With the sports nutrition market expected to exhibit growth due to recent changes in lifestyles, PepsiCo has the "first mover advantage" with their introduction of Organic Gatorade, but they still have to compete with other strong competitive forces, such as Coca-Cola's Powerade and Body Armor. Organic Gatorade has been introduced with having three flavors: strawberry, lemon, and mixed berry, this could demonstrate to be a downfall for this sports drink since many competitors are introducing a variety of flavors that could attract more consumers to their brands. Body Armor, a sports drink that claims that it is a healthier drink option because it is made from coconut water and has all-natural ingredients, is partially owned by Kobe Bryant is attacking PepsiCo's Gatorade to take over their market share (Snyder, 2015). Body Armor has many athletes that are not just paid to endorse the product but also have equity in the company, this advantage allows them to gain the insights of these athletes with how to market the product by including them in the business decisions. PepsiCo has always been competitive with Coca-Cola; this rivalry still stands true with the sports drinks industry. Coca-Cola has stated that to continue to meet the needs of the consumer that they would lower the amount of sugar and shrink the drink sizes (Zimberoff, 2017). In order for PepsiCo to stay a competitive force in the sports drink wars, they need to make changes such as offering a smaller size of their Organic Gatorade and lowering the price. Most sports drinks are offered to have a comparable price, however, if marketers for Organic Gatorade lowered their price they would be able to attract more consumers. They would be allowing the consumer the opportunity to have a healthier drink with a lower price than the
This was invented by scientists from the University of Florida, for football players to drink during practice and games.

The company promised that the new Sierra Mist Natural lemon-lime soda is going to be make with natural flavors, real sugar, and nothing artificial. Additionally, they used the nature as their themes in the advertisement campaigns to boost the products’ freshness feelings for the audiences to see and feel when they look at the advertisement. PepsiCo targets audiences who love natural, no caffeine, freshness, and make with real sugars products.

Gatorade was founded in the summer of 1965 when a University of Florida assistant coach sat down with a team of physicians to determine why so many players were being affected by the heat and its illnesses. Two key factors were determined by the group of researchers: the fluids and electrolytes lost were not being replaced, and the large amounts of carbohydrates used for energy were not being replenished. The researchers went to the lab and formulated a balanced carbohydrate – electrolyte drink that would replace the key factors the Gator players lost through practice and games. That is how the name ‘Gatorade’ came to be. This commercial has a strong ethos, pathos and logos with professional athletes and voice overs of ethos, music, visuals

He created Gatorade at the university of Florida. It's located in Gainesville, FL. According to www.nerdfitness.com, “Gatorade has electrolytes: your body soaks up these electrolytes quicker because your electrolytes are depleted from exercise, and they soak up the water right along with it. Regular water works just fine too, it just doesn't get absorbed as quickly. Gatorade has a good amount of sodium and glucose “.
Being a person of sports and fitness, the brand ‘Gatorade’ is quite familiar. Gatorade isn't just any sports drink but a sports drink that is known for its exquisite taste and excellent job at replacing ones electrolytes. Gatorade is a beverage most enjoy but for athletes it is practically a blessing. The world known drink motivates and pushes its athletes to go above and beyond and to be sure to hydrate as well. In one of the many Gatorade commercials out there, I was able to see as to how Gatorade used ethos, pathos and logos to both amuse and convince its audience.

Moreover, Quaker tried to make an agreement with distributers for both Gatorade and Snapple. Which was another failure. Finally, Quaker changed bottling with larger sizes as it did for Gatorade, but failed it again. People had been already using the “32-ounce bottles” which was satisfying their needs by then. Needlessly, going from 32-ounce bottles to 64-ounce ones was a misunderstanding of customer’s needs and as expected, it resulted in a drop in sales and couldn’t be
