Julia Dove-Turner said two women "maliciously, wantonly and inten tionally mutilated and destroyed" the plants in a flower bed between her condominium and an. adjoining unit. Three men are also named in the suit. Dove-Turner said she and her hus band, Patrick Turner, planted a small garden in May 1982 and within 48 hours were given verbal and written notice by the defendants to remove the garden. She said a grounds crew destroyed much of the garden, but the couple placed surviving tomato plants in a flower bed. She said the remaining plants were destroyed in a "tomato massacre" on Sept. 19, and that the couple had not received notice to remove the plants. Last October, three women in cluding two of the defendants named in the suit were acquitted in Mecklen burg District Court on charges of damaging property stemming from the destruction of the plants. Wednesday, September 21, 1983The Daily Tar Heel3 'Pepsi challenge part of company strategy By CINDY PARKER Stan Writer Does Coke add life? Or is this the Pepsi generation? The makers of Pepsi are ad vising consumers to let their tastes decide as the cola war rages on. In a Monday night meeting of the American Marketing Association, Richard M. Routhier, director of mar keting operations of Pepsi USA, outlined Pepsi Colas strategies in the battle of the soft drinks. '' With the exception of water, more peo ple consume soft drinks than any other beverage, including coffee, milk and beer. Soft drinks brought in more than $21 billion in revenue in 1981 alone. Pepsi fought an uphill battle against its main competitor, Coca-Cola, for nearly 70 years after its birth in New Bern. The low image associated with the Pepsi name was a big obstacle to overcome, Routhier said. "People used to pour Pepsi into pit chers in their kitchens, and serve it as Coke in their living rooms," Routhier told the audience of about 65 at the Governor's Inn Monday night. The cam paign that followed was intended to upgrade the image of the product and met with great success. The Pepsi Co. was positive that their, product was the best on the market, Routhier said. They merely had to con vince the consumers of that, he added, so they created the "Pepsi Challenge," the first use of comparative advertising in this field. "It drove Coke crazy," he said. Pepsi overtook its rival in the 1970s. Now, when Coke and Pepsi are sold side-by-side, Pepsi is chosen more often, Routhier said. Coca-Cola still has a financial advan tage over Pepsi, however, and is able to invest more in such areas as the vending market. Routhier explained that while this market gives exceptional exposure to the product, it is an expensive one. Each vending machine costs $1,200 and takes 3 Vi years to pay off in sales. The . rising physical-fitness era neces sitated the marketing of new products that cater to the ingredient-conscious consumer. Soon after Coca-Cola's suc cess with Tab, Pepsi joined the ranks of the diet drinks. It had become obvious, Routhier said that "people were drinking the stuff despite the fact that they hated the taste." , Pepsi got a slow start in this new market, but felt a recent boost as it gave the nation its first caffeine-free cola, and last year a sugar-free, caffeine-free cola. While Coke has countered with new drinks of its own, Pepsi continues to cor ner the market, Routhier said. And there are new products' in the works behind the doors at Pepsi. A diet Mountain Dew is being tested in Little Rock, Ark., and Routhier hopes it will be in the Triangle area soon. In addition, colas sweetened with aspartame, an ar tificial sweetener, should make their debut by the end of this year. Aspartame, is slightly more expensive than sac charine, but Routhier .said the taste was more like sugar. The use of the new sweetener is expected to double the diet drink category in the next few years. Routhier, when asked about 7-Up said, "Being a soft-drink business without a cola is like being a burger business without a burger." And regarding the makers of RC and RC-100: "They have trouble keeping one name on the market." University Lake Tum Uk Lvl 58 Inch belowMI i x -: - ' - ....
