Setting the Stage In 1893, former University of Maryland School of Medicine student, Caleb Davis Bradham, invented a drink that would soon take on a life he could never have dreamed of. In a drug store on the corner of Middle and Pollock Streets in downtown New Bern, North Carolina, the soda originally known as “Brad’s Drink,” was created from a mix of sugar, water, caramel, lemon oil, nutmeg, and other natural ingredients as a healthy cola alternative. This drink soon became a hit with customers and was renamed to “Pepsi-Cola” only five short years later. In 1902, Bradham formed the Pepsi-Cola Company due to the rising popularity, however, due to the drastic spike in sugar prices during World War I, Pepsi-Cola went bankrupt in 1923.

The goal of the new campaign is to “celebrate the best moments of our past, create new iconic moments for today, and set the stage for an exciting future” (“Pepsi Unveils New Global Campaign,” 2018). In Super Bowl LII, Pepsi debut an ad that highlights its history in pop culture and the brand’s steady presence over the past several decades using an emotional appeal by “(capturing) a viewer’s attention and (creating) an emotional attachment between the consumer and the brand” through the consumers sense of nostalgia (Clow, 2014). In the ad titled “This is Pepsi,” Pepsi “celebrates the best moments of (their) past” through references to the drink’s product placement in Back to the Future, the famous 1992 Super Bowl ad starring Cindy Crawford, this year including her son as a reference to “new iconic moments for today,” the Michael Jackson commercial of 1984, Ray Charles’ Diet Pepsi ad from 1991, Britney Spears’ “Now and Then” commercial from 2001, and a short cameo from Kyrie Irving’s alter ego, Uncle Drew. To tie in the goal of setting “the stage for an exciting future,” while Pepsi might not have been the first on the moon, it “might be the first Pepsi on Mars.” The commercial ends with the tagline “This is the Pepsi for every generation.” In addition to this ad, Pepsi …show more content…

According to the makers of Coca-Cola, all the happiness you need can be purchased at the wee cost of a dollar and some change. When one buys a bottle of Coca Cola, one’s getting far more than simply a bottle of delicious high fructose corn syrup flavored water; embedded in that purchase is the promise of friends, fun, summer loving, and so much more. Coca Cola’s “Share a Coke This Summer” advertisement seeks to sell happiness in every bottle with “Open Happiness” concluding the advertisement video. By portraying young groups partying (in a nonalcoholic, large group gathering type of party) and having fun drinking Coca Cola, this “Share a Coke This Summer” ad strives to promote Coca Cola as the road to happiness, fun with friends, and popularity, the importance
The ad’s appeal to logos is entertaining and subtle. The many visual effects and vibrant background music provide the viewer with a palatable visual and auditory experience. The thematic elements of fire in the commercial will illustrate the experience of spicy when one eats a bag of Doritos “Blaze.” Correspondingly, the visual experience of Morgan Freeman in a icy palace exemplifies the cool, refreshing experience of enjoying a bottle of Mountain Dew “Ice”.
The public health, environment, and economies around the world have all paid the price for Coke with little given in return. First, Elmore gives a brief history of the founder of Coke, John Pemberton.
Commercials. We all hate them. Television these days have more commercials than the actual show we are watching. But there is one day of the year that people look forward to commercials. It’s the day that the Super Bowl is on.
The basis of this assignment was to select an advertisement or commercial and analyze it by demonstrating my understanding of the rhetorical strategies; ethos, pathos, and logos. I choose a Super Bowl commercial put out by Budweiser depicting a feel-good message about drunk driving. The famous beer company traded in the Clydesdale horse for an adorable puppy to play the part of a dog who was left at home while his owner is out partying for the night. In this analysis, I address the intended audiences that the Budweiser commercial was catering to while addressing the subject, language, and predominate images used in this advertisement. I aimed to determine the overall purpose and stating whether or not the commercial was effective in persuading
Selling for 5 cents a drink, his first year of sales gave him a revenue of $50. A decade later, with the implementation of Prohibition, people began to turn to soda, Coca-Cola becoming the most popular and recognizable of brands. By 1891, the drink was sold nationwide, and new factories began to open in different parts of the country (Geisst). The invention of Coca-Cola in 1886 has made a profound impact on different elements of American culture; socially, religiously, economically, and traditionally, to name a few. Based on social aspects, Coca-Cola brought influence to the American culture.
Coca Cola became such a well known American Icon because it was a suitable drink for everyday consumption by people of all ages unlike alcoholic drinks and wasn’t bitter like coffee and tea. Also, Coca Cola was always there during hard times in American like the Depression and the Prohibition period.

During World War II and the Vietnam War, wherever the American soldiers landed the Coca Cola Company followed, remained the soldiers of home and boosting their morale. The Coca Cola also made factories wherever they landed establishing themselves in every continent on Earth to every known countries and territories.
So how would they appeal to the target audience using Ethos, Pathos, or Logos? PepsiCo begins the commercial by one of the young men saying, “I think I’ll just chill.” So out comes “Puppy/Monkey/Baby” (PMB) carrying a cold bucket filled with Mountain Dew

In the carbonated soft drinks industry, Coke Cola and Pepsi Co are the biggest players in the market for aerated beverages. Both the companies have been competing strongly against each other for decades. The market is dominated by these two industry leaders with a total market share of 72%; Coke’s market share is 42% and Pepsi’s 30%. This is known as an oligopoly market; where there are few large firms competing with each other in the industry. Since both the company’s market share so large, the market is very close to a duopoly (other players having a very small impact on the market).
Coca Cola was first introduced by John Styth Pemberton, a pharmacist, in the year 1886 in Atlanta, Georgia when he concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first “distributed” the product by carrying it in a jug down the street to Jacob’s Pharmacy and customers bought the drink for five cents at the soda fountain. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, whether by accident or otherwise, producing a drink that was proclaimed “delicious and refreshing”, a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed. Coca-Cola originated as a soda fountain beverage in 1886 selling for five cents a glass. Early growth was impressive, but it was only when a strong bottling system developed that Coca-Cola became the world-famous brand it is today.
