Abstract

In this technology world, a report claimed that the major brands of soft drinks manufactured by the Indian subsidiaries of the multinational soft drink companies Pepsi and Coke contained deadly pesticides. The reaction of the Indian Parliament and many state Governments was categorically impulsive and strong. The Union health ministry, as per the instructions of the court, ordered the testing of the soft drinks in the Government laboratories. The test revealed that all these soft drinks were within the safety limits prescribed in the country. This was a relief to the Cola companies. This paper talks about how the technology helps to reach the entire nation and how the soft drink companies decided to part their ways and to chart out their individual strategies to take the message of safety to the consumers.
