If you’ve got the real thing you don’t need to change your branding, as this very clever brand mashup points out.

As i sit here having a can of pepsi, it could also be that in my opinion coke just takes better!

Cool, but have you noticed that your headline reads PEPSI and not PEPSI?

Look, I couldn't even write it incorrectly! I meant, your headline reads: PESPI.

Hmmm… what about the “New Coke” years? It was a reaction to the Pepsi challenge that went beyond just re-branding to actually changing the flavour! Still love both though (regular coke > regular pepsi, diet coke < diet pepsi).

I always choose Coke over Pepsi. But remember New Coke?? That stuff was horrid and a huge mistake marketing wise.

It could also be because Coke decide along time ago to market internationally by fronting poor resellers product and advertising while Pepsi focused domestically and bought complimentary product lines like Frito-lay. turns out there was alot more money to be made internationally…

Wow this is a great marketing lesson indeed… about the importance of consistency. Thanks!

Pepsi kept each one for at least 10 years and gained in market share Coke cant change with the times and therefore gift wraps market share for Pepsi. Remember coke once had a 100% of the market and louses more and more each year.
Pepsi Rules Coke Sux

Ever heard of “New Coke”? or “Pepsi Free”?

It’s not the logo that’s important, it’s what the logo symbolizes. Coke’s message is timeless: “Enjoy a Coca-Cola and you’ll be a little happier.” Pepsi just chases whatever’s hot at the time, like pairing some flash-in-the-pan rapper with Bob Dylan in a Super Bowl ad.
