To clarify: that text next to the envelope icon is what you are referring to?
Because it was an envelope, I interpreted it as “distributed by”, are you saying that is the manufacturer and not the distributor? And you know this for fact? I can now see an interpretation where the envelope maybe represents “contact us”.
The envelope is the mailing address for Coca Cola Europacific Partners. It doesn’t specify what they do, presumably because it’s implied they do it all. If it was imported the label would have to say that (eg many beers either say they’re imported or brewed locally under license, the ones that don’t are local breweries).
The Coca Cola website explicitely states that Coca Cola Europacific Partners both makes, sells and distributes it. They are the sole licensed producer for many countries across the European and Asian regions.
The bottle identifies that CCEP have some involvement, and the website confirms that they do it all.
The argument was never about whether or not anything was imported. The question is whether or not Coca-Cola MAKES Dr. Pepper (not bottles, not distributes, etc).
I do not care about an uncited claim made by the website team? This isn’t strong evidence, and clinging to it pretending that it is, is desperate. It’s possible they are completely lying or obfuscating through the wording being used. More likely: they probably just don’t care very much to be precise.
CCEP is an independent BOTTLING COMPANY which is only 19% owned by Coca-Cola.
So again, no mattwr how you look at it.
You. Are. Wrong. Do a better job finding evidence and try again if you like.
