    Guy talks about the 1999 Pepsi ad saying it’s the first time humour has been used and showing the coke logo, but this is omitting the Pepsi commercials where the delivery drivers of each company shares their cola with the other and the coke driver refuses to return the Pepsi. A whole series of commercials around this.

  • @adrianferrette
    @adrianferrette Před rokem +1

    Pepsi was left in the dust the moment they mentioned Coke by name. Whilst coke may hold Pepsi as a competitor in the market place they've never held them as a competitor in their messaging.
    As much as Pepsi may have debased coke for a spell they ultimately fumbled the ball by not leaving it at that. The continued juxtaposition on Pepsi's part only introduces the concept of one of the two specific brands, Pepsi and Coke, being a loser.
    Personal tastes across the board are just that, personal. Both a syrupy-fizzy water. Neither has any real benefit for you. So the only thing you're really betting on there's that enough people like you more than the other guy. But brands and the image they cultivate become part of people's personalities. So the idea that you'd get someone who probably never considered themselves a 'coke' person into a position where they felt compelled to choose the 'better' tasting soda, you've already lost.
    Yes, they had significant gains for a decade or so but when coke eventually relaunched, even though it ultimately failed, who were they competing against? Pepsi, or themselves? It wasn't 'the-pepsi-killer', 'the better soda', or else anything like that.
    It was simply, 'New-Coke'. That alone says it all.

      This would run the risk of giving too much of a 'deep but narrow' viewpoint of the industry; there's more to advertising than choosing an icon. I would love to see some deeper videos on advertising, but it's hard to strike the balance between depth, breadth and being easy to watch.

    I just prefer coke because it doesn't taste as sweet as other colas to me (idk about the sugar content but taste wise it's less sweet). I generally dislike pepsi but pepsi max isn't bad. Also cherry pepsi max is superior to cherry coke but Dr Pepper being the ultimate cherry cola no competition .

    Pepsi. The pepsi challenge proves it. It's irrational to like coke after taking the challenge and choosing pepsi. You'd only like coke more because the advertisements (which shouldnt affect your opinion) would rewire your brain.
    ...unless you really aren't clinging to a brand. I still drink coke. It's cool. Its just I personally prefer pepsi. You know what's really not nice? Diet coke.
