Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	Note 6. Equity Method Investments Equity method investments consist of our investments in entities in which we maintain an equity ownership interest and apply the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exert significant influence over decisions relating to their operating and financial affairs. Revenue and expenses of our equity method investees are not consolidated into our financial statements; rather, our proportionate share of the earnings of each investee is reflected as equity method investment net earnings. The carrying values of our equity method investments are also impacted by our proportionate share of items impacting the investee's accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and other items, such as our share of investee dividends. Our equity method investments include, but are not limited to, our ownership interests in JDE Peet's (Euronext Amsterdam: "JDEP"), Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (Nasdaq: "KDP"), Dong Suh Foods Corporation and Dong Suh Oil & Fats Co. Ltd. Our ownership interests may change over time due to investee stock-based compensation arrangements, share issuances or other equity-related transactions. As of September 30, 2022, we owned 19.8%, 5.3%, 50.0% and 49.0%, respectively, of these companies' outstanding shares. Our investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled $4.5 billion as of September 30, 2022 and $5.3 billion as of December 31, 2021. We recorded equity earnings of $85 million and cash dividends of $48 million in the third quarter of 2022 and equity earnings of $105 million and cash dividends of $64 million in the third quarter of 2021. We recorded equity earnings of $300 million and cash dividends of $169 million in the first nine months of 2022 and equity earnings of $290 million and cash dividends of $158 million in the first nine months of 2021. Based on the quoted closing prices as of September 30, 2022, the combined fair value of our publicly-traded investments in JDEP and KDP was $5.5 billion, and for each investment, its fair value exceeded its carrying value. JDE Peet’s Transactions: On May 8, 2022, we sold approximately 18.6 million of our JDE Peet’s shares back to JDE Peet’s, which reduced our ownership interest by approximately 3%. We received €500 million ($529 million) of proceeds and recorded a loss of €8 million ($8 million) on this sale during the second quarter of 2022. As we will continue to have significant influence, we will continue to account for our investment in JDE Peet's under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. We will continue to have board representation with two directors on the JDE Peet's Board of Directors and we retained certain additional governance rights. On September 20, 2021, we issued €300 million exchangeable bonds, which are redeemable at maturity in September 2024 at their principal amount in cash or, at our option, through the delivery of an equivalent number of JDE Peet’s ordinary shares based on an initial exchange price of €35.40 and, as the case may be, an additional amount in cash. If all bonds were redeemed in exchange for JDE Peet's shares, this would represent approximately 8.5 million shares or approximately 9% of our equity interest in JDE Peet's as of September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 9, Financial Instruments, for further details on this transaction. Keurig Dr Pepper Transactions: On August 2, 2021, we sold approximately 14.7 million shares of KDP, which reduced our ownership interest by 1% of the total outstanding shares. We received $500 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $248 million (or $189 million after-tax) during the third quarter of 2021. As we continue to have significant influence, we continue to account for our investment in KDP under the equity method, resulting in recognizing our share of their earnings within our earnings and our share of their dividends within our cash flows. We continue to have board representation with one director on the KDP Board of Directors and we retained certain additional governance rights. On June 7, 2021, we participated in a secondary offering of KDP shares and sold approximately 28 million shares, which reduced our ownership interest by 2% of the total outstanding shares. We received $997 million of proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $520 million (or $392 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2021.
