Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Basis of Presentation	Business and Basis of Presentation
	References in the Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements to "DPS" or "the Company" refer to Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. and all entities included in the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Cadbury plc and Cadbury Schweppes plc are hereafter collectively referred to as "Cadbury" unless otherwise indicated. Kraft Foods Inc. acquired Cadbury on February 2, 2010 and on October 1, 2012, Kraft Foods Inc. spun-off its North American grocery business to its shareholders and changed its name to Mondelēz International, Inc. ("Mondelēz").
	The Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements refer to some of DPS' owned or licensed trademarks, trade names and service marks, which are referred to as the Company's brands. All of the product names included herein are either DPS' registered trademarks or those of the Company's licensors.
	Nature of Operations
	DPS is a leading integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico with a diverse portfolio of flavored (non-cola) carbonated soft drinks ("CSDs") and non-carbonated beverages ("NCBs"), including ready-to-drink teas, juices, juice drinks, mixers and water. The Company's brand portfolio includes popular CSD brands such as Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, 7UP, Squirt, Peñafiel, Crush, A&W, Sunkist soda and Schweppes, and NCB brands such as Snapple, Hawaiian Punch, Mott's, Clamato, Mr & Mrs T mixers and Rose's.
	We were incorporated in Delaware on October 24, 2007. In 2008, Cadbury separated its beverage business in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean (the "Americas Beverages business") from its global confectionery business by contributing the subsidiaries that operated its Americas Beverages business to us.
	Principles of Consolidation
	DPS consolidates all wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. Consolidated net income includes DPS' proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions.
	The Company is also required to consolidate entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which DPS is the primary beneficiary. Judgments are made in assessing whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, including determination of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company provided 100% financing to a VIE as part of a short term leasing structure for which DPS is the primary beneficiary. As a result, DPS has consolidated that entity. The Company’s financing of the VIE, which totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014, included a transfer of cash and assignment of the rights to deposits previously made with a manufacturer in the prior year. The Company's financing of the VIE, which eliminates in consolidation, was used by the VIE to purchase certain property, plant and equipment. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	The Company eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements and the intercompany transactions with its equity method investees.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Significant Accounting Policies
	Use of Estimates
	The process of preparing DPS' consolidated
	financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term, highly liquid securities, with original maturities of three months or less.
	The Company is exposed to potential risks associated with its cash and cash equivalents. DPS places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Deposits with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided; however, these deposits typically are redeemable upon demand and, therefore, the Company believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal.
	Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.
	The Company is exposed to potential credit risks associated with its accounts receivable, as it generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable. The Company determines the required allowance for doubtful collections using information such as its customer credit history and financial condition, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports. Allowances can be affected by changes in the industry, customer credit issues or customer bankruptcies. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company has not experienced significant credit related losses.
	Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in millions):
		2014				2013			2012
	Balance, beginning of the year	$	3			$	3		$	3
	Net charge to costs and expenses	1				1			2
	Write-offs and adjustments	(2		)		(1		)	(2		)
	Balance, end of the year	$	2			$	3		$	3
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ("WalMart") accounted for approximately $67 million and $64 million of trade receivables, respectively, which exceeded 10% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is primarily determined for inventories of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") valuation method. The cost for inventories of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") valuation method. The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and indirect production and overhead costs. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories are based on an assessment of slow-moving and obsolete inventories, determined by historical usage and demand. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves were $2 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
	Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost plus capitalized interest on borrowings during the actual construction period of major capital projects, net of accumulated depreciation. Significant improvements which substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. The costs of major rebuilds and replacements of plant and equipment are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not improve or extend the life of the assets are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment is sold or retired, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any net gain or loss is recorded in other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
	For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives as follows:
	Type of Asset	Useful Life
	Buildings			40 years
	Building improvements	5	to	35 years
	Machinery and equipment	3	to	23 years
	Vehicles	5	to	12 years
	Cold drink equipment	3	to	7 years
	Computer software	3	to	8 years
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when warranted, are updated.
	The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In order to assess recoverability, DPS compares the estimated undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows from the use of the asset or group of assets, as defined, to the carrying amount of such assets. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets over the long-lived asset's fair value. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no analysis was warranted.
	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Company classifies intangible assets into two categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization and (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization. The majority of the Company's intangible asset balance is made up of brands which the Company has determined to have indefinite useful lives. In arriving at the conclusion that a brand has an indefinite useful life, management reviews factors such as size, diversification and market share of each brand. Management expects to acquire, hold and support brands for an indefinite period through consumer marketing and promotional support. The Company also considers factors such as its ability to continue to protect the legal rights that arise from these brand names indefinitely or the absence of any regulatory, economic or competitive factors that could truncate the life of the brand name. If the criteria are not met to assign an indefinite life, the brand is amortized over its expected useful life.
	Identifiable intangible assets deemed by the Company to have determinable finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
	Type of Intangible Asset	Useful Life
	Brands			10 years
	Customer relationships			10 years
	Distribution rights	5	to	15 years
	DPS conducts tests for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For intangible assets with definite lives, tests for impairment are performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company conducts tests for impairment annually, as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We use present value and other valuation techniques to make this assessment.
	The tests for impairment include significant judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units and intangible assets primarily by analyzing forecasts of future revenues and profit performance. Fair value is based on what the reporting units and intangible assets would be worth to a third party market participant. Discount rates are based on a weighted average cost of equity and cost of debt, adjusted with various risk premiums. Management's estimates of fair value, which fall under Level 3, are based on historical and projected operating performance. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.
	Capitalized Customer Incentive Programs
	The Company provides support to certain customers to cover various programs and initiatives to increase net sales, including contributions to customers or vendors for cold drink equipment used to market and sell the Company's products. These programs and initiatives generally directly benefit the Company over a period of time. Accordingly, costs of these programs and initiatives are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs for these programs are amortized over the period to be directly benefited based upon a methodology consistent with the Company's contractual rights under these arrangements.
	These programs and initiatives recorded in the current and non-current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $73 million and $83 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amortization charge for the cost of contributions to customers or vendors for cold drink equipment was $4 million, $3 million and $5 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recorded in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amortization charge for the cost of other programs and incentives was $13 million, $15 million and $17 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recorded as a deduction from gross sales.
	Derivatives
	The Company formally designates and accounts for certain interest rate contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL"), a component of Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCL is reclassified to net income and is reported as a component of the Consolidated Statements of Income. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the effective change in the fair value of the instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized immediately in current-period earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as a hedging instrument, which creates an economic hedge, or de-designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
	Certain interest rate swap agreements qualify for the shortcut method of accounting for hedges under U.S. GAAP. Under the shortcut method, the hedges are assumed to be perfectly effective and no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For all other designated hedges, the Company assesses at the time the derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows. DPS also measures hedge ineffectiveness on a quarterly basis throughout the designated period. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument that do not effectively offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item throughout the designated hedge period are recorded in earnings each period.
	If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, it would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCL are reclassified to earnings at that time.  Refer to Note 10 for additional information.
	Fair Value
	The fair value of senior unsecured notes and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are based on quoted market prices for publicly traded securities.
	The Company estimates fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to ensure they are calculated based on market rates to settle the instruments. These values represent the estimated amounts DPS would pay or receive to terminate agreements, taking into consideration current market rates and creditworthiness. The fair value for financial instruments categorized as Level 1 is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments categorized as Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques based on inputs derived from observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments or pricing models, such as discounted cash flow techniques. Refer to Note 15 for additional information.
	Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of each reporting period.
	Pension and Postretirement Benefits
	The Company has U.S. and foreign pension and postretirement benefit plans which provide benefits to a defined group of employees who satisfy age and length of service requirements at the discretion of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has several stand-alone non-contributory defined benefit plans and postretirement medical plans. Depending on the plan, pension and postretirement benefits are based on a combination of factors, which may include salary, age and years of service.
	Pension expense has been determined in accordance with the principles of U.S. GAAP. The Company's policy is to fund pension plans in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Employee benefit plan obligations and expenses included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are determined from actuarial analyses based on plan assumptions, employee demographic data, years of service, compensation, benefits and claims paid and employer contributions.
	The expense related to the postretirement plans has been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Company accrues the cost of these benefits during the years that employees render service.
	The Company participates in three multi-employer pension plans and makes contributions to those plans, which are recorded in either cost of sales or SG&A expenses. Withdrawal liabilities are recorded once the withdrawal is determined to be probable and estimable. Refer to Note 14 for additional information.
	Risk Management Programs
	The Company retains selected levels of property, casualty, workers' compensation, health and other business risks. Many of these risks are covered under conventional insurance programs with high deductibles or self-insured retentions. Accrued liabilities related to the retained casualty and health risks are calculated based on loss experience and development factors, which contemplate a number of variables including claim history and expected trends. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued liabilities related to the retained risks of $136 million, including both other current and long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded receivables of $35 million for insurance recoveries related to these retained risks.
	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach under U.S. GAAP. This method involves determining the temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and the corresponding amounts recognized for tax purposes and computing the tax-related carryforwards at the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The resulting amounts are deferred tax assets or liabilities. The total of taxes currently payable per the tax return, the deferred tax expense or benefit and the impact of uncertain tax positions represents the income tax expense or benefit for the year for financial reporting purposes.
	The Company periodically assesses the likelihood of realizing its deferred tax assets based on the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. The Company bases its judgment of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets primarily on historical earnings, its estimate of current and expected future earnings and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
	DPS' effective income tax rate may fluctuate on a quarterly and/or annual basis due to various factors, including, but not limited to, total earnings and the mix of earnings by jurisdiction, the timing of changes in tax laws and the amount of tax provided for uncertain tax positions.
	The Company establishes income tax liabilities to remove some or all of the income tax benefit of any of the Company's income tax positions at the time DPS determines that the positions become uncertain based upon one of the following: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount, or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. The Company's evaluation of whether or not a tax position is uncertain is based on the following: (1) DPS presumes the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority such as the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that has full knowledge of all relevant information, (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position, and (3) each tax position is evaluated without considerations of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. The Company adjusts these income tax liabilities when the Company's judgment changes as a result of new information. Any change will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
	Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes sales revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) delivery; (2) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; (3) pricing is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer. Net sales are reported net of costs associated with customer marketing programs and incentives, as described below, as well as sales taxes and other similar taxes.
Multiple deliverables were included in the arrangements entered into with PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo") and The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola") during 2010. In these cases, the Company first determined whether each deliverable met the separation criteria under U.S. GAAP. The primary requirement for a deliverable to meet the separation criteria is if the deliverable has stand-alone value to the customer. Each deliverable that meets the separation criteria is considered a separate "unit of accounting". As the sale of the manufacturing and distribution rights and the ongoing sales of concentrate would not have stand-alone value to the customer, both deliverables were determined to represent a single element of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition. The one-time nonrefundable cash receipts from PepsiCo and Coca-Cola were therefore recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as net sales ratably over the estimated 25-year life of the customer relationship.
Customer Marketing Programs and Incentives
The Company offers a variety of incentives and discounts to bottlers, customers and consumers through various programs to support the distribution of its products. These incentives and discounts include cash discounts, price allowances, volume based rebates, product placement fees and other financial support for items such as trade promotions, displays, new products, consumer incentives and advertising assistance. These incentives and discounts are reflected as a reduction of gross sales to arrive at net sales. The aggregate deductions from gross sales recorded in relation to these programs were approximately $3,682 million, $3,618 million and $3,751 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amounts of trade spend are larger in the Packaged Beverages segment than those related to other parts of our business. Accruals are established for the expected payout based on contractual terms, volume-based metrics and/or historical trends and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels.
Transportation and Warehousing Costs
The Company incurred $802 million, $776 million and $775 million of transportation and warehousing costs during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts, which primarily relate to shipping and handling costs, are recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Advertising and Marketing Expense
Advertising and marketing production costs related to television, print, radio and other marketing investments are expensed as of the first date the advertisement takes place. All other advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense was approximately $473 million, $486 million and $481 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenses are recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, prepaid advertising and marketing costs of approximately $17 million and $12 million, respectively, were recorded as other current and non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Research and Development  Costs
Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and amounted to $18 million, $21 million and $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenses are recorded when incurred in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the recognition of compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income related to the fair value of employee stock-based awards. Compensation cost is based on the grant-date fair value, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options. The fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") is determined based on the number of units granted and the grant date price of common stock. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably, less estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is adjusted quarterly based on the current estimate of performance compared to the target metric. Refer to Note 16 for additional information .
Deferred Compensation Plan
Employee and employer matching contributions under the supplemental savings plan ("SPP") are maintained in a rabbi trust and are not readily available to us. Participants can direct the investment of their deferred compensation plan accounts in the same investments funds offered by the DPS' Savings Incentive Plan (the "SIP"). Although participants direct the investment of these funds, they are classified as trading securities and are included in other non-current assets. The corresponding liability related to the deferred compensation plan is recorded in other non-current liabilities. Gains and losses in connection with these trading securities are recorded in other expense (income), net, with an offset for the same amount recorded in SG&A expenses. We had deferred compensation plan assets of $25 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gains associated with these trading securities were $1 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's operations outside the U.S. is generally the local currency of the country where the operations are located. The balance sheets of operations outside the U.S. are translated into U.S. Dollars at the end of year rates. The results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars at a monthly average rate, calculated using daily exchange rates.
The following table sets forth exchange rate information for the periods and currencies indicated:
Mexican Peso to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate	End of Year Rates			Annual Average Rates
2014	14.74			13.31
2013	13.08			12.77
2012	12.97			13.15
Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate	End of Year Rates			Annual Average Rates
2014	1.16			1.1
2013	1.06			1.03
2012	0.99			1
Differences arising from the translation of opening balance sheets of these entities to the rate ruling at the end of the financial year are recognized in AOCL. The differences arising from the translation of foreign results at the average rate are also recognized in AOCL. Such translation differences are recognized as income or expense in the period in which the Company disposes of the operations.
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the approximate rate of exchange at the transaction date. Assets and liabilities resulting from these transactions are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. All such differences are recorded in results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) ("ASU 2014-08"). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 provide guidance for the recognition and disclosure of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), to provide guidance on management's responsibility to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect adoption of the standard to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Provisions of U.S. GAAP
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the following provisions, which had no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, were effective as of January 1, 2014:
•the requirement to provide disclosures related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements from which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date; and
•the requirement related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists.

