other again.

In the U.S.soft drink industry, where 1% of the market is worth $ 300 million in
retail
sales
, Coca-
Cola and PepsiCo don’t wage mere market share battles.They fight
holy
wars
.These
days
the
fighting
is
on
two
fronts.One
is
on
the
vast
plains of
the
cola
business, where the reformulation of Coke has Pepsi
on the defensive
.The other is in
the
back alleys
of the smaller, non-cola market.Until now these have been dominated
by other companies.As growth of
high-calorie
colas slows, however, Coca-Cola and
PepsiCo are invading new territory.
