The social costs of producing a can of coke in terms of resources, pollution, etc. are extensive. The amount of water that is needed to create a single liter of Coca-Cola is vastly different. For every nine liters of fresh water, only one liter of Coca-Cola is created. The pollution created by the Coke plants is also costly. Pollution arises due to impurities sin the air and water from shipments and factories themselves.
To start off, Mr. Herbert challenges the rights of the slogan that both the Coca-Cola company and Mr. Seaver’s Grove Press company have been using. Herbert attempts to emphasize the size of the problem, claiming that “Several people have called to our attention…” the trouble of both companies using the slogan (line 1). Herbert underscoring the problem creates the effect that it is a noticeable problem that needs a solution as soon as possible. In addition to that Herbert uses a professional tone, introducing his claim in a formal manner, and not plainly demanding for Grove Press to stop using the slogan. Establishing a professional tone can help in an argument as that makes the writer seem like credible, which connects back to ethos.
Mr. Herbert has addressed the issue to the Grove Press about the use of their slogan “It’s the real thing”, which brings the debate of who has ownership. Mr. Herbert wants Coca-Cola to stop using the slogan by using his serious tone and the use of logical appeals. Mr. Seaver, on the other hand, responds to Herbert’s proposal in a satirical tone by using hyperboles and understatement. Since Mr. Herbert is able to put the argument in more realistic terms of this case, it implies that his argument is more persuasive than Mr. Seaver’s.
The general argument made by Candace Choi in her article on CBS News, is that the consumption of water has increased due to the flavored drops, along with the idea that the drops will impact the other Coca- Cola products selling amount. More specifically, Choi argues that many of the flavored packets that you put in your waters have been influencing and, in a way, forcing them to buy a bottled water. Also, with Choi states that many of the other Coca- Cola products would be affected by the increase of the Dasani Drops. She states, “Overall consumption of bottled water has also been growing, although at a much slower pace than in the early 2000’s…”(p2, p14.)
The Civil War Lives On In the cartoon “Longest War,” Robert Ariail alludes that, although the Civil War ended years ago, it lives on through controversy today. The author utilizes irony, lampoon, and symbolism to reveal the absurdity of the protests. The purpose of this cartoon is to criticize the people involved in the protests in order to bring to light the irony of starting another war about statues memorializing a previous war.

The article will focus on different kinds of logical fallacies, which includes: appeal to vanity, suppressed evidence, begging the question, and false cause. First, appeal to vanity is a form of the indirect approach, and it often involves linking the love, admiration, or approval of the crowd with some famous figure who is loved, admired, or approved of. For instance, the writer notes” Here, actor and future U.S. President Ronald Reagan is seen in a 1950s ad for Chesterfield cigarettes. Jazz legend Louis Armstrong appears in an advertisement for Camel cigarettes. Ground-breaking baseball player Jackie Robinson endorses Chesterfield cigarettes in this 1940s advertisement.
Big corporations create division within our society and shaped the world we call home. Herbert an executive of Coca- Cola narrates the fact that Haskins advertisement of his novel should have not used “it’s a real thing” because it will caused confusion, but on the other hand Seaver mocks Herbert in order to correct what he states. Grove Press and Coca-Cola argument sound ridiculous and humorous due to the fact they are simple fighting over a slogan. They eventually criticized one another as form of persuading each other and realized their mistakes. In this additionally, Seaver sounded more persuasive due to use of rhetorical devices of hyperbole and ethos.
One of his major accomplishments can be recognized during the “cola wars” of the 80’s. Between the countless marketing strategies conducted by other beverage companies, and the release of the “new coke”, which created an American uproar, Keough was able to steer Coca-Cola into success. Although there were many difficulties, Keough was determined to keep the company on the right track, which he explains in his statement: “It is like a perpetual marriage, you get along to go along, you have difficulties, spats, but you have to sit down and say we are going to work this out” (Whalen and O’Dowd). At times I feel star struck thinking about the life and work of my grandfather, and he always made the time to sit down and have certain “talks” with his grandchildren. His words and insight would inspire us with hope about what we can accomplish with hard work, and would give us the perfect amount of push so that in hopes we will one day we could be as or more successful as
In the second paragraph, Herbert demands the Grove Press Executive Vice President, Seaver, to stop the use of “Coca-Cola’s” slogan , Ira C. Herbert uses an arrogant tone. By stating that the Coca-Cola corporation has been using the slogan “It’s the Real Thing” for a far longer time than the publication of the book. Herbert demanded that Grove Press stop the use of the “Theme or slogan in connection to the book.” (Herbert Line 7). The Grove Press in no way uses the slogan for advertising purposes, but rather to symbolize this book as one that will be read for lifetime of generations to come.

The case that I will be talking about today is the case of POM Wonderful LLC vs Coca-Cola Company in which POM Wonderful felt that Coca-Cola was using false advertising to promote its own drink to sell to customers. POM Wonderful makes its own fruits to be used in their fruit chooses and they sell a drink that is made of 100 percent fruit juices with 85 percent being pomegranate juice and the other 15 percent blueberry juice. Coca-Cola also make a juice drink through the Minute Maid division of their company with the label saying pomegranate blueberry in giant letters. The Coca-Cola juice is made with only 0.3 percent of pomegranate juice and 0.2 percent of blueberry juice along with 0.1 percent of raspberry juice and 99.4 percent of a combination of apple and grape juices. The focus of the complaint was that the Coca-Cola juice label had the words pomegranate and blueberry in all capital letters and then underneath that the words got smaller and explained that it was a “flavored blend of 5 juices” and that it was made “from concentrate with added ingredients” (Cheeseman).