The fair value of the consideration paid for this acquisition was $23 million, consisting of the issuance by the Company of 313,105 shares of common stock to DP/7UP West and $10 million in cash. The fair value of the common stock issued was determined using the closing stock price on the acquisition date.
	The following table summarizes the allocation of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class for the acquisition (in millions):
		Fair Value			Useful Life
	Property, plant & equipment	$	7		3 - 40 years
	Distribution rights: definite-lived	2			5 - 15 years
	Distribution rights: indefinite-lived	10			—
	Goodwill	5			—
	Current liabilities, net of current assets assumed	(1		)	—
	Total	$	23
	The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values was recorded as goodwill.
	In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $5 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The Company also recorded $12 million in intangible assets related to distribution rights. DP/7UP West has 20,780 shares of the Company's common stock remaining in an escrow account to satisfy certain working capital adjustments and applicable indemnification claims, pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement.

	In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company conducts impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually, as of October 1, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of impairment testing, DPS assigns goodwill to the reporting unit that benefits from the synergies arising from each business combination and also assigns indefinite-lived intangible assets to its reporting units. The Company defines reporting units as Beverage Concentrates, Latin America Beverages and Packaged Beverages' two reporting units, DSD and WD.
	The impairment test for indefinite lived intangible assets encompasses calculating a fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, impairment is recorded. The impairment tests for goodwill include comparing a fair value of the respective reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill and considering any indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges ("Step 1"). If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, impairment is indicated and a second step analysis must be performed.
	2014 Impairment Analysis
	Fair value is measured based on what each intangible asset or reporting unit would be worth to a third party market participant. For the annual impairment analysis performed as of October 1, 2014, methodologies used to determine the fair values of the assets included an income based approach, as well as an overall consideration of market capitalization and the Company's enterprise value. Management's estimates of fair value, which fall under Level 3, are based on historical and projected operating performance. Discount rates were based on a weighted average cost of equity and cost of debt and were adjusted with various risk premiums. For 2014, discount rates ranged from 5.10% to 11.85%.
	As of October 1, 2014, the results of the annual impairment tests indicated no impairment was required. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value for all of the Company's goodwill by at least 50%. The results of the impairment test for brands are as follows (in millions):
	Headroom Percentage		Fair Value			Carrying Value
	0 - 10%		$	—		$	—
	11 - 20%		—			—
	21 - 50%		259			191

	2013 Impairment Analysis
	For the annual impairment analysis performed as of October 1, 2013, methodologies used to determine the fair values of the assets included an income based approach, as well as an overall consideration of market capitalization and the Company's enterprise value. Management's estimates of fair value, which fall under Level 3, are based on historical and projected operating performance. Discount rates were based on a weighted average cost of equity and cost of debt and were adjusted with various risk premiums. For 2013, discount rates ranged from 8.00% to 13.25%.
	As of October 1, 2013, the results of the annual impairment tests indicated no impairment was required. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying value for all of the Company's goodwill by at least 50% except for DSD, which was 7%. The results of the impairment test for brands are as follows (in millions):

