alcohol but later on it was converted and changed into a soft drink. Now it is

INDIAN HISTORY OF SOFT DRINK

Around 1984 the first branded soft drink came in the Indian market. This soft

drink was named as gold spot. Before Coca-Cola entered the country to

dominant the scene in 1950’s .parley exports Pvt. Ltd was the first Indian

company to introduce a lemon soft drink, this drink was known as Limca and

it was introduce in 1970’s. However, before this they had introduced cola

piping, which was withdrawn in face of tough competition from coca-cola.

In the year 1977 coca-cola left Indian market and this brought in an

opportunity for various Indian companies to show their caliber, at this time a

new soft drink was introduced by parley product and this was named thrums

up.

This was Coca-cola drink, which had a burnt sugar color. This drink was

introduced with a mighty “happy days are here again”. As if happy days went

away with coca-cola .There was another company named pure drinks, which

introduced the soft drink named campa-cola along with orange and lemon

flavors.

Just after this many more companies entered the Indian soft drink market. A

soft drink named double-7 had been introduced by a company modern baker.

Another company, Mohan meckins also came with a softy drink named marry

& puck up. McDowell came with thrill, rush and sprit.

Previously there was no competition in the Indian soft drink market but with

all these companies coming in the Indian market a huge competition was a

place with high voltage advertisement. But in the year 1988 Pepsi was given

permission to sell its soft drinks in the Indian market by the government of

India .Coca-cola also co history of soft drink come back 1993.

INDIAN COLA SCENARIO

The Indian C.S.D market is estimated at Rs.3000 cores approx by value 65% of

this purely cola market while the drinks account for the remaining part. Which

includes Lime, orange and soda India swigging a carbonated beverage is still

considered a treat, virtually a luxury.

Indian C.S.D market has enormous growth potential because of its

population and changing economic the Indian market in 1989 while Coke

launched products in 1993.

World wide, Beverage business is bright red Coke’s life, its only business

deep blue Pepsi’s is broad based food and Beverages Company, driving more

than 60% of its sales. And opening profits from its snakes and restaurants

business.

Both Coca-cola India and Pepsi foods have hit upon same strategy create

awareness by increasing noise label, reduce price to induce trials and liter

increase prices once consumer trials have begun.

Coke is mainly a franchisee driven operation with the company supplying

its soft drink concentric (that secret potion) to its bottlers around the world

(Franchisee operated\owned bottling operation or FOBO).

Pepsi has taken the capital incentive root of owing and running its own

bottling factories (Company operated bottling operation or COBO) along side

those of its franchisee.

1717

Page 18: Documenthh

Coca-cola was born eleven years before pepsi in (1887) and a century later still

maintains that pioneering lead.

COKE:-

Coke re entered India after 7 years in 1993 striking a $ 40 million (Rs 140

cores) deal with parley it got an instant access to the India soft drink market.

Coke is having a multigrain strategy and is looking for a great volume

opportunity in India. Coke is spending heavily on advertisement. And it sales

generating assets and singe and amazing to create brand loyal retailers

providing best facilities to them.

Coke is about to invest Rs 2400 cores for setting up to new subsidiaries in

India.

With its classic coke speak” Focus, cocas and steamroll ahead” Coke is

presently No 1 in India carbonated drinks market.

PEPSI:

India figures amongst the top three focus countries on Pepsi’s horizons,

sharing the honors with china and Russia.

In India Pepsi co has pumped in Rs 300 core and would be investing the

similar amount of money in near future.

In 1994 Pepsi bought over Duke in Bombay, Which was bought over

lock, stock and brands for 45 cores. COBI account is half of Pepsi total soft

drinks sales.

Pepsi has single mindedly focused on brand Pepsi and has become

virtually a one brand company.

SOFT DRINK MARKET INDIAN SCENARIO

Indian soft drink industry is witnessing a boom time. Its growth rate is around

20% with such a high growth rate, volume could reach billion crates with 10

years .Three major multinational companies are fighting to grab a major chunk

of business from Indian markets. These three major multinational companies

are fighting to grab a major chunk of business from Indian markets. These three

coca-cola, Pepsi, Cadbury. All of these companies have seen an enormous

potential in this country .Consequently, by world standard India per capita

consumption of soft drinks is still very low. Therefore these soft drinks grants

feel that fire capita consumption can only grow up. Soft drinks industries has

already seen and estimated sale of around 240 million crates higher than last

year’s sale of 204 million in 1998. The main reason for such a high growth rate

heightened competition between Coca-cola and Pepsi, Cadbury, being a new

entrant is for behind.

