MARKETING:
Success in this competitive environment is dependent on effective promotion of
existing products and the introduction of new products. And so Pepsi Co. does a lot
of advertising its brands with celebrities.
Rivalry with Coca-Cola:

Pepsi Co. surpassed Coca-Cola company in market value for the first time in 112
years since both companies began to compete.
Blind taste test:
As a part of marketing, in 1975, Pepsi introduced the Pepsi Challenge marketing
campaign where PepsiCo set up a blind tasting between Pepsi-Cola and rival Coca-
Cola.
During these blind taste tests the majority of participants picked Pepsi as the better
tasting of the two soft drinks.
PepsiCo took great advantage of the campaign with television commercials

reporting the test results to the public.
During great depression in 1931, Pepsi sold cola at 5 Cents a 12-Ounce bottle each
compared to Coca Cola’s 10 Cents.
BANS IN INDIA
In 2003 and again in 2006, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE),
a non-governmental organization in New Delhi, claimed that soda drinks
produced by manufacturers in India, including both Pepsi and Coca-Cola,
had dangerously high levels of pesticides in their drinks that can
contribute to cancer, a breakdown of the immune system and cause birth
defects.
A ban was imposed on Pepsi as well Coca Cola in five Indian states, which
was lifted a month after.
PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company maintain that their drinks are safe
for consumption and have published newspaper advertisements that say
pesticide levels in their products are less than those in other foods such as
tea, fruit and dairy products
CSE's findings and a government-appointed committee, is now trying to

develop the world's first pesticides standards for soft drinks.
Results of the tests:
Total pesticide residues in all brands of PepsiCo products were 12.68 ppb, which is
25.4 times the BIS(Bureau of Indian Standards) limit for total pesticides in soft
drinks
