Large variety made choice of cola difficult epsi-Coke war lives on Coca-Cola and Pepsi were as typically American as the hotdog and chewing gum, yet each cola had its own claim. Coca Cola was It” and Pepsi was ’’the taste of a new generation.” All of this was quite confusing, but the real truth to these claims was found beyond the doors at Norfolk Senior High. According to one hundred students surveyed, approximately fifty-five percent preferred the taste of Pepsi over Coca Cola. Reasons given for these preferences ranged from 1 drink Pepsi just because to I drink Coke because that is what Mom buys.” No mat ter what the reasons were, it was a fact that the cola industry was one of the most profitable American industries with teenagers consuming over half of the distributed bottles and cans of cola products. The history of cola went back quite a few years. In 1886 the Coca-Cola Company distributed the first cola drink. Soon after Coca Cola’s development, the Pepsi Company appeared. This created great competition for Coca-Cola. This was proved by the cola market, where there was a wide variety of Coke and Pepsi from which to choose. We had New Coke, Cok.C Classic, Cherry Coke, Diet Coke, Caffeine-Free Coke, Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi Light, and Pepsi Free. With all of these choices tantalizing our taste buds, it was not too difficult to imagine the flavor of an ice-cold all new yet original caffeine-free diet light cherry Pepsi Coke. Going from the cool taste of Coke, to the crisp look in sporty fashions, the Coca-Cola Company put its trade name on shirts and jeans. This method of advertising tended to intrigue the younger generation. The Pepsi Company used famous people to heighten its advertising campaign. For instance, Michael Jackson sang his song while he danced to the Pepsi beat. Then came Geraldine Ferraro as she spoke up for Diet Pepsi. As Junior Cindy Stevens said it, I like Pepsi and Coke, but the best part is the commercials. Each company tries to get you to drink their product and it is too difficult to choose, so I drink both.” Different can designs make the cola more appealing. Pepsi has taken the Jackson Tour logo and printed it on their cola cans for more appeal. 28 COLA FEATURE Juniors Paul Nitz and Sheila Bottorff walk down the hall together before class.
