    He's pulling your leg.

    Coke isn't among the 10 largest stockholders of Pepsi, and you have to have less than 1.25% of the company to stay out of that "top 10" list.

    The Coca-Cola Company does not own Pepsico or any of the Pepsi products.

    Although the Coca-Cola Company had a few opportunities in the early 20th century to acquire the company but never did.

    No, Coca Cola didn't own Pepsi, Coca Cola was founded/invented by Asa Griggs Candler and John Pemberton in 1886 from Atlanta, Georgia, U.S. and Pepsi was founded/invented by believe it or not Donald Kendall

    and Herman Lay in 1965 from Purchase, New York, U.S.

    i hope this question was helpful and i hope you had a good day.

    Cheers-

    Wow you have been studied the company for 10yers.. # 01 do you think really they are going to say this out right to the public... # 02 Do you all think one owns the other it's the other way around they own each other in many cases of companies.. Bell Vs Roger do you think they are going to come out & say they are 01... Everyone find the right facts & then start talking about it… I know a lot about bout industries but I will still leave you to figure it out...

      Conspiracy theorist. What facts did you ever have? Acting like you're right doesn't make it so.

    They own enough interest in other minor companies that they might as well...

    It's call risk adjustment.

    You're right, he's wrong! They are listed separately on the NY stock exchange.
