7-up, originally. The Dr. Pepper/7-up Company was bought by Cadbury Schweppes. It's often bottled under license by different bottlers like Coke or Pepsi. That's why you often see it in Coke or Pepsi machines, which varies depending on the part of the country you are in. Here it must be bottled by Coke because Dr. Pepper goes on sale when Coke products go on sale, not when 7-up goes on sale. But despite who bottles it, it's owned by 7-up.

I thought Dr Pepper was its own company, but depending on the area you live in it contracts with both coke and pepsi. Oh and I think this because the town I live it, it is Pepsi, and if I go an hour away, it is Coke.
Dr Pepper is owner by Cadbury -Scwepps a london based company, it also owns 7-up. I got this directly from the Dr Pepper website

Dr. Pepper and 7-Up are owned by Cadbury-Schwepes. But Cadbury-Schwepes doesn't have very many bottling factories in the US, so in some areas a Pepsi bottling company will bottle and distribute Dr P and 7-Up, and in other areas Coke will bottle and distribute it.

Dr Pepper (no period after "Dr" !) was invented in Waco, Texas, in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton. It is its own company, and has never been owned by Coca-Cola or Pepsi. There is still a Dr Pepper museum in Waco. Enjoy!

Dr. Pepper was originally a pepsi product. Then some years ago pepsi sold d.p. to coke. Pepsi still carries d.p. in the fountain machines. coke does the bottled d.p.

my father worked for 7-up for many years, until it was bought by Cadbury which is now where my mom gets the pension stuff from so I KNOW that is it. I believe, like 7-up, it was at one point it's own company but now isn't
