I don't know where you heard that from, but that is not true.
Dr. Pepper has varied ownerships in different countries. In the United States, it is marketed by "Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc", which is owned by Cadbury-Schweppes.
Cola is owned by The Coca-Cola Company, with its headquarters located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Pepsi is owned by PepsiCo, with its headquarters located in Purchase, New York.
Hope this helps.

Pepsi bought Dr. Pepper, but in most parts of the US Coke bottles Dr. Pepper, but Coke and Pepsi are separate companies.

Almost right: Pepsi bought Dr. Pepper; Coke owns others like Delaware Punch (glad to see it's back after all these years).

Actually Columbian drug lords owned Coke, bribed Dr. Pepper to smuggle it into the US under the alias of Pepsi. Are you kidding? You have one question for the world to answer and this is it? You need a girlfriend.

This doesn't have the aura of truth about it, in that it doesn't pass the "common sense" test.
Just for future reference: If you ever want to check out a rumor, go to snopes.com . It's the best rumor-buster site that I know of.

I doubt it! That would make them a monopoly and the government would not allow that to happen.
