1969–2008[]

Cadbury Schweppes

Cadbury Schweppes plc was a food conglomerate formed in 1969 by the merger of British chocolate company Cadbury and Swiss carbonated beverage company Schweppes. In 2008, after several subsidiaries and brands were sold, Cadbury Schweppes finally split and refocused as its predecessors. The confectionery business became Cadbury plc and the US soft drinks business became Dr. Pepper Snapple Group Inc.

Cadbury itself was later acquired by the American food conglomerate Kraft Foods, Inc. in 2010 and became part of Mondelēz International in Kraft's 2012 split. Mondelēz, coincidentally, held a 13% stake in Keurig Dr Pepper (formed by a merger in 2018 of Keurig Green Mountain, which Mondelēz previously held a 25% stake in the company, and Dr Pepper Snapple Group), which owns several former Cadbury Schweppes beverage brands.
