 The Indian Cricket Team was having a successful run after
the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The color of their jersey
was blue & therefore PepsiCo attempted with Pepsi

Reasons of failure
 The taste of Pepsi Blue was like cotton
candy with a berry and much more sugary
and syrupy than regular cola
 It was tinted using Blue 1, a highly
controversial coloring agent banned in
numerous countries at the time
 Sugary taste was not accepted by the
consumers. video imp.mp4

Strategies
 Pepsi Blue could come up with the different
taste than berry flavor,i.e. strong fizzy cola
to attract youth segment
 Advertisements focusing on repositioning of
Pepsi blue which has eliminated the sugary
taste factor
 The taste should be immediately change,
since it’s competitors taking due
advantage because of Pepsi’s sweeter
taste
Contd..
 Moreover, Pepsi should start creating its
awareness about duplication of its
products these days
