That's an old image and has some inaccuracies or misleading aspects. Notable from Pepsi: Gatorade should be under the Quaker brand, Ocean Spray is a farmer cooperative that has an exclusivity deal with Pepsi, in the US 7up is owned and bottled by the Kuerig Dr Pepper company.

For Nestle: the Wonka branch has been sold to Ferrara Candy Company, Nestle also sold their North American water operations to another company but maintains it outside of North America.

The infographic completely misses Kraft Heinz the 3rd largest food and beverage company in the US and 5th largest in the world.

I work in one of the largest grocery chains in the United States and I didn’t know that Gatorade is….checks non-existent notes…a Quaker brand??

Suffice to say, I’m very surprised.

Edit: and Ocean Spray has an exclusivity deal with Pepsi?
