In an effort to make a bigger pop, Dr Pepper Snapple and Keurig Green Mountain plan to combine to form a company with $11 billion in annual revenues, the companies said Monday.
The combined company, will be called Doctor Pop Snap, reason enough to form this merger. [correction: The combined name will be Keurig Dr Pepper)
The companies have done business before. Remember the jingle from a few years ago? "I'm a pepper pod, you're a pepper pod, wouldn't you like to be a pepper pod too?" Keurig signed a multi-year agreement to sell pods of Dr Pepper soda brands for the Keurig Cold system in the U.S. and Canada.
The merger comes as a surprise, but wait until you see the combined beverages. That's the real surprise--one of these hybrid KCups loaded with sugary Snapple, Dr Pepper and Coffee brewed by the cup is estimated to produce enough energy to keep a human being awake for 10 days.
The Olympics committee is looking into legal reasons to ban the soda jerks from olympic competition. So far no statement has been released.