India us actually more vivid in taste and preference than any other

country market. Delhi jar instance, accounts for about 20% of total soft

consumption in terms of sales.

There are about 4, 80,000 soft drinks retailers in India and their numbers

are increasing day by day. This actually means that there is just one soft drink

retailer on a population of 37,600, which is far below the international standard.

Where as Philippines has one soft drink retail counter over a population of 150

people i.e. 4, 00,000 outlets on population of 60 million.

A (BRIEF) HISTORY OF COCA-COLA

Coca-Cola was invented in May, 1886, by Dr. John S. Pemberton in

Atlanta, Georgia. The name "Coca-Cola" was suggested by Dr. Pemberton's

Bookkeeper, Frank Robinson. He penned the name Coca-Cola in the flowing

Script that is famous today. Coca-Cola was first sold at a soda fountain in

Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta by Willis Venable. During its first year, sales of

Coca-Cola averaged six drinks a day -- adding up to total sales for that year of

$50. Since the year's expenses were just over $70, Dr. Pemberton took a loss

Today, Coca-Cola products are consumed at the rate of more than 834 million

Drinks per day.

Coca-Cola is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history, as well

as the best-known product in the world. Created in Atlanta, Georgia by Dr. John

S. Pemberton, Coca-Cola was first offered as a fountain beverage by mixing

Coca-Cola syrup with carbonated water.

Coca-Cola was registered as a trademark in 1887 and by 1895 Coca-Cola was

being sold in every state and territory in the United States. In 1899, the

company began franchised bottling operations in the United States.

Coca-Cola in virtually every part of the world. The Coca-Cola Company has

nearly 400 beverages in its portfolio.

Today the white on red flow of coca-cola is familiar sights in more than 195

countries .The syrup combines that have capture a 46 percent slice of global soft

drink market. The company Estimates that the drink is served 685 times a day,

2121

Page 22: Documenthh

if all the coke ever produced were filled in standard bottles and placed and to

and it would warp around the equator 21,161 times.

The story of coca-cola is the story of a drink and its charm with the consumer.

The story of the ecstasy and agony the drink has caused to those dedicated to its

growth.pemberton was first. Through a shop called Jacob’s pharmacy, he

managed to sell and average nine drinks per day to begin with volumes as sales

grew G Candler were second. Atlanta druggist, Candler brought Coca-Cola was

for $2,300 in 1891.The year after along with your companions he formed the

Coca-Cola Co. The initial stock $ 100,000 coca cola was registered as the US

patent office in 1839 and began selling at soda fountains for five scents a glass

as sort of their peptic Refreshment in 1894 it got into bottles ,courtesy a candy

merchant from Mississippi .five years later, the drink was being bottle on a

regular basis under a region wise franchise system, and it had its big

competitor ,pepsi cols coca cola’s first bottling plant in Chattanooga,

Tennessee, followed by another in Atlanta in 1900.The unique taste of coca-

cola was astounding success. Over the next two decades, the company adopted a

six and half –ounce, pale green contour bottle designed by the root glass Co. of

Terre Haute, Indiana today, it’s an intrinsic part of the brand.

2222

Page 23: Documenthh

COMPANY PROFILE

The company broadened its horizons when Robert woodruff. The son of a

banker who had acquired the company for $ 25 million in 1919.

Assumed charge in 1923 .He began by upgrading bottling operations, bought in

innovations like a six-bottle carry home carton, and upped advertising

support .It was under woodruff that the brand, known affectionately as coke by

now, associates itself with the sports. A thousand cases of Coca-Cola

accompanied the US Olympic team to the 1928 summer Olympic in

Amsterdam. By the Second World War the company ensured that every

American soldier had access to five-cone Coca-Cola bottle. As the US forces

proceeded to liberate continental Europe from Nazi menace, coca Cola

entrenched it self both at Horne and overseas as a symbol of American success.

Since then, coke seems to have accompanied America to the top of the world’s

economic and political order.

