7-Up
I can't remember who I was having this discussion with but I've had it resently. I grew up with Sprite and 7-Up (which I realize is normal seeing as Sierra Mist wasn't around), but when the rest of the world switched to Sierra Mist I missed the memo. So... I was trying to figure out distributers because I thought Sprite was coke and 7-Up was pepsi, but Sierra Mist is served at Pepsi places, not 7-Up. I tried to figure it out and I think I got it. The question here is if I can really trust Wikapedia on this. Sprite is coke brand, no questions there. 7-Up used to be bottled by Pepsi but is really owned by someone else. So, in 2000 Pepsi made their own brand (Sierra Mist) and (only in the US) has nothing more to do with 7-Up which is now bottled by independent distriputers. Thank you very much.

All depends upon the bottler's distribution franchise. Some bottler's are big conglomerates, like the ones who bought the Brooks' company several years back. They bottle a variety of franchised brands. Others are small, independent bottlers, doing the same thing on a smaller scale. Coke and Pepsi bottlers can, for the most part, be corporately owned, I believe.