	The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur indebtedness secured by principal properties, to enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions and to enter into certain mergers or transfers of substantially all of DPS' assets. The senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenant requirements.
	The 2020 and 2022 Notes
	On November 20, 2012, the Company completed the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes. The discount associated with these notes was approximately $3 million. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay the aggregate principal amount of the 2.35% senior notes due December 21, 2012 (the "2012 Notes") at maturity and for general corporate purposes.
	The 2019 and 2021 Notes
	On November 15, 2011, the Company completed the issuance of two tranches of senior unsecured notes consisting of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes. The discount associated with these notes was approximately $1 million. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay the aggregate principal amount of the 1.70% senior notes due December 21, 2011 at maturity and for general corporate purposes.
	The 2016 Notes
	On January 11, 2011, the Company completed the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Notes at a discount of $1 million. The net proceeds from the issuance were used to replace a portion of the cash used to purchase the 2018 Notes tendered pursuant to the tender offer described below.
	The 2018 and 2038 Notes
	On April 30, 2008, the Company completed the issuance of two tranches of senior unsecured notes consisting of $1,200 million aggregate principal amount of the 2018 Notes and $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2038 Notes.
	In December 2010, the Company completed a tender offer for a portion of the 2018 Notes and retired, at a premium, an aggregate principal amount of approximately $476 million. The aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2018 Notes was $724 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
	Commercial Paper Program
	On December 10, 2010, the Company entered into a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes (the "Commercial Paper") on a private placement basis up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $500 million. The program is supported by the Revolver, which is discussed below. Outstanding Commercial Paper reduces the amount of borrowing capacity available under the Revolver and outstanding amounts under the Revolver reduce the Commercial Paper availability. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding Commercial Paper. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding Commercial Paper of $65 million with maturities of 90 days or less with a weighted average interest rate of 0.26%.
	Unsecured Credit Agreement
	On September 25, 2012, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $500 million revolving line of credit (the "Revolver"). Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at a floating rate per annum based upon the alternate base rate ("ABR") or the Eurodollar rate, in each case plus an applicable margin which varies based upon the Company's debt ratings. Rates range from 0.000% to 0.300% for ABR loans and from 0.795% to 1.300% for Eurodollar loans. The ABR is defined as the greater of (a) JPMorgan Chase Bank's prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.500% and (c) the adjusted LIBOR for a one month interest period. The adjusted LIBOR is the London interbank offered rate for dollars adjusted for a statutory reserve rate set by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America.
	Additionally, the Revolver is available for the issuance of letters of credit and swingline advances not to exceed $75 million and $50 million, respectively. Swingline advances will accrue interest at a rate equal to the ABR plus the applicable margin. Letters of credit and swingline advances will reduce, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount available under the Revolver.
	The Credit Agreement further provides that the Company may request at any time, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, that the aggregate commitments under the facility be increased by a total amount not to exceed $250 million.
	The Credit Agreement's representations, warranties, covenants and events of default are generally customary for investment grade credit and include a covenant that requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated total debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to annualized consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 3.00 to 1.00, tested quarterly. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, among other things, amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the commitments may be terminated. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of September 25, 2017; however, with the consent of lenders holding more than 50% of the total commitments under the Credit Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may extend the maturity date for up to two additional one-year terms.
	The following table provides amounts utilized and available under the Revolver and each sublimit arrangement type as of December 31, 2014 (in millions):
		Amount Utilized				Balances Available
	Revolver	$	—			$	499
	Letters of credit	1				74
	Swingline advances	—				50
	An unused commitment fee is payable quarterly to the lenders on the unused portion of the commitments of the Revolver equal to 0.08% to 0.20% per annum, depending upon the Company's debt ratings. The Company incurred $1 million in unused commitment fees during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
	Shelf Registration Statement
	On February 7, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") authorized the Company to issue up to $1,500 million of securities from time to time. Subsequently, the Company filed a "well-known seasoned issuer" shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, effective May 23, 2013, which registered an indeterminable amount of securities for future sales. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had not issued any securities under this shelf registration statement.
	Letters of Credit Facilities
	In addition to the portion of the Revolver reserved for issuance of letters of credit, the Company has incremental letters of credit facilities. Under these facilities, $140 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit, $63 million of which was utilized as of December 31, 2014 and $77 million of which remains available for use.

Derivatives [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives
	DPS is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
	•interest rates;
	•foreign exchange rates; and
	•commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials and fuels.
	The Company manages these risks through a variety of strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, commodity forward and future contracts and supplier pricing agreements. DPS does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	INTEREST RATES
	Cash Flow Hedges
	During the fourth quarter of 2014, in order to hedge the variability in cash flows from interest rate changes associated with the Company's planned issuances of long-term debt, the Company entered into a forward starting swap agreement with an aggregate notional value of $125 million in order to fix the rate for a portion of a future 30 year unsecured debt issuance before the due date of the 2016 Notes. The forward starting swap is expected to be unwound at the issuance of the debt.
	The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is being recorded in AOCL and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffectiveness, if any, related to the Company's changes in estimates about the debt issuance related to the forward starting swap would be recognized directly in earnings as a component of interest expense during the period incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company realized no ineffectiveness as a result of this hedging relationship.
	Fair Value Hedges
	The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in the fair value of certain fixed-rate debt attributable to changes in interest rates and manages these risks through the use of receive-fixed, pay-variable interest rate swaps.
	In December 2010, the Company entered into an interest rate swap having a notional amount of $100 million and maturing in May 2038 in order to effectively convert a portion of the 2038 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt and designated it as a fair value hedge. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, with any ineffectiveness recorded in earnings as interest expense during the period incurred. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of the fair value hedge on the 2038 Notes increased the carrying value by $23 million and $2 million, respectively.
	In November 2011, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $250 million and durations ranging from seven to ten years in order to convert fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating rate debt. These swaps were entered into upon the issuance of the 2019 and 2021 Notes, and were accounted for as fair value hedges and qualified for the shortcut method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of the fair value hedge on the 2019 and 2021 Notes decreased the carrying value by $1 million and $11 million, respectively.
	In November 2012, the Company entered into five interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $120 million and maturing in January 2020 in order to effectively convert fixed-rate, long-term debt to floating rate debt. These swaps were entered into upon the issuance of the 2020 Notes, and were accounted for as fair value hedges and qualified for the shortcut method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of the fair value hedge on the 2020 Notes decreased the carrying value by $4 million and $7 million, respectively.
	In December 2013, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $250 million and maturing in November 2022 in order to effectively convert all of the 2022 Notes from fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt and designated it as a fair value hedge. The assessment of hedge effectiveness is made by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate with the cumulative changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap, with any ineffectiveness recorded in earnings as interest expense during the period incurred. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the impact of the fair value hedge on the 2022 Notes increased the carrying value by $16 million and decreased the carrying value by $2 million, respectively.
	FOREIGN EXCHANGE
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company's Canadian business purchases its inventory through transactions denominated and settled in U.S. dollars, a currency different from the functional currency of the Canadian business. These inventory purchases are subject to exposure from movements in exchange rates. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company utilized foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage the exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. The intent of these foreign exchange contracts is to provide predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities between one and 12 months as of December 31, 2014. The Company had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts with notional amounts of $10 million and $45 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	COMMODITIES
	Economic Hedges
	DPS centrally manages the exposure to volatility in the prices of certain commodities used in its production process and transportation through forward and future contracts. The intent of these contracts is to provide a certain level of predictability in the Company's overall cost structure. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company held forward and future contracts that economically hedged certain of its risks. In these cases, a natural hedging relationship exists in which changes in the fair value of the instruments act as an economic offset to changes in the fair value of the underlying items. Changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in net income throughout the term of the derivative instrument and are reported in the same line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income as the hedged transaction. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of unallocated corporate costs until the Company's operating segments are affected by the completion of the underlying transaction, at which time the gain or loss is reflected as a component of the respective segment's operating profit ("SOP"). The total notional values of derivatives related to economic hedges of this type were $160 million and $179 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
	The following table summarizes the location of the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):
		Balance Sheet Location		December 31,				December 31,

	-1	Interest rate contracts as of December 31, 2014 did not include any offsetting amounts. Interest rate contracts as of December 31, 2013 include gross and offsetting amounts of $19 million and $2 million, respectively. These contracts are subject to a netting provision included within the counterparty agreements whereby the Company pays interest either quarterly or semi-annually and receives interest payments semi-annually. These payables and receivables are netted as appropriate.
	IMPACT OF CASH FLOW HEDGES
	The following table presents the impact of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP to the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

