...beverages, seeking to expand in international markets. PepsiCo looked mainly to its core product, carbonated fizzy drinks, but also diversified its product offerings. It bought Frito-Lay, the snack business in 1965, beginning its long history of diversification, to reduce its dependence on cola drinks. In 1993, it launched bottled water, Aquafina, and in 1998, it acquired Tropicana juice brands, placing it in a good position to benefit from rising consumer demand for healthier drinks. In 2001, it acquired Quaker Oats, the cereals and snacks business, following the collapse of Coke’s negotiations to buy the company, revealing divisions on strategy within Coke’s board. With Quaker Oats came Gatorade, the market leader in energy drinks, further diversifying PepsiCo’s portfolio of companies. Aquafina water and Gatorade drinks have seen rises in sales, helping PepsiCo to offset declining sales of sugary carbonated drinks, where consumers have become concerned about health and obesity. Coca-Cola has also belatedly launched new products diversifying from sugary fizzy drinks, having launched Minute Maid fruit juice to challenge Tropicana, Dasani to take on Aquafina, and Powerade to compete with Gatorade. PepsiCo’s diversification programme and it’s brand building expertise has made it the world’s fourth largest food and beverage company. Coke, relies on carbonated fizzy drinks for 80 percent of profits on the other hand, is market leader in...

...failures: an individual eats too much and exercises too little. This ignores the work of behavioural economists and biologists. Humans have evolved over millennia to ensure that weight is hard to lose. It is too simplistic to blame obesity merely on lack of willpower. That would let both food companies and politicians off the hook. “Fed Up” is determined to hold them to account. Food companies are keen for children to eat their junk foods, which are available not just in shops but in schools. America’s politicians, “Fed Up” argues, are complicit. Notoriously, America’s school-lunch law counts the tomato paste on pizza as a vegetable. This film lambasts many, from Coca-Cola to a less obvious target, Michelle Obama, for waging too feeble a war against food companies. However, the main foe in “Fed Up” is sugar. Food companies have pumped sugar into bread and peanut butter, as...

...attack--has stolen enough Of pepsi's market share to ask, is the war finally over? Inside the chairman's office on the 25th floor of Coca-Cola's stately headquarters in Atlanta, in the top left-hand drawer of his desk, Roberto Goizueta has for many years kept two charts. One describes Coca-Cola's fundamental business: selling the concentrate that transforms fizzy water into Coke. The diagram plots the four reasons Goizueta adores the business: (1) Selling concentrate requires little capital; (2) it produces superb returns; (3) it demands minimal reinvestment; (4) it spills an ocean of cash. One day recently, Coca-Cola's cerebral chairman and CEO was asked to pull out the second chart. This one illustrates PepsiCo's altogether different strategy, which has involved pouring billions of dollars into capital-intensive businesses like restaurants. Goizueta slides open the drawer and riffles through the papers. "I threw it out," he says nonchalantly. Raising his eyebrows, he dismisses the world's most famous No. 2 with trademark dispassion. "As they've become less relevant," Goizueta says, "I don't need to look at them very much anymore." Poor Roger Enrico. He certainly can't say the same about Coke. Since he became PepsiCo's chief executive in April, Enrico has been seeing a whole lot more red--Coca-Cola red--than he ever expected. Not to mention red as in ink, as in blood. PepsiCo has been badly wounded in the cola wars. Its casualties are high. Caroline Levy, who follows the soft...

...the front row were stylish women in sundresses beside men who showed a strong preference for black T-shirts and trendy eyewear. Forget the idea that religion or the effects of war might preclude the success of a Lebanese brewery. It’s true that many Muslims abstain from alcohol. But plenty of people in the Middle East love to drink, and this is especially true in Lebanon, where the religious plurality includes a thriving Christian population — and besides, people seek alcohol during hard times, said Mazen Hajjar, a former investment banker and airline executive who started 961 Beer. But there has been a problem. For 80 years, Lebanon “has been drinking fizzy, light beers,” he said. “I wanted to brew real beer.” His company makes a beer that was named best lager at the Hong Kong International Beer Awards last year. Other regular offerings from 961 include a red ale, a pale ale, a stout, a porter, a witbier and, starting this summer, a black IPA, or India pale ale. Photo A 961 Beer display at a Beirut supermarket. CreditKate Brooks for The New York Times Last year, the company sold the equivalent of 200,000 cases of beer in bottles and kegs. With sales in Lebanon and abroad, the company expects to break even for the first time this year. That is no small feat, considering that 961 began after war broke out between Lebanon and Israel in 2006, that the economy still hasn’t fully recovered...

...working with machines in factories was not a good combination. The Boston Tea Party also resulted from tea when America declared its independence from England. The Opium War was fought over tea between China and Britain; the point of this war was to ensure stable trade and prices of tea between China and Britain. Today, Britain is still the largest tea-drinking country. In addition, tea is most prevalent in nations that were once states of the British Empire; this is an indication of the solid social and typical relationship between the drink and the country that expended it. The final drink in Tom Standage’s book was Coca-Cola. Before cola, there was a drink known as soda water created in 1767 by an English clergyman named Joseph Priestley. What started out as a medicinal liquid, eventually became a very refreshing drink-especially with the additives of special syrups handmade from mulberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc. and were dispensed from special dispensers in soda fountains; since the syrup was so cheap to produce, soda fountains showed up everywhere. In 1886, John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Georgia, invented coke on accident when he was trying to create a cure for headaches. He mixed some ingredients together and created a caramel-colored liquid which was then added to soda water; the result was a fizzy and sweet drink now known as Coca-Cola. The production of patent medicines was widely popular and when successful, one could make a fortune. Pemberton stumbled upon his...

...Gold Spot-orange flavored soda. It was one of the major advertisers throughout the 1980s and in the mid '80s it faced a very short-lived competition from Double Cola other than that it maintained a near monopoly in the market. Then came the liberalization face of India which opened the market for multinationals in many sectors including food and beverages. This step led to the re-entry of global giants Pepsi (1990) and Coca Cola (1993). Thums Up engaged itself in a heavy competition of endorsement with Pepsi and even launched a larger packaging of 300ml and calling it “MahaCola”. This gave Thums Up an edge over Pepsi in the rural area where it was now being reffered as “MahaCola” Coca Cola (1993) re-entered India starting a three-way Cola War with Pepsi and Thums Up. That same year, Parle sold Thums Up to Coca Cola for US$ 60 million. It is assumed by many that Chauhan brothers had lost the interest for a fight against the two...
