Top Ten Brands Owned By Pepsico

Published

on

Pepsi with its iconic red and blue logo is one of the most well known brands in the world.  Pepsi has a presence in almost every country on the planet and along with rival Coca-Cola, accounts for the majority of soft drinks and beverages sold in supermarkets.  Pepsico was originally used to be called as Pepsi-Cola and the change to the new name only happened when a merger between Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito Lays took place in 1965.  However, Pepsi did not just become a leading Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) brand in the world with just its soft drink brands but rather with making clever brand acquisitions over the years.  

Here are the Top Ten Brands owned by Pepsico which are famous in their own right

Pepsi: 

The original Pepsi product behind the iconic brand is a carbonated soft drink developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham as Brad’s Drink and was later renamed to Pepsi-Cola in 1898.

Mountain Dew: 

Mountain dew is another iconic carbonated and caffeinated soft drink well known for its citrus flavour and its fluorescent green packaging.  Mountain Dew was developed in the 1940’s and its formula was revised over the years with the final revision happening in 1961 after which Pepsi acquired the brand.

Lay’s: 

Lay’s is the leading manufacturer of packaged potato chips in the world.  Lay’s has been owned by PepsiCo through Frito-Lay since 1965.  Each country has its own local flavoured Lay’s potato chips which are based on popular flavours relevant to the country.

Quaker Foods: 

The name Quaker immediately brings to mind the famous breakfast food, Quaker Oats, which is a leading cereal and breakfast food brand in the United States of America.  Quaker Foods has been owned by Pepsico since 2001.

Gatorade: 

Gatorade is a famous sports drink which was originally made by the University of Florida for Gators, its athletic team, to replenish the carbohydrates that the school’s student athletes burned and the combination of water and electrolytes that they lost in sweat.  The Gatorade brand was purchased by the Quaker Oats Company in 1983, which, in turn, was bought by PepsiCo.  An interesting fact is Pepsico purchased Quaker Foods primarily for the Gatorade brand.

Tropicana: 

Tropicana is a famous bottle fruit juice beverage and was founded in 1947 before being acquired by Pepsico in 1998.  Tropicana is hugely famous for its Orange juice which is easy to find in retail stores across the world.

7 Up:

7 Up is another iconic carbonated soft drink brand which has a lemon-lime flavoured base and is a non-caffeinated drink.  7 Up is also considered as a direct alternative to Coca-Cola’s Sprite drink.  7 Up is famous for its brand mascot, Fido Dido.

Aquafina: 

Aquafina is a purified bottled water product which is owned by Pepsico.  Aquafina FlavorSplash is a flavoured, non carbonated and artificially sweetened line of products which come under six flavours.  Aquafina competes directly with Coca-Cola’s Dasani brand of bottled water.

Cheetos:

Cheetos is a famous brand of snacks manufactured by Frito Lay’s and is a hugely popular American snack.  Cheetos is known for its Flamin Cheetos which formed the basis for the Kurkure brand which is widely popular in India and owned by Pepsico.

Doritos: 

Doritos are flavoured tortilla chips sold in packets by Frito Lays. The original Doritos were not flavored. The first Doritos flavor was Toasted Corn, released in 1966, followed by Taco in 1967 and Nacho Cheese in 1972.
