Of course it's not an "always has been" situation but a long long road of consolidation.

Back in my day, we took whatever pixels we were given and we were glad for them! And before your precious pixels, we were happy to get ASCII pictures!

Legit did not realize that cap't crunch, and starbucks are pepsi owned.
I still have a conspiracy theory that pepsi also owns 100% of small business resteraunts. You ever try ordering coke in a resteraunt??? "Is pepsi ok?"
Everytime.
In Germany Pepsi doesn't exist outside of grocery stores lol. Only small local brands can compete with Coka Cola in the restaurant game ironically
Not the stores, but the bottled and canned stuff that you can buy in the grocery stores
Ooooooooh. So they don't own starbucks. They just have a distribution agreement in place.
Theoretically starbucks COULD do that themselves, but it would cost a lot of upfront investment which may not end up being profitable. So they just say to pepsi "here's the formula, you bottle and ship it, and we'll pay you a fee".
