But the runner up spot, long held by Pepsi, now belongs to Dr Pepper.
Dr Pepper and Pepsi both had 8.3%, with Dr Pepper technically ahead.
For years a regional favorite, Dr Pepper in the 1970s marketed itself to a national audience as a unique flavor.
The addition was “a standout success,” Timothy Cofer, CEO of Dr Pepper parent company Keurig Dr Pepper, said during an analyst call in April.
Unlike Coca-Cola and Keurig Dr Pepper, Pepsico has a massive food business — its sprawling portfolio includes Quaker, Frito-Lay and more.
