Now you’re
probably sitting there thinking “What’s the difference?” Possibly one drink `seems
sweeter, but you couldn’t differentiate them in a test of taste. Yet you’d
certainly know without a doubt which one you’d buy at a store.
The brutal
brand loyalties of Coke and Pepsi are a spectacle that epitomise American
marketing at it’s best.
Purely
because of it being older, Coca Cola was always the brand that was ahead of
Pepsi purely IMO, due to time.
Pepsi
enlarged marketing shares in the middle of the century with a sequence of advertising
campaigns. In 1975 the first ‘Pepsi Challenge’ claimed that people (obviously just
celebrities though..) preferred Pepsi in a test that blindfolded the people
that were taking the test. Pepsi also acclaimed that it was also the drink
of the new generation, with massive celebrities like Michael Jackson, this was
a massive marketing ploy by Pepsi which as you’ll found out find how it changed
the rivalry in the coming years.