	-1	Due to the resolution of the 2006-2008 IRS audit and the Canada amortization law change in 2013, the Company recognized indemnity expense, net of $392 million as a result of the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement ("Tax Indemnity Agreement"). Since the indemnity expense is not deductible for income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes also included a permanent difference of $137 million.
	-2	Amounts represent tax expense recorded by the Company for which Mondelēz was obligated to indemnify DPS under the Tax Indemnity Agreement but excludes the amounts with respect to the completion of the 2006-2008 IRS audit and the Canada amortization law change as they are separately shown on the rate reconciliation.
	The effective tax rates for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 34.6% and (14.9)%, respectively. The primary reason for the change in the tax rates was the conclusion of an IRS audit and a Canadian law change as described below.
	Due to the completion of the IRS audit for the Company's 2006-2008 federal income tax returns in August 2013, DPS recognized a federal and state income tax benefit of $463 million primarily related to decreasing its liability for unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, in June 2013, a bill was enacted by the Canadian government, which reduced amounts amortized for income tax purposes. As a result, DPS recognized $50 million of income tax expense for the reduction of tax assets. Refer to Note 13 for additional information on the indemnity impact related to the conclusion of the IRS audit and the Canada amortization law change. When combined with the associated impact to other expense, net as referred to in footnote 1 in the table above, these two events decreased the Company's effective tax rate by 50.4% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):
		December 31,			December 31,
		2014			2013
	Deferred income tax assets:
	Deferred revenue	$	501		$	530
	Accrued liabilities	72			70
	Pension and postretirement benefits	36			29
	Net operating loss and credit carryforwards	22			24
	Compensation	34			22
	Inventory	4			10
	Other	37			35

	Deferred income tax liabilities:
	Intangible assets and goodwill	(1,116		)	(1,075		)
	Fixed assets	(198		)	(204		)
	Other	(21		)	(12		)
		(1,335		)	(1,291		)
	Valuation allowance	(31		)	(33		)
	Net deferred income tax liability	$	(660	)	$	(604	)
	As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $22 million in tax effected credit carryforwards and net operating loss carryforwards. Net operating loss and credit carryforwards will expire in periods beyond the next five years.
	The Company had a deferred tax valuation allowance of $31 million and $33 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A valuation allowance of $12 million relates to a foreign operation and was established as part of the separation transaction. The remaining $19 million valuation allowance relates to foreign tax credits primarily generated in 2011. The Company provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset related to the foreign tax credits as the Company does not believe that the benefits will be realized in future years.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, undistributed earnings in non-U.S. subsidiaries for which no deferred taxes have been provided totaled approximately $354 million and $291 million, respectively. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on these earnings because the Company has either asserted indefinite reinvestment or outside tax basis exceeds book basis. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional tax that might be payable on these undistributed foreign earnings.
	The Company files income tax returns for U.S. federal purposes and in various state jurisdictions. The Company also files income tax returns in various foreign jurisdictions, principally Canada and Mexico. The U.S. and most state income tax returns for years prior to 2011 are closed to examination by applicable tax authorities. Canadian income tax returns are open for audit for tax years 2008 and forward and Mexican income tax returns are generally open for tax years 2000 and forward. Canadian income tax returns are under audit for the 2009-2013 tax years and Mexican income tax returns are under audit for the 2008 and 2009 tax years.
	The following is a reconciliation of the changes in the gross balance of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):
	December 31,			December 31,			December 31,
	2014			2013			2012
Beginning balance	$	14		$	469		$	480
Increases related to tax positions taken during the current year	—			1			—
Increases related to tax positions taken during the prior year	3			6			3
Decreases related to tax positions taken during the prior year	(2		)	(432		)	(4		)
Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities	(1		)	(27		)	(4		)
Decreases related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations	(1		)	(3		)	(6		)
Ending balance	$	13		$	14		$	469
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate is $9 million after considering the federal impact of state income taxes. During the next twelve months, the Company does not expect a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company accrues interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes. The Company did not recognize any interest and penalties for uncertain tax positions in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a benefit of $93 million for interest and penalties previously recorded, primarily a result of the resolution of the 2006-2008 IRS audit. The amount of interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company had a total of $5 million and $6 million accrued for interest and penalties for its uncertain tax positions primarily reported as part of other non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	The Company has historically recorded indemnification income from Mondelēz under the Tax Indemnity Agreement as other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the IRS concluded an audit which included separation-related items and, as a result, the Company recognized $430 million of other expense, net, as DPS no longer anticipates collecting amounts from Mondelēz. For the year ended December 31, 2013, this amount was partially offset by a $38 million non-cash reduction of the Company's long-term liability to Mondelēz as a result of a bill enacted by the Canadian government which reduced amounts amortized for income tax purposes. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on the conclusion of the IRS audit.

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans
	PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
	Overview
	The Company has U.S. and foreign pension and postretirement medical plans which provide benefits to a defined group of employees. The Company has several non-contributory defined benefit plans and postretirement medical plans, each having a measurement date of December 31. To participate in the defined benefit plans, eligible employees must have been employed by the Company for at least one year. The postretirement benefits are limited to qualified expenses and are subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other provisions. Employee benefit plan obligations and expenses included in the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements are determined using actuarial analyses based on plan assumptions including employee demographic data such as years of service and compensation, benefits and claims paid and employer contributions, among others. The Company also participates in various multi-employer defined benefit plans.
	The Company's largest U.S. defined benefit pension plan, which is a cash balance plan, was suspended and the accrued benefit was frozen effective December 31, 2008. Participants in this plan no longer earn additional benefits for future services or salary increases. The cash balance plans maintain individual recordkeeping accounts for each participant which are annually credited with interest credits equal to the 12-month average of one-year U.S. Treasury Bill rates, plus 1%, with a required minimum rate of 5%.
	Financial Statement Impact

	During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company purchased annuity contracts from an insurance company to transfer certain of its projected benefit obligation and assets related to participants currently receiving benefits as part of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans. These actions relieve the company of primary responsibility for the pension obligations associated with these participants and eliminate significant risks related to the obligation and assets used to effect the settlement. As a result, the projected benefit obligation and plan assets were reduced by $82 million, of which $71 million related to the purchase of the annuity with the remainder related to lump sum benefit payments to various participants. The decrease to the projected benefit obligation was partially offset by an increase in the obligation resulting from a change in the discount rate and mortality table used in the annual measurement.
	Expected mortality is a key assumption in the measurement for pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. For the Company’s U.S. plans, this assumption was updated as of December 31, 2014 in order to reflect the Society of Actuaries’ Retirement Plan Experience Committee’s updated mortality tables and mortality improvement scale published in October 2014.This resulted in an increase of 4% to the Company's benefit obligation.
	The accumulated benefit obligations for the defined benefit pension plans were $223 million and $256 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The pension plan assets and the projected benefit obligations of DPS' U.S. plans represent approximately 90% of both the total plan assets and the total projected benefit obligation, respectively, of all plans combined as of December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes key pension plan information regarding plans whose accumulated benefit obligations exceed the fair value of their respective plan assets (in millions):
		2014				2013

	The estimated net actuarial loss for the defined benefit plans that will be amortized from AOCL into periodic benefit cost in 2015 is approximately $4 million.  The estimated prior service cost for the defined benefit plans that will be amortized from AOCL into periodic benefit costs in 2015 is not significant.
The Company recognized a non-cash settlement loss of $16 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 which included $14 million as a result of the purchased annuity contracts. The settlement loss is primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized actuarial losses that were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. During the prior year, the total amount of lump sum payments made to participants of various U.S. defined pension plans exceeded the estimated annual interest and service costs. As a result, non-cash settlement charges of $3 million were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2013. There was no settlement charge recognized for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The following table summarizes amounts included in AOCL for the plans as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

Actuarial Assumptions
The Company's pension expense was calculated based upon a number of actuarial assumptions including discount rate, retirement age, compensation rate increases and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for pension benefits and the healthcare cost trend rate related to its postretirement medical plans.
The discount rate utilized to determine the Company's projected benefit obligations as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as projected 2015 net periodic benefit cost for U.S. plans, reflects the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be effectively settled as of the end of the year. The Company set its rate to reflect the yield of a portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments that would produce cash flows sufficient in timing and amount to settle projected future benefits.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the expected long-term rate of return on U.S. pension fund assets held by the Company's pension trusts was determined based on several factors, including the impact of active portfolio management and projected long-term returns of broad equity and bond indices. The plans' historical returns were also considered. The expected long-term rate of return on the assets in the plans was based on an asset allocation assumption of approximately 25% with equity managers, with expected long-term rates of return of approximately 9.20%, 8.20% and 8.51% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately 75% with fixed income managers, with an expected long-term rate of return of approximately 3.90%, 6.00% and 5.10% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The following table summarizes the weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at the plan measurement dates for U.S. plans:
							Postretirement
	Pension Plans						Medical Plans
	2014			2013			2014			2013