Woodruff initiated the company’s commitment 5 the organized global

expansion building 64 overseas-bottling plants during the war. By the 1950’s

colas was a daily consumption item, stored in household’s fridges, which

persuaded coca-cola to bring out the drink in bottles of big size.

As the time went by the company brought out some new aerated drink.

The first one, Fanta, appeared on shelves in 1960 .Its birth was an accident. The

company’s Germans arms, in an attempt to produce Coca-Cola with out some

key ingredients, turned out an orange flavored drink instead. Its on growth

2323

Page 24: Documenthh

welcomed it. While Fanta was being rolled out, the company bought there way

for Coca-cola food.

Several beverage followed the most notable being sprite a lemon lime

developed in the late 1951’s and formally launched in the US in 1961 .TAB a

one calorie cola 1963and frescos , low calorie citrus drink in 1966 .By the

decade and coca-cola drinks were selling in aluminum cans too.

In 1975 , the company launched Georgia canned coffee in Japan, Back in

the US, it dabbled in the wins market between 1977 and 1983 only non-cola

products headed for the big time.

In 1982 the company launched what is now considered among the

world’s successful brand extensions – Diet Coke. The idea was to retain the

loyalty of the health conscious drinker who loved the taste but hated the

calories. After this, it came out with caffeine free versions of its main drinks.

Yet

In the US the company kept losing ground to Pepsi. In 1985, it pioneered a new

cheery – flavored colon cherry coke this year is netter remembered for new

coke, a launched was aimed at tackling its archival.

Coke’s marketing team was convinced that pepsi charm with them out lay in its

sweeter taste. Considering that coke had grater brand equity, it seemed fair to

assume that reformulated, sweeter cola would smash Pepsi challenge. Coca-

Cola invited over 1.9 lacks statistically selected Americans for blind taste to

make a comparative analysis of the new formula Visa the original .The new one

got an overwhelming response.

With out a second through the company replaced coke with new coke.

How are when placed on shelves, it did not budget. On wide spread protest.

Classic coke had been recalled.

2424

Page 25: Documenthh

New coke (or Coke II) has been recorded as marketing blunder of epic

proportions. The company did not realize that coke’s value had transcended

the physical attribute of taste. The brand through of tampering with coke hurt

the consumer’s feelings. The good news that the massive show of support for

coke helped the brand reverse its market share loosed to Pepsi—a reasons why

some observes say that entire thing was actually just a poly to whip up a real

thing mania.

A truly domed experiment was Break Mate, a Coke-dispersive matching

launched in 1988 that was supposed to offer the drink at a lower per sup cost.

But the company miscalculated the cost of machine and Break Mate flopped.

In 1991 Coke decided to get more creative advertising. Part of the

objective was to over turn the common belief that pepsi was more imaginative

in its approach to the consumer. So coke split up its $ 200 million (Rs 700

cores) as accounts between Mc cann Erickson, which had been on it’s since

1955, and creative Artist Agency (CAA). Hollywood setup. While Mc can’s

campaigns concentrated on other the freshness or originality of the drink,

CAA’s were of beat instead of regular sultry images. it came up with a coke

living polar bear.

But Coca-Cola was getting jittery about the future. The share of cola in

the US soft drink market had fallen from peak of 633.6 percent in 1984 to 60.4

percent in 1991. To safeguard it self the company invaded several new markets.

One was the market ready to drink iced tea, which it entered via a joint venture

with Nestle (brand Nestea)in 1992 another was that for sport drinks, where it

launched power ,where it launched Power ad to attack Gatorades, from Quarter

Oats.

2525

Page 26: Documenthh

In recant years, the company has fight a host of private label drinks across

the US the rise of which leads many to believe that the days of the great Brand

are numbered. Coke disputes such thinking saying that faceless entities, how are

cheap or taste cannot match the more than 194 other countries making up the

bulk.

The company has about hundred in its portfolio, but coke, Fantail and sprite

account for almost all its sales. In 1994, the real thing coke sold over billion

liters.

For the taste of it; Diet Coke, along with Coca Cola light, sold 8.5 liters,

which makes it the world’s third largest selling drink after regular Coke and

pepsi. In 1994 Fanta and sprite, the two non cola drinks, sold over 6.5 billion

liters each, while sprite is aimed at the independent youngest who doesn’t care

what other drink (the ad line; Obey your thirst) Fanta has adopted characters.

