Baghdad Soda == Pepsi Baghdad?

I have seen this in a number of articles... that basically Baghdad Soda is currently producing Pepsi. But, I thought I had read hear that Coke was looking at buying Baghdad Soda...

Anyone have any clarification?

Here is an article that refers to Baghdad Soda as producing Pepsi;

Within seconds of Sunday's opening bell, Ali elbowed his way through the packed trading floor to scribble his big buy of the day: hundreds of shares of Baghdad Soft Drink Co., which bottles the most common Baghdad beverage, Pepsi

And another that specifically calls the company 'Pepsi Baghdad'.

Any clarity appreciated, as I am looking to invest as soon as the doors open.

I saw that same article this morning. It was the first time I've seen the names referred together that way. Did we miss the aquisition news? Or did they already own it... I heard a while back that they wanted to buy the soda factory but security wasn't enough for them to move in... that was back in june. You may find something in our old truck and barter forum...

PepsiCo sold them a franchise, the franchise name is Pepsi Baghdad.

Does any one know what it means on the ISX bulletin board in the last column " contracts " ?? Is that the # of people that bought into those particular shares ??
