    I ran a fast food store in the 90s and we served Pepsi. They supplied the dispenser machine, product, and cups. I figured the cost, the soda cost us 3 cents / cup, the cup cost 5 cents each. With such low cost we gave free re-fills. Our machine broke one day so I quickly called the company. Within 30 minutes a repairman was there and finished within 5 minutes. Have to admit that that is great management.

    Some additional facts that were skipped in this video:
    1. PepsiCo owns the distribution rights of 7-Up outside North America.
    2. Prior to its distribution deal with PepsiCo in 2009, Rockstar Energy had a partnership with Coca-Cola in the 2000s. One of the products of the partnership was the short-lived Von Dutch energy drink.
    3. Dr Pepper's distribution deals are split between Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Cadbury-Schweppes, and other independent bottlers depending on region. It gets confusing in some cities; for example, half of Los Angeles has Dr Pepper distributed by Coca-Cola while the other half of the city receives their supply from PepsiCo.
    4. Lipton Iced Tea (including Brisk) is a joint venture between Unilever and PepsiCo.
    5. Prior to PepsiCo's acquisition of Quaker Oats, they had their own sports drink called "All Sport" in the 1990s. Since the Quaker Oats acquisition gave them ownership of Gatorade, PepsiCo no longer needed the All Sport brand and sold it to The Monarch Beverage Company.
    6. PepsiCo left Indonesia in 2019 due to poor sales and a falling out with the local distributor. As a result, KFC and Pizza Hut chains in the country switched to Coca-Cola.
