alice29 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Pepsi had a difficult time in China because of the translations. 1. In 1958, Pepsi’s slogan was “Be sociable” which translated as, “Be intimate.” Sales dropped. 2.Pepsi then changed their slogan in 1961 to, “Now it’s Pepsi for those who think young” which was translated to, “New Pepsi is for people with the minds of children.” Sales dropped even more. 3.“Come alive in with Pepsi!” became “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the dead.” and the catch phrase “Come alive! You’re in the Pepsi generation,” was instead heard as “Resurrect! Your body will be made of Pepsi!” B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alice29 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 really. maybe that was made just for fun. if i were that employee i wont do that in public, maybe at home in my room lol. anyway coke tastes better than pepsi. chinese should have hired a good translator for the product.

pjbabia Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 why are you wondering if china people still drinking pepsi? is pepsi not saleable in china now? well i tell you Alice, Google gives better result than yahoo.. that is why most users online use google.. including the geeks... because google has a keyword filtering functions that is not available in bing and yahoo..

alice29 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 well with what happened with their product in china with all those bad translations, i guess they are having problems with it. :rolleyes: just look for it's meaning on this article. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 pepsi sales dropped in our country not because of translations but about their winning crown with the 3 digits on it. i guess that was the 349 issue. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbabia Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 what is that 349 issue? for me i think the reason why pepsi is not saleable in our country is because pepsi does not taste good... but i like 7up better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues03 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 sometimes it's depends on the people of a country whether they like or not the taste or brand...in my country...people love coke more than pepsi..sometimes people do not even want pepsi here :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alice29 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 as far as i remember, the pepsi issue was about a winning crown with the digit 349. but it became a problem when a lot won the same number. :wacko: but of course those others are fake. but people still complained about it. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