Total	100	%		100	%		100	%
Investment Policy and Strategy
DPS has established formal investment policies for the assets associated with defined benefit plans. The Company's investment policy and strategy are mandated by the Company's Investment Committee. The overriding investment objective is to provide for the availability of funds for pension obligations as they become due, to maintain an overall level of financial asset adequacy and to maximize long-term investment return consistent with a reasonable level of risk. DPS' pension plan investment strategy includes the use of actively-managed securities. Investment performance both by investment manager and asset class is periodically reviewed, as well as overall market conditions with consideration of the long-term investment objectives. None of the plan assets are invested directly in equity or debt instruments issued by DPS. It is possible that insignificant indirect investments exist through its equity holdings. The equity and fixed income investments under DPS' sponsored pension plan assets are currently well diversified.
The plans' asset allocation policy is reviewed at least annually. Factors considered when determining the appropriate asset allocation include changes in plan liabilities, an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash requirements for benefit payments. The investment policy contains allowable ranges in asset mix as outlined in the table below:
Asset Category	Target Range
U.S. equity securities	15% - 25%
International equity securities	5% - 10%
U.S. fixed income	65% - 85%

MULTI-EMPLOYER PLANS
The Company participates in three trustee-managed multi-employer defined benefit pension plans for union-represented employees under certain collective bargaining agreements. The risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans due to the following:
•	Assets contributed to the multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.
•	If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.
•	If the Company chooses to stop participating in some of its multi-employer plans, the Company may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability.
Contributions paid into the multi-employer plans are expensed as incurred. Multi-employer plan expense was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):

____________________________
-1	Contributions to individually significant multi-employer plans for the year ended December 31, 2014 include amounts contributed to the Soft Drink Industry Local Union 710 Pension Fund ("Local 710") which the Company fully withdrew and ceased participation in the plan as of December 31, 2014. Local 710 was considered an individually significant multi-employer when the contributions were made to the plan prior to the withdrawal and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
-2	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $56 million withdrawal charge for the withdrawal from the Local 710. This item was presented as a multi-employer pension plan withdrawal in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As the withdrawal charge represents the Company's best estimate of the potential amount of the quarterly assessment by Local 710 and the anticipated timing of those assessed payments, actual costs may differ from amounts recorded.
-3	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $1 million withdrawal charge for one of the collective bargaining units under a multi-employer pension plan based on the trustees' assessment. These charges were recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Individually Significant Multi-employer Plan
The Company participates in the following individually significant multi-employer plan as of December 31, 2014:

-1	FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented indicates the plan for which a financial improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") is either pending or implemented.
-2	Central States includes eight collective bargaining agreements. The largest agreement, which is set to expire June 21, 2015, covers approximately 48% of the employees included in Central States. Approximately 72% of the employees included in Central States are covered by three collective bargaining agreements set to expire during 2015.
The most recent Pension Protection Act ("PPA") zone status available as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is for the plan's year-end as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Neither plan has utilized any extended amortization provisions that affect the calculation of the zone status.
The Company's contributions to the Central States did not exceed 5% of the total contributions made to the Central States for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Future estimated contributions for the Central States based on the number of covered employees and the terms of the collective bargaining agreements are as follows (in millions):

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
The Company sponsors the SIP, which is a qualified 401(k) Retirement Plan that covers substantially all U.S.-based employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. This plan permits both pre-tax and after-tax contributions, which are subject to limitations imposed by Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") regulations. The Company matches employees' contributions up to specified levels.
The Company also sponsors the SSP, which is a non-qualified defined contribution plan for employees who are actively enrolled in the SIP and whose after-tax contributions under the SIP are limited by the Code compensation limitations.
The Company's employer matching contributions to the SIP and SSP plans were approximately $16 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 and $15 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Additionally, current participants in the SIP and SSP are eligible for an enhanced defined contribution (the "EDC"). Contributions began accruing for plan participants after a one-year waiting period for participant entry into the plan, which vest after three years of service with the Company. The Company made contributions of $16 million to the EDC for the plan years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

	Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP provides a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. The three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:
	Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
	Level 3 - Valuations with one or more unobservable significant inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.
	RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):
		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014
		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets		Significant Other Observable Inputs		Significant Unobservable Inputs

	Commodity contracts	$	—	$	13	$	—
	Interest rate contracts	—		34		—
	Total liabilities	$	—	$	47	$	—
	The fair values of marketable securities are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets based on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and were classified as Level 1. The fair values of commodity forward and future contracts, interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The fair value of commodity forward and future contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions, primarily underlying commodities futures or physical index prices, at the reporting date. Interest rate swap contracts are valued using models based primarily on readily observable market parameters, such as LIBOR forward rates, for all substantial terms of the Company's contracts and credit risk of the counterparties. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts are valued using quoted forward foreign exchange prices at the reporting date. Therefore, the Company has categorized these contracts as Level 2.
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis without observable market values that would require a high level of judgment to determine fair value (Level 3).
	There were no transfers of financial instruments between the three levels of fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
	FAIR VALUE OF PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLAN ASSETS
	The fair value hierarchy discussed above is not only applicable to assets and liabilities that are included in our consolidated balance sheets, but is also applied to certain other assets that indirectly impact our consolidated financial statements. For example, our Company sponsors and/or contributes to a number of pension and postretirement medical plans. Assets contributed by the Company become the property of the individual plans. Even though the Company no longer has control over these assets, DPS is indirectly impacted by subsequent fair value adjustments to these assets. The actual return on these assets impacts the Company's future net periodic benefit cost, as well as amounts recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 14 for additional information regarding the Company's pension and postretirement medical plans. The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the fair value of assets held by our various pension and postretirement medical plans.

Refer to Note 10 for additional information regarding derivatives.
Capital leases have been excluded from the calculation of fair value for both 2014 and 2013.
The fair value amounts of long term debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, were based on current market rates available to the Company (Level 2 inputs). The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount that would be paid or received to retire all debt at such date.
FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, commercial paper, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate carrying amounts due to the short maturities of these instruments.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The components of stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are presented below (in millions):
		For the Year Ended December 31,
		2014				2013				2012
	Total stock-based compensation expense	$	48			$	37			$	35
	Income tax benefit recognized in the income statement	(17		)		(12		)		(12		)
	Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	31			$	25			$	23
	DPS is required to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option, RSU and PSU forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
	DESCRIPTION OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
	Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan of 2009
	During 2009, the Company adopted the Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan of 2009 (the "2009 Stock Plan") under which employees, consultants and non-employee directors may be granted stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, RSUs or PSUs. This plan provides for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subsequent to adoption, the Company's Compensation Committee granted RSUs and PSUs, which vest after three years, and stock options, which vest ratably over three years. Each RSU and PSU is to be settled for one share of the Company's common stock on the respective vesting date of the RSU and PSU. No other types of stock-based awards have been granted under the 2009 Stock Plan. Approximately 12,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock were available for future grant as of December 31, 2014. The stock options issued under the 2009 Stock Plan have a maximum option term of 10 years.
	Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan of 2008
	In connection with the separation from Cadbury, on May 5, 2008, Cadbury Schweppes Limited, the Company's sole stockholder, approved the Company's Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan of 2008 (the "2008 Stock Plan") and authorized up to 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be issued under the Stock Plan. Subsequent to May 7, 2008, the Compensation Committee granted under the 2008 Stock Plan (a) options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, which vested ratably over three years commencing with the first anniversary date of the option grant, and (b) RSUs, which vested over a three year period for a substantial portion of RSUs. Each RSU was settled for one share of the Company's common stock on the respective vesting date of the RSU. The stock options issued under the 2008 Stock Plan had a maximum option term of 10 years. There were no shares outstanding under the 2008 Stock Plan as of December 31, 2014.
	STOCK OPTIONS
	The tables below summarize information about the Company's stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
	The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free interest rate used in the option valuation model is based on zero-coupon yields implied by U.S. Treasury issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term on the options. The expected term of the option represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is derived by analyzing historic exercise behavior. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company's stock, historical volatility of the Company's stock and other factors. The Company's expected dividend yield is based on historical dividends declared.
	The weighted average assumptions used to value grant options are detailed below:
			For the Year Ended December 31,
			2014				2013				2012
	Fair value of options at grant date		$	5.8			$	6.92			$	7.05
	Risk free interest rate		1.25		%		0.68		%		0.87		%
	Expected term of options (in years)		4.4				4.5				5.1
	Dividend yield		3.35		%		3.39		%		3.52		%
	Expected volatility		20.03		%		27.42		%		30.64		%
	The table below summarizes stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2014:
		Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
	Outstanding as of January 1, 2014	2,031,833			$	37.59			7.65		$	23
	Granted	667,139			51.68
	Exercised	(1,151,479	)		35.4						24

