It hasn't always been. That is what sucks about this.

Only when it isn't Coke.
"Always has been", my ass. These companies were acquired over time, PepsiCo didn't just own them from the start.

This may be outdated but still really scary

Not quite.
Dr Pepper is definitely wrong. Fully independent. Pepsi provides distribution in some markets, but that’s it.
Starbucks is also wrong. Pepsi distributes bottled fraps through a joint venture, but they are separate companies.
Ready to drink Lipton drinks come from Pepsi, but the brand it not owned by Pepsi (teabags and other).
Tazo was sold to Unilever in 2017 but then also sold again in 2022 to the same parent company of Lipton.
Ocean spray is a farmer coop, Pepsi just does distribution.
The Dr Pepper Snapple Group distribution is split between Coke and Pepsi.
After high school I got a job as a merchandiser for Pepsi Bottling Group. That's when I learned that both Pepsi and Coke distrubute Dr. Pepper in different areas.
If the 20 oz bottles in your area look like this you are in a Coke area, and if they look like this you are in a Pepsi area.
that's also why Dr Pepper can show up on fountains in both Pepsi and Coke aligned fast food places.
I don’t see it on there so I will add that they own SodaStream, which also happens to be headquartered in Israel.
Theres even a song about it!

'Breathtaking' Is One Word for Purported Arnell Pepsi Doc
"When I did the Pepsi logo, I told Pepsi that I wanted to go to Asia, to China and Japan, for a month and tuck myself away and just design it and study it and create it," [Arnell Group’s Peter] Arnell said earlier to Ad Age. "There was a lot of research, a lot of consumer data points ... and dialogue that I had with the folks at Pepsi, consumers and retailers. We knew what we were doing."
So what does such a "breathtaking" redesign cost, anyway? Ad Age earlier reported that experts estimate the cost for a top firm to work five months at north of $1 million.
Don't forget the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. (and KFC).
Somewhere there has to be a store where those 3 are crammed together into one monstrosity.
I now have a purpose in life.
Your best bet is truckstops probably.
Cool. KFC chicken stuffed crust nacho chalupa with a side of trucker pills, please.
