    Ooooooooh. So they don’t own starbucks. They just have a distribution agreement in place.

    Theoretically starbucks COULD do that themselves, but it would cost a lot of upfront investment which may not end up being profitable. So they just say to pepsi “here’s the formula, you bottle and ship it, and we’ll pay you a fee”.
