KKR and Blackstone can't get a financing break, for all their cash. According to the Financial Times, Cadbury Schweppes (NYSE:CSG) has turned down another private equity offer for its drinks division.

The consortium included not just KKR and Blackstone, but Lion Capital as well. The board reportedly rejected the deal due to unfavorable financing conditions.

You can't say the big boys aren't out there trying!