Which vary from region to region-to play on the fun theme?

Coca-cola foods is chiefly into juices under the Minute Maid and HI-C .It

has just entered as emerging category of non-carbonated tropical fruit teas with

Fruitopia .The company had tied its hand at root beer with rambling .It was a

disaster. Last year Coca-cola brought America S.no 2 root beer, Barq’s.

Shareholders are pleased with Coca-cola progress in the past decade

during which value of its entire tradable share grew than seven times.

In 1923, Cola-cola re entered India after a year exile, four year after Pepsi

made a début. Coke has struck a strange sic alliance with Thumps Up marketer

parley Exports abed is aiming to raise the country’s pathetically low per capita

consumption (0.6 liters a year, in comparison with the US 83.5 liters).

presence in India was cemented in November that year in a deal that gave

Coca-Cola ownership of the nation's top soft-drink brands and bottling network.

Coca-Cola India has made significant investments to build and continually

improve its business in India, including new production facilities, wastewater

treatment plants, distribution systems and marketing equipment.

During the past decade, the Coca-Cola system has invested more than US$1

billion in India. As such Coca-Cola is one of the country’s top international

investors. In 2003, Coca-Cola India pledged to invest a further US$100 million

in its operations.

Coca-Cola business system directly employs approximately 6,000 local people

in India.

In India, we indirectly create employment for more than 125,000 people in

related industries through our vast procurement, supply and distribution system

Virtually all the goods and services required to produce and market Coca-Cola

locally are made in India.

The Coca-Cola system in India comprises 27 wholly-owned company-owned

bottling operations and another 17 franchisee-owned bottling operations

A network of 29 contract-packers also manufactures a range of products for

the Company The complexity of the Indian market is reflected in the

distribution fleet, which includes 10-tonne trucks, open-bay three-wheelers that

can navigate the narrow alleyways of Indian cities, and trademarked tricycles

and pushcarts.

The Coca-Cola business system directly employs approximately 10,000 local

people in India. In addition, several independent studies have documented that,

by providing opportunities for local enterprises, the Coca-Cola business also

generates a significant employment “multiplier effect”. In India, we indirectly

create employment for more than 125,000 people in related industries through

our vast procurement, supply and distribution system.

They are:

1. Water treatment

2. Syrup preparation

3. Bottle washing

4. Filling and capping

The first three above –mentioned stages are decoupled from one through

inventory and they processed alone three independent parallel lines. The stages

can be seen as an assembly stage.

1. WATER TEATMENT

At this stage hard water is dematerialized to soft water for the soft drink base.

The process of reverse osmosis does the conversion of hard water of soft water.

2. SYRUP PREPARATION

Preparation of syrup is done in 2 stages. Initially the rose syrup is prepared at 80

degree Celsius and then the syrup is cooled to 25 degree Celsius, Which

becomes ready to be mixed .The mixing of the ready syrup is done in the

mixing unit.

bottle washing machine transports the dirty bottles where the bottles are

primarily washed as 50 degree Celsius and the secondary.

QUALITY

COCA-COLA considers the consistent high quality of our beverages to be one

of our business’ primary assets. In India, as in each country where we produce

our beverages, the Coca-Cola system adheres not only to national laws on food

processing and labeling, but also to our own strict standards for exceptional

quality. In everything we do, from the selection of ingredients to the production

of our beverages and their delivery to the marketplace, we use our specialized

quality management system, The Coca-Cola Quality System, to ensure that we

are offering consumers only the highest quality products. We monitor our

success through our customer and consumer feedback and our in-trade

monitoring programmes, and this information enables us to continuously

improve our already demanding systems

28TH January 1997 saw the launch of QA 2000 in India as novel and

interesting conference at Leela Kempenski, Mumbai and Attended by over

150 delegates from bottling operation of the Coca-cola system in India.

The speaker put fourth the three quality principal of QA 2000, to ensure that

the Coca-cola company.

- Is the symbol of quality around the world?

- Delivers continued customer and consumer satisfaction.

- Operated as a responsible corporate citizen.

Peter Adam Director Technical, Coca-Cola India, unveiled the all new

equation “Q=”SMC “The explanation is:

3939

Page 40: Documenthh

Quality= Satisfy more customer and sell more coca-cola sell more products.