	Outstanding as of December 31, 2014	1,529,235			45.27				8.2		40
	Exercisable as of December 31, 2014	284,595			38.58				7.01		9
	As of December 31, 2014, there were 1,517,946 stock options vested or expected to vest. The weighted average exercise price of stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $43.82 and $37.80, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options exercised for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $8 million and $18 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was $4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the DPS stock plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.84 years.
	RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
	The table below summarizes RSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2014. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the number of units granted and the grant date price of common stock.
		RSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
	Outstanding as of January 1, 2014	2,139,143			$	39.15			1.12		$	104
	Granted	590,347			51.81
	Vested and released	(730,285	)		36.53						38
	Forfeited	(73,271	)		43.76
	Outstanding as of December 31, 2014	1,925,934			43.85				1.08		138
	The total fair value of RSUs vested was $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.The total fair value of RSUs vested was for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $24 million. The aggregate intrinsic value of the RSUs vested and released for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $37 million and $59 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was $34 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs granted under the DPS stock plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.06 years.
	During the year ended December 31, 2014, 730,285 shares subject to previously granted RSUs vested. A majority of these vested stock awards were net share settled. The Company withheld 239,254 shares based upon the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date to settle the employees' minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. Subsequently, the Company remitted the required funds to the appropriate taxing authorities.
	Total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $14 million and $13 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no payments made to the relevant taxing authorities for the year ended December 31, 2012 as the Company did not net share settle any vested stock awards. These payments are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. These payments were used for tax withholdings related to the net share settlements of RSUs and dividend equivalent units. These payments had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued on the vesting date and were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
	PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS
	In 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a PSU plan. Each PSU is equivalent in value to one share of the Company's common stock. PSUs will vest three years from the beginning date of a pre-determined performance period to the extent the Company has met two performance criteria during the performance period: (i) the percentage growth of net income and (ii) the percentage yield from operating free cash flow.
	The table below summarizes PSU activity for the year ended December 31, 2014. The fair value of performance share units is determined based on the number of units granted and the grant date price of common stock.
		PSUs			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value				Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
	Outstanding as of January 1, 2014	422,866			$	39.88			1.26		$	21
	Granted	154,157			51.88
	Vested and released	(104,165	)		36.42						5
	Forfeited	(28,577	)		38.16
	Outstanding as of December 31, 2014	444,281			44.97				1.07		32
	As of December 31, 2014, there was $14 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested PSUs granted under the DPS Stock Plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.46 years.
	During the year ended December 31, 2014, 104,165 shares subject to previously granted PSUs vested. A majority of these vested PSUs were net share settled. The Company withheld 30,944 shares based upon the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date to settle the employees' minimum statutory obligation for the applicable income and other employment taxes. Subsequently, the Company remitted the required funds to the appropriate taxing authorities.
	Total payments for the employees' tax obligations to the relevant taxing authorities were $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were no payments made to the relevant taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 for the employees' tax obligations as the Company did not have any PSUs that were vested and released. These payments are reflected as a financing activity within the consolidated statements of cash flows. These payments were used for tax withholdings related to the net share settlements of PSUs and dividend equivalent units. These payments had the effect of share repurchases by the Company as they reduced the number of shares that would have otherwise been issued on the vesting date and were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share
	Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities. The following table presents the basic and diluted EPS and the Company's basic and diluted shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in millions, except per share data):
		For the Year Ended December 31,
		2014		2013		2012
	Basic EPS:
	Net income	$	703	$	624	$	629
	Weighted average common shares outstanding	195.8		202.9		210.6
	Earnings per common share — basic	$	3.59	$	3.08	$	2.99
	Diluted EPS:
	Net income	$	703	$	624	$	629
	Weighted average common shares outstanding	195.8		202.9		210.6
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Stock options, RSUs, PSUs and dividend equivalent units	1.6		1.6		1.7
	Weighted average common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents	197.4		204.5		212.3
	Earnings per common share — diluted	$	3.56	$	3.05	$	2.96
	Stock options, RSUs, PSUs and dividend equivalent units totaling 0.3 million shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014, as they were not dilutive. Stock options, RSUs, PSUs and dividend equivalent units totaling 0.5 million shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, as they were not dilutive.
	Under the terms of our RSU and PSU agreements, unvested RSU and PSU awards contain forfeitable rights to dividends and dividend equivalent units. Because the dividend equivalent units are forfeitable, they are defined as non-participating securities. As of December 31, 2014, there were 136,157 dividend equivalent units, which will vest at the time that the underlying RSU and PSU vests.
	During 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Board authorized a total aggregate share repurchase plan of $3 billion. The Company repurchased and retired 6.8 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $400 million, 8.7 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $400 million and 9.5 million shares of common stock valued at approximately $400 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts were recorded as a reduction of equity, primarily additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2014, $172 million remains available for share repurchase under the Board authorization.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases of Lessee Disclosure [Text Block]	Leases
	The Company has leases for certain facilities, fleet and equipment which expire at various dates through 2029. Some lease agreements contain standard renewal provisions that allow us to renew the lease at rates equivalent to fair market value at the end of the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain escalating rent provisions, operating lease expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Under lease agreements that contain rent holidays, rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term, including the period covered by the rent holiday. Operating lease expense was $69 million, $76 million and $80 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
	Future minimum lease payments under operating leases with initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year and capital leases as of December 31, 2014 are as follows (in millions):

Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies
	LEGAL MATTERS
	The Company is occasionally subject to litigation or other legal proceedings. The Company does not believe that the outcome of these, or any other, pending legal matters, individually or collectively, will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity of the Company.
	ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS
	The Company operates many manufacturing, bottling and distribution facilities. In these and other aspects of the Company's business, it is subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. The Company maintains environmental, health and safety policies and a quality, environmental, health and safety program designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations. However, the nature of the Company's business exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to environmental, health and safety matters, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such claims.
	The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, also known as the Superfund law, as well as similar state laws, generally impose joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct. In October 2008, DPS was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency that it is a potentially responsible party for study and cleanup costs at a Superfund site in New Jersey. Investigation and remediation costs are yet to be determined, therefore no reasonable estimate exists on which to base a loss accrual. Through December 31, 2014, the Company has paid approximately $675,000 since the notification for DPS' allocation of costs related to the study for this site.

