The constant demand for our favorite products is causing increase in manufacturing packaging, they are using up our planets resources and releasing toxic emissions into the ozone. The plastics we manufacture that hold our “pure” water can be harmful as well. “Most single-use water bottles carry a #1, which means they’re made from PET. These plastics can leach chemicals if heated or scratched” (Liberatore, 2011). So that means all the soft drinks, all the juices, all the sparkling water, etc. are potentially leaching harmful chemicals and PepsiCo still produces plastic to package its products. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with at the source. PepsiCo needs to find more sustainable solutions that are environmentally friendly and can also help inform the consumer to be better aware. People need to realize that even though the problem might start with the big corporations and industries, it’s still a collective problem meaning we are at fault as well. By disposing of waste properly and recycle the plastic in order to keep it from ending up in landfills; we can begin to help solve the problem. So even though we live in a packaging world we can still find innovative ways or alternative methods to keep our environment healthy by reducing plastic packaging or just packaging in general for that matter. Now if we…
Have you ever seen a Coca-Cola ad and immediately had a strong desire to drink one? The Coca-Cola Company has been very strong in the advertisement department over the years and has made many sales on impulse alone. The most recent one being the "Share a Coke, which emphasizes that people should not only buy one, but purchase another to share with someone else. While this one is strong, one in particular that always makes me think to buy an ice cold Coca-Cola is when Winter comes around and they start using Santa Claus to advertise. It is really memorable for me since as a child I would always see Santa on a billboard or side of a bottle and think to myself, "Wow, even Santa Claus likes Coke!" The strongest version of this ad in recent times…
Coca-Cola Executive Ira Herbert sent out a letter to Richard Seaver urging Grove Press Inc. to immediately end their use of the slogan "It's the real thing," which Coca-cola claimed rightfully belonged to them. Seaver responded to the letter by stating the company recognized Coca-Cola's reasons as to why they should stop the use of the slogan; however, Seaver employs satire/irony, allusions and a condescending tone to assert the fact that Grove Press Inc. will not render their privilege to use the phrase, "It's the real thing."…

Before businesses decide to put warning labels on suary drinks, they need to think of their options. Some say that is a killer and others say what gives, but I don’t think that people understand what sugary drinks can do to you.

. Pepsi’s starting point in its marketing campaign was its position as “The Choice of a new Generation.” Pepsi concentrated on the user of the drink, never the drink, while as Coca Cola did the opposite. In order to enhance the user interface of its campaign, Pepsi began lifestyle marketing, the first and longest-running lifestyle campaign that continues until this day. Pepsi showed people riding dirt bikes, waterskiing, and hand gliding and ended with a Pepsi as their reward. Its advertisements also often focused on celebrities such as Mariah Carey, KISS, Tine Turner, Britney Spears, Madonna, and Ray Charles choosing Pepsi over Coke. This was strategic movement since it was also during the time in which colored television came. Coca Cola also used celebrities such as Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul, Christina Aguilera, and Elton John to advertise its drinks. With mutually…
