Coke vs Pepsi
Coke commercial Vs Pepsi commercial Coke and Pepsi have always been rival beverages for decades. I can remember my teens when most households would divide into two when it came to choosing their choice of drink, especially when going for grocery shopping. Even the advert aired by both brands shows a lot of rivalries between them. When one makes a new product, the other would do everything possible to make something similar or better than the former. Making people, both old and young believe their product is the best. When comparing the two beverages, there’s a major thing we normally notice from their commercials, while Coca-Cola Company uses families and animal in most of their commercial ads relating to peoples society, Pepsi Company uses different super stars and celebrities to sell their product worldwide. However, as coke uses their ethos in targeting both the old and young generation, Pepsi target mostly today’s youth in their adverts. A recent Coke Christmas commercial titled ”Snow Globes - Coca-Cola 2010 Christmas” shows the different moods of people. From a supermarket where a young man is in a bad mood pricing the store goods, and a old man at the register also not looking happy, calculating the day sales on the receipt he has, and two young lovers backing each other. However their mood changes as soon as they hear the sound of someone opening a coke and trucks full of coke appear which shows that with coke, there is always happy moment. Similarly, Pepsi's advert uses a music icon; Snoop Dogg on their recent Christmas advert illustrating title “A Christmas Story from Snoop Dogg” sitting on a couch, a story to a young man sitting beside him. It starts on the night before Christmas, the whole world was chilling waiting for Santa Claus, except a Jewish prince, Santa delivers goods that night, even down the hood, but was tired of one meal and cookies. Santa later drops the meal and saw a Pepsi max. The coke

    It makes appeals to ethos which is emphasized by the fact the company chose to use Santa Claus in order to represent Coca-Cola and that it is his drink of choice. This helps create trust with the consumer and desire for the product. If Santa Claus drinks it, it must be great! Pathos, otherwise known as emotion is also utilized in this advertisement. Santa tends to bring people joyous thoughts when the holiday season comes around. The knowledge that Christmas is close means time spent with family and the excitement of gifts to come. The ad uses the promise of enjoyment by simply stating, "Open Happiness". This message implies that if you simply open a bottle of Coca-Cola, it will bring you the feeling of joy that is then amplified by the consumption afterwards. A feeling of magic is also conveyed with the use of Santa creating snowflakes with his breath. The one that the ad seems to be lacking in is reasoning, or logos. Nothing in the ad directly provides information to the consumer or any type of logic to help them make a rational decision. The advertisement in itself is still very effective considering they bring back Santa every…

    Coke vs Pepsi

    As we all know, Coca-Cola and Pepsi have been rivals for centuries. While most people have their own preference on which cola they prefer, they have no idea what makes these two cola brands so similar yet so different. While both are similar in color and taste, the biggest difference between these two brands are their sugar level. Coca-Cola, the dominant coke brand, contains less sugar compared to that of Pepsi’s. Furthermore, these two world renowned colas are said to help regain energy because of its caffeine content. In addition, Pepsi has higher caffeine content and contains more calories compared to Coke. These two cola types carbonated drinks are slightly different in taste. Coca-Cola has a slight vanilla taste to it while Pepsi has a sort of citrusy taste to it. When poured into a glass, Coca-Cola produces more “fizz” even though it is much smoother when swallowed. On the other hand, Pepsi maintains its fizzy sensation when swallowed. Despite all these differences, most people can barely tell the difference between these two colas in a blind-folded taste test. There was an experiment conducted to test students’ preference on both colas. According to Woolfolk and her associates (185-186), most college student Coke drinkers prefer Pepsi in a test where Pepsi and Coke are labeled as S and L respectively. They have concluded that college students prefer the letter S compared to L. They had conducted an experiment where both cups S and L contained half Coke and half Pepsi. Regardless of the type of cola, the students preferred cola S over cola L in 85 percent of the cases. This has proved that students’ preference on their favorite cola did not result from the preference for different colas, but the preferences for certain letters. In conclusion, these two colas’ have differences so slight that most consumers cannot even tell.…

    Advertising is an extremely powerful form of communication and persuasion. The Coca-Cola Company has had such great success with advertising that the second most recognized words or phrase on earth is, in fact, “Coca-Cola.” This was extremely surprising to me because Coca-Cola is an American brand of soda that has had such successful sales and ads that it has become popular world-wide. A major factor of Coca Cola’s success if its advertisements that can be seen everywhere, from billboards to famous TV commercials that are watched on YouTube.

    Coca-Cola appears to have chosen the languages very carefully, while having several young girls sing the song in their secondary languages. The commercial goes on to feature American multi-racial children tap dancing, a large Latino family having dinner, and Jewish men, wearing yarmulkes, looking out of a window. The commercial even goes as far as showing Middle Eastern women wearing ha-jibs on their heads rushing to enjoy a coke. These images give the audience a sense of connection to other creeds. By allowing a glimpse into the lives of strangers the audience is afforded an opportunity to see and appreciate the lives of others.…

    I think this advert is a funny advert and works well for Pepsi. The reason for this is because the coca cola driver looks like the instigator in this whilst the pepsi driver was minding his own business. This then makes the pepsi driver react and looks like the pepsi drink gives him the energy or fight to compete with the driver and he competes and makes the coke guy look stupid. It gives the…
