how bevarage distribution works drives me nuts 

so here's why: Dr Pepper, which is distributed by Coca-Cola in both Oklahoma and Kansas, isn't owned by them. It's actually owned by Cadbury-Schwepps, which ALSO owns 7-up. See, until 15 minutes ago, I didn't even know that.

Go figure. 7-up/A&W is distributed by 7-up bottling co. in both Oklahoma and Kansas. why don't they distribute Dr Pepper as well?
I actually have an answer, which I'll get around to. eventually.
back on the MAIN track, Dr Pepper is distributed by Pepsico if you're in Georgia. and in Canada Cadbury distributes it.

AND in texas, there's this little place called Dublin that has a plant that sells "Dublin Dr Pepper" that actually contains imperial cane sugar, not corn syrup. you can order it online- do a search if you're curious.

there is no period in Dr Pepper, they omitted it for marketing purposes.

and here's that answer- Coke bought the right to distribute it in some places but because of anti-trust laws, they can't distribute it everywhere SO pepsi distributes it some places.....