MAJOR CUSTOMER
WalMart represents one of the Company's major customers and accounted for more than 10% of total net sales. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, DPS recorded net sales to WalMart of $740 million, $734 million and $763 million, respectively. These represent direct sales from the Company to WalMart and were reported in DPS' Packaged Beverages and Latin America Beverages segments.
Additionally, customers in the Company's Beverage Concentrates segment buy concentrate from DPS which is used in finished goods sold by the Company's third party bottlers to WalMart. These indirect sales further increase the concentration of risk associated with DPS' consolidated net sales as it relates to WalMart.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations [Text Block]	Nature of Operations
	DPS is a leading integrated brand owner, manufacturer and distributor of non-alcoholic beverages in the United States ("U.S."), Canada, and Mexico with a diverse portfolio of flavored (non-cola) carbonated soft drinks ("CSDs") and non-carbonated beverages ("NCBs"), including ready-to-drink teas, juices, juice drinks, mixers and water. The Company's brand portfolio includes popular CSD brands such as Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, 7UP, Squirt, Peñafiel, Crush, A&W, Sunkist soda and Schweppes, and NCB brands such as Snapple, Hawaiian Punch, Mott's, Clamato, Mr & Mrs T mixers and Rose's.
	We were incorporated in Delaware on October 24, 2007. In 2008, Cadbury separated its beverage business in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean (the "Americas Beverages business") from its global confectionery business by contributing the subsidiaries that operated its Americas Beverages business to us.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation
	DPS consolidates all wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in companies if the investment provides the Company with the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the investee. Consolidated net income includes DPS' proportionate share of the net income or loss of these companies. Judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investment includes considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy-making decisions and material intercompany transactions.
	The Company is also required to consolidate entities that are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which DPS is the primary beneficiary. Judgments are made in assessing whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, including determination of the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company provided 100% financing to a VIE as part of a short term leasing structure for which DPS is the primary beneficiary. As a result, DPS has consolidated that entity. The Company’s financing of the VIE, which totaled $21 million as of December 31, 2014, included a transfer of cash and assignment of the rights to deposits previously made with a manufacturer in the prior year. The Company's financing of the VIE, which eliminates in consolidation, was used by the VIE to purchase certain property, plant and equipment. The assets and liabilities of the VIE were not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	The Company eliminates from its financial results all intercompany transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements and the intercompany transactions with its equity method investees.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the Company's Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates
	The process of preparing DPS' consolidated
	financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, future expectations and other factors and assumptions the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and judgments are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are revised when necessary. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period of change. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term, highly liquid securities, with original maturities of three months or less.
	The Company is exposed to potential risks associated with its cash and cash equivalents. DPS places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Deposits with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided; however, these deposits typically are redeemable upon demand and, therefore, the Company believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.
	The Company is exposed to potential credit risks associated with its accounts receivable, as it generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable. The Company determines the required allowance for doubtful collections using information such as its customer credit history and financial condition, industry and market segment information, economic trends and conditions and credit reports. Allowances can be affected by changes in the industry, customer credit issues or customer bankruptcies. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered. The Company has not experienced significant credit related losses.
	Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was as follows (in millions):
		2014				2013			2012
	Balance, beginning of the year	$	3			$	3		$	3
	Net charge to costs and expenses	1				1			2
	Write-offs and adjustments	(2		)		(1		)	(2		)
	Balance, end of the year	$	2			$	3		$	3
	As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ("WalMart") accounted for approximately $67 million and $64 million of trade receivables, respectively, which exceeded 10% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is primarily determined for inventories of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries by the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") valuation method. The cost for inventories of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is determined by the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") valuation method. The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor and indirect production and overhead costs. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventories are based on an assessment of slow-moving and obsolete inventories, determined by historical usage and demand. Excess and obsolete inventory reserves were $2 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
	Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost plus capitalized interest on borrowings during the actual construction period of major capital projects, net of accumulated depreciation. Significant improvements which substantially extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. The costs of major rebuilds and replacements of plant and equipment are capitalized and expenditures for repairs and maintenance which do not improve or extend the life of the assets are expensed as incurred. When property, plant and equipment is sold or retired, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any net gain or loss is recorded in other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
	For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful asset lives as follows:
	Type of Asset	Useful Life
	Buildings			40 years
	Building improvements	5	to	35 years
	Machinery and equipment	3	to	23 years
	Vehicles	5	to	12 years
	Cold drink equipment	3	to	7 years
	Computer software	3	to	8 years
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the assets or the lease term. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when warranted, are updated.
	The Company periodically reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In order to assess recoverability, DPS compares the estimated undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows from the use of the asset or group of assets, as defined, to the carrying amount of such assets. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets over the long-lived asset's fair value. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no analysis was warranted.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
	The Company classifies intangible assets into two categories: (1) intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization and (2) intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization. The majority of the Company's intangible asset balance is made up of brands which the Company has determined to have indefinite useful lives. In arriving at the conclusion that a brand has an indefinite useful life, management reviews factors such as size, diversification and market share of each brand. Management expects to acquire, hold and support brands for an indefinite period through consumer marketing and promotional support. The Company also considers factors such as its ability to continue to protect the legal rights that arise from these brand names indefinitely or the absence of any regulatory, economic or competitive factors that could truncate the life of the brand name. If the criteria are not met to assign an indefinite life, the brand is amortized over its expected useful life.
	Identifiable intangible assets deemed by the Company to have determinable finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
	Type of Intangible Asset	Useful Life
	Brands			10 years
	Customer relationships			10 years
	Distribution rights	5	to	15 years
	DPS conducts tests for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For intangible assets with definite lives, tests for impairment are performed if conditions exist that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. For goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company conducts tests for impairment annually, as of October 1, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We use present value and other valuation techniques to make this assessment.
	The tests for impairment include significant judgment in estimating the fair value of reporting units and intangible assets primarily by analyzing forecasts of future revenues and profit performance. Fair value is based on what the reporting units and intangible assets would be worth to a third party market participant. Discount rates are based on a weighted average cost of equity and cost of debt, adjusted with various risk premiums. Management's estimates of fair value, which fall under Level 3, are based on historical and projected operating performance. Refer to Note 7 for additional information.
Other Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Capitalized Customer Incentive Programs
	The Company provides support to certain customers to cover various programs and initiatives to increase net sales, including contributions to customers or vendors for cold drink equipment used to market and sell the Company's products. These programs and initiatives generally directly benefit the Company over a period of time. Accordingly, costs of these programs and initiatives are recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs for these programs are amortized over the period to be directly benefited based upon a methodology consistent with the Company's contractual rights under these arrangements.
	These programs and initiatives recorded in the current and non-current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $73 million and $83 million, net of accumulated amortization, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amortization charge for the cost of contributions to customers or vendors for cold drink equipment was $4 million, $3 million and $5 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recorded in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amortization charge for the cost of other programs and incentives was $13 million, $15 million and $17 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was recorded as a deduction from gross sales.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivatives
	The Company formally designates and accounts for certain interest rate contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts that meet established accounting criteria under U.S. GAAP as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded, net of applicable taxes, in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss ("AOCL"), a component of Stockholders' Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. When net income is affected by the variability of the underlying transaction, the applicable offsetting amount of the gain or loss from the derivative instrument deferred in AOCL is reclassified to net income and is reported as a component of the Consolidated Statements of Income. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the effective change in the fair value of the instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized immediately in current-period earnings. For derivatives that are not designated as a hedging instrument, which creates an economic hedge, or de-designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss on the instrument is recognized in earnings in the period of change.
	Certain interest rate swap agreements qualify for the shortcut method of accounting for hedges under U.S. GAAP. Under the shortcut method, the hedges are assumed to be perfectly effective and no ineffectiveness is recorded in earnings. For all other designated hedges, the Company assesses at the time the derivative contract is entered into, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivative instrument is effective in offsetting the changes in fair value or cash flows. DPS also measures hedge ineffectiveness on a quarterly basis throughout the designated period. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument that do not effectively offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item throughout the designated hedge period are recorded in earnings each period.
	If a fair value or cash flow hedge were to cease to qualify for hedge accounting, or were terminated, it would continue to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value until settled, but hedge accounting would be discontinued prospectively. If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, any associated amounts reported in AOCL are reclassified to earnings at that time.  Refer to Note 10 for additional information.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value
	The fair value of senior unsecured notes and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 are based on quoted market prices for publicly traded securities.
	The Company estimates fair values of financial instruments measured at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis to ensure they are calculated based on market rates to settle the instruments. These values represent the estimated amounts DPS would pay or receive to terminate agreements, taking into consideration current market rates and creditworthiness. The fair value for financial instruments categorized as Level 1 is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments categorized as Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques based on inputs derived from observable market data, quoted market prices for similar instruments or pricing models, such as discounted cash flow techniques. Refer to Note 15 for additional information.
	Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of each reporting period.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Postretirement Benefits
	The Company has U.S. and foreign pension and postretirement benefit plans which provide benefits to a defined group of employees who satisfy age and length of service requirements at the discretion of the Company. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has several stand-alone non-contributory defined benefit plans and postretirement medical plans. Depending on the plan, pension and postretirement benefits are based on a combination of factors, which may include salary, age and years of service.
	Pension expense has been determined in accordance with the principles of U.S. GAAP. The Company's policy is to fund pension plans in accordance with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Employee benefit plan obligations and expenses included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are determined from actuarial analyses based on plan assumptions, employee demographic data, years of service, compensation, benefits and claims paid and employer contributions.
	The expense related to the postretirement plans has been determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Company accrues the cost of these benefits during the years that employees render service.
	The Company participates in three multi-employer pension plans and makes contributions to those plans, which are recorded in either cost of sales or SG&A expenses. Withdrawal liabilities are recorded once the withdrawal is determined to be probable and estimable. Refer to Note 14 for additional information.
Risk Management Programs	Risk Management Programs
	The Company retains selected levels of property, casualty, workers' compensation, health and other business risks. Many of these risks are covered under conventional insurance programs with high deductibles or self-insured retentions. Accrued liabilities related to the retained casualty and health risks are calculated based on loss experience and development factors, which contemplate a number of variables including claim history and expected trends. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued liabilities related to the retained risks of $136 million, including both other current and long-term liabilities. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded receivables of $35 million for insurance recoveries related to these retained risks.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach under U.S. GAAP. This method involves determining the temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and the corresponding amounts recognized for tax purposes and computing the tax-related carryforwards at the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The resulting amounts are deferred tax assets or liabilities. The total of taxes currently payable per the tax return, the deferred tax expense or benefit and the impact of uncertain tax positions represents the income tax expense or benefit for the year for financial reporting purposes.
	The Company periodically assesses the likelihood of realizing its deferred tax assets based on the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. The Company bases its judgment of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets primarily on historical earnings, its estimate of current and expected future earnings and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
	DPS' effective income tax rate may fluctuate on a quarterly and/or annual basis due to various factors, including, but not limited to, total earnings and the mix of earnings by jurisdiction, the timing of changes in tax laws and the amount of tax provided for uncertain tax positions.
	The Company establishes income tax liabilities to remove some or all of the income tax benefit of any of the Company's income tax positions at the time DPS determines that the positions become uncertain based upon one of the following: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount, or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. The Company's evaluation of whether or not a tax position is uncertain is based on the following: (1) DPS presumes the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority such as the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") that has full knowledge of all relevant information, (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position, and (3) each tax position is evaluated without considerations of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. The Company adjusts these income tax liabilities when the Company's judgment changes as a result of new information. Any change will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes sales revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) delivery; (2) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists; (3) pricing is fixed or determinable; and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the title and the risk of loss passes to the customer. Net sales are reported net of costs associated with customer marketing programs and incentives, as described below, as well as sales taxes and other similar taxes.
	Multiple deliverables were included in the arrangements entered into with PepsiCo, Inc. ("PepsiCo") and The Coca-Cola Company ("Coca-Cola") during 2010. In these cases, the Company first determined whether each deliverable met the separation criteria under U.S. GAAP. The primary requirement for a deliverable to meet the separation criteria is if the deliverable has stand-alone value to the customer. Each deliverable that meets the separation criteria is considered a separate "unit of accounting". As the sale of the manufacturing and distribution rights and the ongoing sales of concentrate would not have stand-alone value to the customer, both deliverables were determined to represent a single element of accounting for purposes of revenue recognition. The one-time nonrefundable cash receipts from PepsiCo and Coca-Cola were therefore recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as net sales ratably over the estimated 25-year life of the customer relationship.
Customer Marketing Programs and Incentives	Customer Marketing Programs and Incentives
	The Company offers a variety of incentives and discounts to bottlers, customers and consumers through various programs to support the distribution of its products. These incentives and discounts include cash discounts, price allowances, volume based rebates, product placement fees and other financial support for items such as trade promotions, displays, new products, consumer incentives and advertising assistance. These incentives and discounts are reflected as a reduction of gross sales to arrive at net sales. The aggregate deductions from gross sales recorded in relation to these programs were approximately $3,682 million, $3,618 million and $3,751 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The amounts of trade spend are larger in the Packaged Beverages segment than those related to other parts of our business. Accruals are established for the expected payout based on contractual terms, volume-based metrics and/or historical trends and require management judgment with respect to estimating customer participation and performance levels.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Transportation and Warehousing Costs
	The Company incurred $802 million, $776 million and $775 million of transportation and warehousing costs during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts, which primarily relate to shipping and handling costs, are recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Advertising and Marketing Expense
	Advertising and marketing production costs related to television, print, radio and other marketing investments are expensed as of the first date the advertisement takes place. All other advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expense was approximately $473 million, $486 million and $481 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenses are recorded in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, prepaid advertising and marketing costs of approximately $17 million and $12 million, respectively, were recorded as other current and non-current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Research and Development  Costs
	Research and development costs are expensed when incurred and amounted to $18 million, $21 million and $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These expenses are recorded when incurred in SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation Expense
	The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the recognition of compensation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income related to the fair value of employee stock-based awards. Compensation cost is based on the grant-date fair value, which is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options. The fair value of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance-based restricted stock units ("PSUs") is determined based on the number of units granted and the grant date price of common stock. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably, less estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Stock-based compensation expense for PSUs is adjusted quarterly based on the current estimate of performance compared to the target metric. Refer to Note 16 for additional information .
Compensation Related Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Deferred Compensation Plan
	Employee and employer matching contributions under the supplemental savings plan ("SPP") are maintained in a rabbi trust and are not readily available to us. Participants can direct the investment of their deferred compensation plan accounts in the same investments funds offered by the DPS' Savings Incentive Plan (the "SIP"). Although participants direct the investment of these funds, they are classified as trading securities and are included in other non-current assets. The corresponding liability related to the deferred compensation plan is recorded in other non-current liabilities. Gains and losses in connection with these trading securities are recorded in other expense (income), net, with an offset for the same amount recorded in SG&A expenses. We had deferred compensation plan assets of $25 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Gains associated with these trading securities were $1 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Translation
	The functional currency of the Company's operations outside the U.S. is generally the local currency of the country where the operations are located. The balance sheets of operations outside the U.S. are translated into U.S. Dollars at the end of year rates. The results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars at a monthly average rate, calculated using daily exchange rates.
	The following table sets forth exchange rate information for the periods and currencies indicated:
	Mexican Peso to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate	End of Year Rates			Annual Average Rates
	2014	14.74			13.31
	2013	13.08			12.77
	2012	12.97			13.15
	Canadian Dollar to U.S. Dollar Exchange Rate	End of Year Rates			Annual Average Rates
	2014	1.16			1.1
	2013	1.06			1.03
	2012	0.99			1
	Differences arising from the translation of opening balance sheets of these entities to the rate ruling at the end of the financial year are recognized in AOCL. The differences arising from the translation of foreign results at the average rate are also recognized in AOCL. Such translation differences are recognized as income or expense in the period in which the Company disposes of the operations.
	Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the approximate rate of exchange at the transaction date. Assets and liabilities resulting from these transactions are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. All such differences are recorded in results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) ("ASU 2014-08"). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 provide guidance for the recognition and disclosure of discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of this change.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides alternative methods of initial adoption and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.
	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”), to provide guidance on management's responsibility to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.
Recently Adopted Provisions of U.S. GAAP	Recently Adopted Provisions of U.S. GAAP
	In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the following provisions, which had no material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, were effective as of January 1, 2014:
	•the requirement to provide disclosures related to obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements from which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date; and
	•the requirement related to the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists.

