They have for quite a while, their main office is at Legacy/Tollway, Dr Pepper/Snapple share it with the Cadbury folks.

7UP and Dr. Pepper merged in the 80s, and then in 90s Cadbury/Schwepps bought 7UP/Dr. Pepper.

not sure that is quite a accurate company link.

Monster is not owned by Coke

Even though Coke has been trying to throw a couple billion dollars their way to buy it, but it hasn't gone through yet.

Yeah, I thought Hansen's Soda created and owned Monster, then after looking, they did, and changed the name of the company from Hansen's to Monster Beverages.

Science Diet is Colgate-Palmolive. My father-in-law is an engineer for Colgate and has done some work on the Science Diet factories. I got to tour the Science Diet factory he was building in the Czech Republic a couple years ago while it was under construction. It was awesome.

*edit* I found this article about the plant. I bolded a quote from him.

Hill’s Pet Nutrition Celebrates Official Opening of New Manufacturing Facility in Hustopeče, Czech Republic
Hustopeče, Czech Republic (April 7, 2010) — Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Inc., the global leader in pet nutrition, today celebrated the official opening of its new state-of-the-art, pet food manufacturing facility in Hustopeče, Czech Republic.

"We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Hustopeče for welcoming Hill’s into the community and for helping us get off to a terrific start," said Neil Thompson, President and CEO, Hill’s Pet Nutrition.
