Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don’t message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can’t believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say “take time to grow and come back when you are ready”.

Incorrect. Common knowledge and google will confirm that Dr. Pepper is not made by Coca-Cola.
If your statement is true, you'll have to explain why and provide evidence.
Except in Europe, where it is.
Well, I just looked it up and- yup, you're still wrong.
O rly?
Yeah, that is indeed proof that Coca-Cola DISTRIBUTES in Europe, which is different from being the company which MAKES the product- which is still not Coca-Cola.
It's pedantic, but I love being technically correct.
Ninja edit: technically also they don't distribute either, another company named Coca-Cola Europacific Partners technically does the distribution.
The Dr Pepper distributed in Europe is also made in Europe by Coca Cola.
It's also a different recipe. Except in some of the vending machines, the ones that do all the varieties of everything use American recipe syrups.
You're trying to save it by being excessively pedantic but it isn't working because you're still wrong.
No, I'm not? It's not made by coca-cola. Show me otherwise?
Ninja edit: like idk what to tell you guys. Every article and AI summary of whether or not coke manufactures Dr. Pepper, even when including Europe, clearly supports my argument. According to the article I just checked,
From spicedonline:
Coke Connection In the early 1990s, The Coca-Cola Company entered into a partnership with Dr Pepper to distribute and manufacture the soda in various international markets. This partnership ended in 2005 when Dr Pepper Snapple Group, a separate entity, acquired the rights to produce and distribute Dr Pepper globally. Despite this, Dr Pepper is still sold alongside Coke products in many regions.
This is a UK Dr Pepper 500ml bottle label:
It is made in GB (Great Britain) by Coca Cola. They're a bit hard to pin down on the exact factory, probably because they have more than one. I'm pretty sure discount stores get theirs from a different factory to all the main shops.
Also, from their own website:
And further down the page:
So actually it looks like most of the European Dr Pepper might be produced in the UK. TIL.
I see the bottle but don't understand the evidence. I see made in GB and separately coca-cola contact info, but I don't see how that definitively proves that it was manufactured (rather than simply distributed) by coca-cola, can you please clarify if I'm missing something?
I am skeptical of the website's claims when there are so many counter claims.
The bottle states the manufacturer is CCEP. The website is their website. I don't think you can get a more direct source, short of calling each of the factories at the different locations and asking them if they make Dr Pepper.
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.
So again, no mattwr how you look at it.
You. Are. Wrong. Do a better job finding evidence and try again if you like.
What the fuck man, learn to read and follow basic logic. Learn to take in new information.
You're nuts mate.
Please provide some evidence of your own. You've given nothing, and even your reasoning is detrimentally flawed.
Yikes, that's ironic.
Everything you said was addressed in my previous comment. Incredibly embarrassing for you- your third and fourth points don't even make sense, your first point is acknowledging that I never argued it wasn't made in the EU.
"This is literally the source" yikes bro we really live in a post-reality society. No, buddy, no it's not.
Any person (or any company) can say almost anything they want to on the internet, so I'm sorry that you are stupid enough to accept every single claim made by every single company without even an ounce of scrunity or at least the charitability to acknowledge that it is not an airtight piece of evidence.
Edit: hell you even made me forget my own argument in the first place. CCEP isn't the same as Coca-Cola. They are independent. Coca-Cola doesn't even own the biggest share in the company.
You are a dipshit.
Where is your source?
You have given nothing, you have argued nothing, and you have failed miserably.
CCEP literally has Coca Cola in the name. It is the European and Asian division of the global multinational organisation, one which is made up of multiple companies. Yet again, you are being pedantic and arguing semantics, but getting it completely wrong.
Not surprising seeing as you live in a "post-reality society". I've got news for you: society exists beyond the borders of your mother's basement. And out there, objective truth still matters.