[1]	During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company unwound forward starting swaps associated with the 2019 and 2021 Notes with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million. Upon termination, the Company paid $25 million to the counterparties, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the issued debt. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company unwound forward starting swaps associated with the 2020 and 2022 Notes with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million. Upon termination, the Company paid $49 million to the counterparties, which will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the issued debt.
[2]	The gain recognized in interest expense included amortization of the adjustment to the carrying value of the 2012 Notes as a result of the de-designation of a $450 million notional interest rate swap related to those Notes in 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the amortization of this adjustment was $2 million.
[3]	Commodity contracts include both realized and unrealized gains and losses.
[4]	Interest rate contracts as of DecemberB 31, 2014 did not include any offsetting amounts. Interest rate contracts as of December 31, 2013 include gross and offsetting amounts of $19 million and $2 million, respectively. These contracts are subject to a netting provision included within the counterparty agreements whereby the Company pays interest either quarterly or semi-annually and receives interest payments semi-annually. These payables and receivables are netted as appropriate.

[1]	Due to the resolution of the 2006-2008 IRS audit and the Canada amortization law change in 2013, the Company recognized indemnity expense, net of $392 million as a result of the Tax Sharing and Indemnification Agreement ("Tax Indemnity Agreement"). Since the indemnity expense is not deductible for income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes also included a permanent difference of $137 million.
[2]	Amounts represent tax expense recorded by the Company for which MondelDz was obligated to indemnify DPS under the Tax Indemnity Agreement but excludes the amounts with respect to the completion of the 2006-2008 IRS audit and the Canada amortization law change as they are separately shown on the rate reconciliation.

[1]	Contributions to individually significant multi-employer plans for the year ended December 31, 2014 include amounts contributed to the Soft Drink Industry Local Union 710 Pension Fund ("Local 710") which the Company fully withdrew and ceased participation in the plan as of December 31, 2014. Local 710 was considered an individually significant multi-employer when the contributions were made to the plan prior to the withdrawal and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
[2]	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $56 million withdrawal charge for the withdrawal from the Local 710. This item was presented as a multi-employer pension plan withdrawal in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As the withdrawal charge represents the Company's best estimate of the potential amount of the quarterly assessment by Local 710 and the anticipated timing of those assessed payments, actual costs may differ from amounts recorded.
[3]	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $1 million withdrawal charge for one of the collective bargaining units under a multi-employer pension plan based on the trustees' assessment. These charges were recorded as a component of SG&A expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
[4]	The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying assets owned by the equity index fund or fixed income investment vehicle per share multiplied by the number of units held as of the measurement date and are classified as LevelB 2 assets.
[5]	Equity securities are comprised of actively managed U.S. index funds and Europe, Australia, Far East ("EAFE") index funds.
[6]	Derivative financial instruments consist of U.S Treasury futures. The fair value of these futures is determined by using quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments.
[7]	U.S. Municipal and Corporate bonds are based on quoted bid prices for comparable securities in the marketplace.
[8]	Equity securities are comprised of actively managed U.S. index funds and EAFE index funds.
[9]	U.S. Corporate bonds are based on quoted bid prices for comparable securities in the marketplace.