How can improvement of qualities concentrate on target the consumer’s

preference? The consumer, while making a decision on whether or not but

coke product get influence by the product and the company image.

Product quality of course is the most important factor in the decision

process. Besides the product many other thing s projects the image like;-

- Packing

- Bottling

- Vehicles

- Outdoor advertisement

- Rout sales persons

- Merchandise activities

- People at desk

The above point should be understood very well in how they help in projection

of image and should be improved continuously.

CONSUMER HEALTH AND SAFTY IN MINDS:-

Coca-Cola India is committed to public health and safety. Quality framework

QA2000 incorporates the principles to operate as a responsible corporate citizen

of which public health is an integral part.

In recent years seeing that 80% of all soft drinks are consumed on premises that

Is on point of purchase rather that at home Pepsi invested Rs 60 cores in installing

4000 fountain contraption at retail stores countrywide.

Coke in comparison, has gone slow on fountain (a deliberate strategy, says its

exclusives), because there is quality issued that first has to be addressed regarding

4040

Page 41: Documenthh

the water used on site. This only reaffirms the coke’s concern for consumer

health.

ADVERTISEMENT AND PUNCH LINE OF COCA-COLA

I’d like to start with what is according to me plain and simple but true... Coke

was the Original Cola drink... And Pepsi has been and always will be... a distant

second.

There are a number of opinions up here... but most of them (especially the pro-

pepsi ones) seem to be missing ONE major fact. Lets not all forget when Coke

was re-introduced to the Indian market in the 90’s, one very common remark

was the taste difference between the Coke here and the Coke some of us have

had the privilege of tasting in other countries. Even the Middle Eastern cans

(the ones with the Arabic script) that used to be available here at exorbitant

prices before the introduction of Coke had a very significant taste difference.

6161

Page 62: Documenthh

Like everything else India is useless at making Cola too. So a comparison

between two products on a worldwide forum such as this one really wouldn’t be

sensible because the products clearly differ from place to place.

Pepsi, in India has the best brand ambassadors (mass appeal wise... not for me

though... heheh). Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkar have a crazy

number of fans all over the country. I’ve heard something about Amitabh being

worshipped by a small African tribe as well (true?).

The Advertisement campaign for the Coca Cola company has been pretty

aggressive in the past... However they only used it to attract customers after the

introduction of Sprite and to revive the now dying Thums-up. However Pepsi’s

recent aggressive marketing really isn’t in good taste for the simple reason that

its not like they need to go to such extremes, but they still did. Healthy

competition is always good between top contenders but there’s no real reason to

stoop down to this kind of level when things are not really going that badly.

But nevertheless the Red vs. Blue battle has raged on for a really long time

now, opinions will always differs... but from the looks of things (including the

ratings on this site itself). It looks like Coke still has the upper hand.

Brand Ambassadors

Coca-Cola had signed on various celebrities including movie stars such as

Karishma Kapoor, cricketers such as Srinath, Sourav Ganguly, southern

celebrities like Vijay in the past and today, its brand ambassadors are Aamir

Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Vivek Oberoi and cricketer Virendra Sehwag.

LIMITATION LIMITATION

During research certain limitation came in many ways, which are below-

TimeTime

Two months are not sufficient to cover the various aspect outlined in the study.

Because the area of research was wide and span of time was very short. So it

was not possible to go deep in the study. Meticulous and diligent effort has been

taken to discuss the main topic in detail.

Money

Personal survey method is highly expensive method as well as time consuming.

Being a student it is not possible to spend much money in research because

institution also deprives me from stipend.

Transcription errorsTranscription errors

They also pertinent in doing the research work.

SecrecySecrecy

It has to be mentioned in case of official data. So it is difficult to get relevant

data from the office. Coca-Cola Office In North Delhi gave me information

what ever they could in approximation.

8989

Page 90: Documenthh

Non Response Error

During survey we found some people (outlets owner & distributor) refused in

answering first of all, because they had no interest in

Such sort of work what consumed their precious time or some other reason. But

after being convinced or motivated by us they ready to give the answer.

Others

The Sample Size Of Retailers And Consumers Was Small.

The respondents may be based on influenced by some other factors.

A Numbers Of Retailers Being Illiterate, It Took Us Lot Of Time

Collecting The Information.

