We need to make these sugary drinks not so easy to buy. Everyday the soda companies come out with some new drink to suck us in to buying them and getting us hooked. Pepsi and coke are famous for this, but we still feel the need to try the drinks that come out. Even though most of us know that these drinks we consume are bad for us. In conclusion I believe having a tax that increases the prices on sugary drinks is a good place to start for the obesity epidemic.

1. Why was it important for Coke to reposition the brand away from being a "diet" brand and towards a mainstream "aspirational" perception? Pepsi Max, Coke Zero’s biggest competitor, was heavily discounted and as a result Coke Zero was up to 58% more expensive. Considering that 75% of cola is sold on price promotions, Coke Zero needed something to justify the price premium to be able to successfully compete. Coke Zero’s communication strategy was taste-led in a category which was already suffering from the stigma of perceived bad taste.

What types of demographic segmentation is each product’s marketing most likely to include? Diet Coke Women who want to lose weight gender Coke Zero young men(18-34) who don’t want all the calories of regular Coke, but neither willing to make the move to Diet Coke gender and age Diet Coke Plus women who want to lose weight and concern with nutrition gender Coca-Cola Blak older, more sophisticated consumers who are willing to pay more age, income Full Throttle Blue Demon Hispanic men ethic Some industry analysts think soft drink companies should develop products that will bring new customers into the market rather than just creating variants on the old.

Which Coca-Cola products are most likely to lose customers to Coke Zero?
Coca-cola believed that as this segment aged, it would move on to healthier diet drinks and hence they needed to look into the “full-calorie” young segment.

Thus Coca-cola zeroed-in on this segment and launched the “New” Coke (of course they substantiated their strategy with surveys and focus groups, the unbiased nature of these efforts is now being questioned) Fig 1 What went wrong: The purpose of segmentation is to break mass markets into
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) was introduced back in the 1970’s and quickly filled the demand within the soft drink industry. Sodas depended heavily on the sugar cane as a natural sweetener; unfortunately it was unstable and volatile. HFCS provided consistency and was easily accessible when it was introduced and financially made more sense when compared to the unsteady cost of sugar. Before you knew it, HFCS found its way into foods and was no longer just for the soft drink industry. Today, HFCS can be found in just about every food product that you can think of.
In contrast, daily consumption in 1997 was estimated to have increased to 81 grams (nearly three ounces) per day.

Some doctors say that having regular table sugar in your diet is better than the cheap corn syrup method. Since corn syrup is cheater to produce then table sugar, that’s why it goes into almost everything we eat. The U.S. put an import tariff on foreign sugar, raised the price of sucrose so high that corn had to be the main source in the U.S.
