Pepsi Bottling to Distribute Dr Pepper's Crush Sodas.

Is there a new cola war brewing?

Just the opposite -- in a case of "co-opetition," Pepsi Bottling has agreed to distribute Dr Pepper's Crush Sodas. That may be a pretty smart move. Last year, Fanta's volume decreased 1%, Tropicana Twister's volume decreased 25% (ouch!) and Sunkist's increased 4.2%.

How did Crush perform last year? Their volume jumped up 8.3%. Which makes Pepsi Bottling's decision to distribute Crush Soda a very sweet deal indeed.
