Read the article from the magazine and think of its title. Prove your opinion:

Coca-Cola and Pepsi are fighting around the world to gain supremacy in newly open territory.

Coca-Cola was invented by Dr. John Pemberton, a pharma-cist from Atlanta, Georgia, in May, 1886. He combined kola nut extract with coca extract. Coca-cola has operated outside the U. S. since 1897. Soon it has become the world’s best-known trademark. While Pepsi’s company makes most of its profit from its snack-food and restaurant operations, Coca-Cola gains 80 % of its operat-ing profit from its overseas beverage business. Coca-Cola can thank the U. S. government for its success abroad. During World War II, the U. S. military built more than 60 Coke bottling plants outside the U. S. to supply American troops.

Pepsi got its international marketing break in 1959 when then chairman Donald Kendall handed Soviet President Nikita Khrush-chev a bottle: that gave the company an entrée into Eastern Europe. Since the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Coca-Cola has moved swiftly to overcome Pepsi’s edge in Eastern Europe. Coke claims the lead in Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romani and Bulgaria, Pepsi is fighting especially hard in the former Soviet Union where it claims to retain the lead.

However the Coke-Pepsi battle turns out. ‘Both companies are going to make their products more available. They’re also going to lower process. That means more consumers buying more soft drinks,’ says Joseph Doyle in New City.