Page 91: Documenthh

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

1. Good brand image.

2. Good quality of flavor.

3. Customer’s satisfaction on Coca-Cola Company.

4. Well trained customer executive.

WEAKNESS

1. Low time of expiry date.

2. Less grievance handling.

4. Less personal contact of high officials with shop keepers.

OPPORTUNITY

1. High growth rate of cold drinks market.

2. Hotels, restaurants, parks can have good consumption of flavours.

festivals.

9191

Page 92: Documenthh

5. Good and tasty flavours for healthy body.

THREATS

1. Not very good arrangement as compared to others.

2. Competitors are giving good schemes.

9292

Page 93: Documenthh

CONCLUSIONS

Service aspect of agencies is very effective, they deliver their product

according to the demand a just in time.

After conducting the field market survey of retailer in Delhi city, I analyze

that coca cola brands are dominating over Pepsi.

Around 65% of total consumption in a year consumed in summer (April to

July) season.

After analyzing the market and calculate the weight age. The result comes

out that coca-cola is no 1 brand.

The analysis several that minimum discount or schemes are available on

coke compare to Pepsi.

Consumers do have a demand for 200ml, 300ml bottle and 2 liter.

Retailers have problem in advertisement material.

Retailers have complaint regarding the plastic bottle that better quality pet

bottle should be used.

Consumers are satisfied with the quality of coca-cola products.

9393

Page 94: Documenthh

The market share of maaza has good market in Delhi.

Coke found to have good market coverage in Delhi.

Its brand limca, fanta, maaza, sprite, thumps-up too hold a good grip over

the market in comparison to main competitor products m. lemon, m.orange ,

slice, m.dew, Pepsi.

Retailers have a demand of some extra quantity and free gifts.

Most of the consumers considered RGB bottles as the best package.

Cola product is highly demanded by consumers.

Dew is leading over the sprite.

Taste of dew is better the taste of sprite.

Only 25% of the consumers retain with the brand.

Of course Pepsi advertisement is more preferable by consumers.

Advertisement is not a very major factor in consumption of the soft drinks.

9494

Page 95: Documenthh

Chilled bottles influence the consumer to change the preference, so it’s a

major factor.

Taste and availability of stock is the major factor.

Coke Company is better than Pepsi in distribution system or in problem

shooting regarding the maintenance of freeze or cooling equipments.

9595

Page 96: Documenthh

RECOMMENDATIONS

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAKING THE TRADE PROFITABLE FOR THE COMPANY ARE AS MENTIONED BELOW:

The survey explicitly several that the company should provide some more

schemes and incentives mainly in seasons to retailers if they achieve target.

The company should be improving poor claim statement.

Pouches, foreign particles were found in few bottles so proper quality control

measures should be implemented as companies’ reputations are at stake.

Company should try to make monopolists fat dealers it necessary because

them they will be forced to sale the coca-cola product even if the company

isn’t providing any further discount scheme.

Today in the situation of day-by-day competitions. Coca-cola should because

widely awake and alert to maintain its present market share and should devise

fresh situation and program to enhance its sales.

That time many companies are entering the soft drink segment so company

should are more attraction on display schemes no of holding should be

increased and more change should be provide as Pepsi ahead of coca-cola in

providing these above in north-Delhi.

9696

Page 97: Documenthh

OTHERS:

School students, collages, canteens, cinema hall should be targeted.

Taste of sprite should be improved.

In promotions of sales of sprite the company should provides different

schemes with the sprite like(collection of crown and get attractive prize or t-

shirts or cap.etc)

Advertisement must be improved and should show more appeal and targeted to youth

and children.

A Company creates favorable impression among the youth if they sponsors

small events like collages festivals, university programs & school functions.

The company should also organize some fashion shows; quiz programs etc

promote their sales.

The company should ensure the timely product supply to the distributor and

the retailers it was seen that staff in general & flavor in particular remains in

short during the seasons.

Better schemes & benefit should be providing to retailers because it is

retailers only who promote the product of company.

9797

Page 98: Documenthh

To argument the sale of kinley mineral water & soda the company must

provide some attractive free gifts & schemes.

Quality of pet bottle should be improved so that most problems can be

minimized.

Soft drink is still considered a treat virtually a luxury so it possible company

should cut down its price especially of cans.
