Dr Pepper Snapple Group was an American multinational soft drink company based in Plano, Texas. Since July 2018, it is a business unit of the publicly-traded conglomerate Keurig Dr Pepper.

Formerly Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, part of Cadbury Schweppes, on May 5, 2008, it was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes as Dr Pepper Snapple Group, with the remainder of Cadbury Schweppes becoming Cadbury, a confectionery group. Trading of Dr Pepper Snapple Group's shares commenced on May 7, 2008, on the NYSE as "DPS."[3][4]

On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain acquired Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and became Keurig Dr Pepper; the following day, the merged company began trading anew on the NYSE as "KDP."[5][6][7]
