The opening line of the article states: "Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. is a United States soft drink manufacturing arm of Cadbury-Schweppes".
However, Dr. Pepper and Seven Up are available in many countries throughout the world (I know they're sold in Australia and the UK (the actual home of the Cadbury company) for definate). Are the world-wide sales (excluding Canada) still done under the US arm of Cadbury-Schweppes? It seems a little strange (and surely an admin nightmare) that Cadburies-Schweppes is getting its US soft-drink division to sell soft drinks in its own country and elsewhere. Does anyone know what the relationship between the subsidiary companies is? Canderra23:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply
It appears this is all simply because brand identity reasons have delayed Cadbury Schweppes updating the labeling of Dr. Pepper and Seven Up products. This is pretty common within the first few years of a company/product-line purchase so I guess it will probably be updated. Canderra13:40, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've met a surprising number of people who think Dr Pepper/7-Up is a part of Pepsico. The confusion lies in that in some U.S. locations they share bottling facilities, and that a large number of retailers put "Pepsi" on sale, but then throw in Dr Pepper, 7-Up and A&W too. However, company and product-wise they are actually competitors. Some of these people even thought Sierra Mist was to be a replacement of 7-Up! (and are now probably comfused with the release of 7-Up Natural) Is this worth mentioning in the article, or does the fact Pepsi isn't mentioned at all sufficient? Danny16:29, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
The current article does make it obvious that Cadbury Schweppes are the new owners. I don't think this rumour should be mentioned specifically as Wikipedia is not a rumour validation website and anyone reading the article should realise who actually owns the brand.

The confusion is quite understandable. In some parts of the USA the local Pepsi distributor also has the franchise for Dr. Pepper. This is never the case with Coke since they sell a competing product, Mr. Pibb. It's a reasonable assumption that Dr. Pepper is owned by Pepsi, just wrong.
