke and Pepsi, resulting in Coke and Pepsi bottlers also bottling DPSG products, and not always the whole line to either.
For example, in the New York City area Dr Pepper is bottled by the regional Coke bottler, and the deal is perpetual, so Dr Pepper appears nearer to Coke on store shelves, while Pibb is pretty much not present, as the Coca-Cola bottling company in the area would be competing with itself to bottle both (and cannot per its Dr Pepper deal, afaik), so it only sells the more popular brand.
Conversely, in the region 7 Up is sold by the regional Pepsi bottler, as are other DPSG brands like Canada Dry and Crush. However, they still offer the competing Pepsi products, so Sierra Mist is available. (Notably, in Europe PepsiCo does have perpetual rights to 7 Up, which they acquired years ago; it's a license though, as the overall ownership of the brand remains DPSG).
So, to go back and answer the original post, yes, the relationships are more a local bottler thing. oknazevad (talk) 20:04, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Company Sold

[edit]

Multiple people are saying the fact that the company is being sold shouldn't be in the lede and should be buried at the bottom of the history section. I honestly don't understand the logic there. That's probably the single most important fact on this page. It's why there are thousands of articles being written about the company right now. It's a hugely important thing to this company. And why are we hiding it and downplaying it? Isenta (talk) 14:01, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keuring Green Mountain merged with Dr. Pepper Snapple Group to form Keurig Dr Pepper. http://news.keuriggreenmountain.com/press-release/business/keurig-dr-pepper-announces-successful-completion-merger-between-keurig-green SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:55, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even Keurig Dr Pepper are formed, according to its overview passage, it is "a leading coffee and beverage company" [1], meaning it treats coffee and beverage as two different business areas, on the other hands, Keuring Green Mountain had been publicly traded between 1993 and 2015, it is more approiate to have two separate articles to record the history of two companies.

  • Comment: If this was an acquisition, then the article on the parent company (Keurig Green Mountain), which has now changed its name to reflect the acquisition, should now be changed to Keurig Dr Pepper, and the article on Dr Pepper Snapple Group, which was acquired by Keurig Green Mountain, should be reverted back to its original article name. There should not be a third article.

    By the way this acquisition and article-rename has already happened once in the parent company's (article) history, it used to be called Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, and after it acquired Keurig, it was renamed in March 2014, the parent article was moved/renamed [1]. -- Softlavender (talk) 04:28, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bring back the 7 up candy bars.

You need to bring the 7 up candy bars back. They were everyone's candy bar. It was stupid to only let them stay on the market for 2 years. 2001:5B0:47C3:A8A8:6875:169E:922C:EAEB (talk) 22:25, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
