Overview
Schweppes
In 1783, Jacob Schweppe developed a method to make carbonated water in the Swiss city of Geneva, some time after Joseph Priestley first discovered a method of impregnating water with carbon dioxide.Cadbury's
Independently, in 1824, John Cadbury began vending tea, coffee, and (later) chocolate in Birmingham in England and sometime in India and Pakistan. The company was then known as Cadbury Brothers Limited.After World War I, Cadbury Brothers Limited undertook a financial merger with J.S. Fry & Sons Limited.
After John Cadbury's retirement, his sons, Richard and George, opened a major factory in the purpose-built suburb of Bournville, four miles south of the city.
Merger
The two companies merged to form Cadbury Schweppes in 1969. Cadbury also operates factories in Dublin (Ireland), Dunedin (New Zealand), Ringwood (Melbourne, Australia) and Claremont (Tasmania, Australia).

- Canada:- Cadbury Adams is the company's Canadian subsidiary, based in Toronto. Most brands and products match those in the UK; the chocolate bar line was rebranded in late 2005 to the UK-standard purple wrapper theme.
