Soft Drinks
Who in this world has drank a soda? Many have tried to drink soda. Do you think soda is good for you, or do you think soda is bad for you? If one wants to look into it then they can look into it, but the issue becomes everyone has their own research and everyone has their own opinion. From a rough opinion, soda isn’t the best for you but sometimes it’s good for the human body to consume soda. Some popular soda drinks include Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Fanta, 7-Up, etc… If one looks at their supply chain many are owned by the same distributors. Example, if one goes on the Coca-Cola Website from there one can see all the other drinks owned by their manufacturing company. For example, Fanta and Sprite are both owned by the Coca-Cola company. This is something really important to know as the company creates many soft drinks and has a lot of power over our world.
Pepsi/Pakistan Manufacturer
So some of the most famous drinks, Pepsi and Aquafina are developed in Karachi, Pakistan. This drink is well-known worldwide and is drunk by many. If one looks at the amount Pepsi generates in revenue, that amount would outstand you. That amount is more than 1 billion according to their website. The drink is safe as many do say it isn’t and to be honest, Pepsi is going nowhere in the future. According to Artificial Intelligence Research, you can technically use Pepsi to clean a toilet due to its phosphoric acid content, which helps break down hard water stains and mineral buildup. Pepsi is still safe to consume and is one of the biggest drinks consumed if one goes into any supermarket, can find Pepsi as a soft drink.
Favorite Soft Drink
What’s your favorite soft drink? When one drinks a soft drink can they taste the difference? How does one feel about the variations of soda? If one takes a look at Pepsi and one takes a look at Coca-Cola is there a difference? Let’s take a look at Pepsi's nutrition facts compared to Coca-Cola's. If one looks at the nutrition facts the calories are 150, sugar is 41g for 12 ounces of a Pepsi. If one takes a look at Coca-Cola about the same in nutrition facts but Coca-Cola does have less sugar and around the same calories. These companies both compete but do you think they should merge as merging would be something that helps grow and unite the brands but since the manufacturers have other drinks it looks like a lost cause.
Soft Drinks
So let’s say one goes to a supermarket. Since the supermarket supplies the soft drinks people are more interested and enticed to drink them. With the supermarket people feel safe they feel in control and since there are so many worldwide, many conform and feel like they’re in safe hands. Are we in safe hands with soft drinks? Now these are discussions that are difficult to have because the knowledge we inquire will be based off who we learn from. From a vague standpoint, soda isn’t the healthiest choice but a great go-to compared to so many things that are sold in our world. Much healthier than alcohol.
Diving Deep into Super Markets
When one dives deep into supermarkets there are years of heritage built from that country to encourage people to shop. Now take a look at where the world is today. Soft drinks are available online on Amazon which is a huge distribution company based in the USA. Obviously, as a consumer one will most likely either a. Buy a lot of Pepsi from the internet and have it shipped and/or b.Go to a supermarket and buy one. As we move forward, besides groceries expect people to go away from the shop as people want their lives easier rather than harder. The harder the life the fewer chances of people working with that person. The internet is where the focus will be so it will be interesting to see how much they hide in revenue in the future as the corporates are going to have to get tighter and work together to generate their revenue as the prediction is less sales moving forward.
Overview
So overall if one looks at soft drinks from a corporate standpoint they can see where our world lies mentally. Think about when one buys a soft drink. Why do they buy a soft drink, because the soft drink entices them and makes their body feel better. Similar to a person who is friends with someone people are enticed by what is in front of them and what attracts them. Let’s say there’s Pepsi on a Times Square billboard. So when looking at the billboard one sees Pepsi and says WOW, I need to buy because Times Square real estate is expensive and then when one looks at the true root they’re enticed by money and this is something that is natural. Then the soft drink becomes an emotional crutch where people might become addicted to it. The more produced by the manufacturer the more chances of buying and sharing with their friends. People have to be enticed and people have to always go as big as possible as at the end of the day it’s all about impressing people. Our mind is impressed with money because that's how we can sustain a living in the USA. So if one thinks around money, they can see how they can collaborate with the things they were fascinated by as a kid. Hopefully in the future, people who are protecting our country are more in style or the people who are working for the country are in style compared to the regular person, because although America is home of the brave and land of the free the people who work around want an easier life. Back to soft drinks, to wrap up this article, soft drinks control our mind thoughts and who we are as people.
