Ironically Coca Cola Bottling Company Consolidate which is hqed in CLT bottles Dr.Pepper also (along with the ROA facility) and Mr. Pibb is the secondary to it. I think the NE sees more manufacturing of Dr.P by Pepsi than the South and West. Also a interesting thing is that CCBCC manufactures the Dr.P but is generally distributed by Pepsi or RCC.
