Both Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew are Pepsi products. Mellow Yellow is Coke and their Dr Pepper equivilent is Mr. Pibb.

DP is not a Pepsi product.
From the Dr Pepper corporate website.

In 1986 the Dr Pepper company merged with the Seven Up Company to form Dr Pepper/ Seven-Up, Inc which was later acquired, in 1995, by Cadbury Schweppes plc. It would become the largest operating division of the non-cola beverages firm, Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc.

London-based Cadbury Schweppes plc acquired the Dr Pepper/Seven-Up Corporation in early 1995 at the largest division of the non-cola global beverages firm.

In 2008, the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. was established following the spinoff of Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB) from Cadbury Schweppes plc. It remains one of North America’s leading refreshment beverage companies, manufacturing, bottling and distributing more than 50 brands of carbonated soft drinks, juices, teas, mixers, waters and other premium beverages.
