Dr Pepper Zero Azúcar soft drink

Dr Pepper is an iconic carbonated soft drink that traces its origins back to 1885 in Waco, Texas, where it was invented by pharmacist Charles Alderton. This makes it one of the oldest major soft drink brands in the United States, predating Coca-Cola by one year. The drink is famous for its unique blend of 23 different flavors, creating a distinct taste that sits outside traditional cola or root beer categories.

The brand's ownership is a complex global network. In its home market of the United States, the brand is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper (formed by the 2018 merger of Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group). However, for most European markets, including Spain (where the product is labeled as 'Zero Azúcar' for the sugar-free version), the distribution and trademark rights are held by the Coca-Cola Company or its regional partners like Coca-Cola Europacific Partners.

Manufacturing typically occurs in regional bottling plants to ensure local supply. In Europe, Dr Pepper is often produced in facilities owned by the Coca-Cola system, meaning a can found in Spain might be manufactured in Spain or neighboring countries like the UK or France, depending on specific regional distribution logistics.
