Schweppes Tonic Water

Schweppes is a renowned brand of carbonated beverages, including tonic water, founded in 1783 by Johann Jacob Schweppe in Geneva, Switzerland. The brand has a rich history, being one of the earliest forms of soft drinks, originally created as soda water. Over time, Schweppes expanded its product line to include various flavors such as ginger ale and bitter lemon. The brand has held the British royal warrant since 1836 and was the official sponsor of Prince Albert's Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London, in 1851. Today, Schweppes is owned by The Coca-Cola Company, an American multinational corporation specializing in non-alcoholic beverages, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. However, the brand's ownership varies by region: in the United States, it is owned by Keurig Dr. Pepper; in Canada, by PepsiCo; in Australia, by Schweppes Australia; in Europe, by Suntory; and in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, by Swire Coca-Cola. This diverse ownership reflects Schweppes' global presence and its adaptation to various markets over the years.
