If there are food and beverage brands that are basically exactly alike, then why do they make different kinds?!


Question: For Example,
Pepsi and Coke- Many people say that they aren't the same. But otherwise there is different brands that aren't as popular as those two that are EXACTLY like each other.
Woudn't it be a waste of money to make those brands?

Twister and Fanga orange soda.
Huggies and Luvs diapers?
Sony and Pasonic?
Aquafina, Poland Springs, and Dasani?
Gateway and Hp Computers?
Roseart and Crayola?
Mugs and A&W Rootbeer?

Am I alone here? What is the difference?

Hambone is right. Everyone who wants to make a similar product can. If they can make money on it then they continue to make it. People often think they can make a product better and cheaper. But you are correct, many are very similar.

It's called Free Enterpriise in the capitalistic society. " If you can make money selling this, so can I"

they just barrely taste different and its just a money matter

It would only be a waste of money if only one brand was purchased and the other was not. And trust me, if money is lost, whatever it was goes out of production real fast.You not thinking of this realistically. The world does not work on the logic you are thinking of.

as humans we would get bored if we all ate the same stuff and like wore the same clothes
