Does this brand belong to The Coca-Cola Company or to PepsiCo?
Fizzy drinks, juices, iced teas, snacks: in the supermarket, two American giants share a good part of the shelves. On one side, The Coca-Cola Company, born in Atlanta at the end of the 19th century. On the other, PepsiCo, its historic rival for more than a century. Their names hardly ever appear in big letters on the packaging, and a string of takeovers has muddied the waters. Can you hand each brand back to its rightful owner?

Frequently asked questions
Who are Coca-Cola and PepsiCo?
They are two American giants of drinks and food. The Coca-Cola Company was born in Atlanta after Coca-Cola was invented in 1886. PepsiCo, headquartered near New York, was formed in 1965 around the Pepsi-Cola brand, created in 1893.
Can a brand belong to different groups depending on the country?
Yes. Some brands have been sold off in one country but not in another, or are produced under licence. In this quiz, we go by who owns the brand in France, where the quiz was written.
Why isn't Tropicana in the quiz?
Since 2022, Tropicana has been majority-owned by the investment fund PAI Partners, with PepsiCo keeping only a minority stake. As the brand is no longer controlled by either group, we left it out.
