Is Dr. Pepper a coke or pepsi product?!
Answers: I am really curious about this. Please answer and tell me where you found that out.
dr pepper was it's own entity until 1986 when it merged with 7up. in 1995, dr pepper/7up was bought by cadbury schweppes, the company that currently owns it. cadbury is the number 3 beverage company behind coke and pepsi. they also own brands like snapple and canada dry.
In some areas, it is distributed by coke and in others it's handled by pepsi. It goes up for bid every few years to determine who gets distributing rights in a particular area.
easy look at the label it's either distributed by pepsi/coke or cadbury shwepps (depending what part of the world you live in.... where i live it's pepsi.
but so far the company cadbury still is the creator/founder. (but who distributes it is in question..most seamingly where you live makes the difference.)
more information of course through the

It is neither one. Dr Pepper is a company of it's own. They also own 7 up and other products

It is its own company packed by & Up.

Dr. Pepper is Pepsi-Mr. Pibb is Coke
Neither! They are they own company but they do own 7 up
Seven Up, Inc.
In the United States, Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) does not have a complete network of bottlers and distributors, so the drink is sometimes bottled under contract by Coca-Cola or Pepsi bottlers. Prior to the initial Cadbury Schweppes investment-turned-buyout, 30% of Dr Pepper/Seven Up products were produced and distributed by Pepsi bottlers, and another 30% by Coca-Cola bottlers. The remaining 40% was produced and distributed by independent bottlers (mainly consisting of pre-Dr Pepper/Seven Up-merger regional bottlers) and the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group.
Presently, Dr Pepper is mostly reliant on the Cadbury Schweppes Bottling Group (known as Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group until June, 2006) to bottle and distribute its products in 30+ states. Coca-Cola and Pepsi have essentially stopped bottling and distributing CSAB products in favor of in-house alternatives, although regional exceptions can be found. It is notable that Pepsi bottlers have been dropping Dr Pepper without an equivalent replacement. Previously a Pepsi bottler without a Dr Pepper franchise would typically bottle Dr. Wells, and Coke bottlers would make Mr. Pibb.
In Canada and Poland, Cadbury-Schweppes has licensed distribution rights to PepsiCo. In Mexico, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, The Netherlands, Slovakia, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Norway, Cadbury-Schweppes owns the trademark and distributes the product. In Spain, Turkey, and Greece it is almost impossible to find as it is usually imported from the United Kingdom in particular supermarkets. In almost all of the other countries of the world, The Coca-Cola Company purchased the trademark from Cadbury-Schweppes and distributes the product. This mixed worldwide ownership of the trademark is due to antitrust regulations which prevented Coca-Cola from purchasing the rights everywhere. Dr Pepper is also available in Japan and South Korea. Although not locally bottled in New Zealand any more, imported cans of Dr Pepper are often found in independent convenience stores (dairies).
coke
It is it's own company. Depends on where you buy it as they have different bottling companys. Some are coke and some area they are pepsi.
Coke, I found out from the local guy who stocks the shelves
