I'd like to pull an example of this value-oriented strategy from history, one which I think illustrates this very well. It's the story of Pepsi-Cola. Today, soft drinks and particularly cola drinks are seen very much as commodities, this despite all of

Spanish town claims: We invented Coca Cola - Public Radio ...
Coca Cola celebrates its 125th anniversary this year. The soft drink giant has much to celebrate. In 1886 it was serving nine cokes a day, out of a single soda shop in Atlanta.
Today the world consumes more than a billion cokes a day, according to a Coca Cola spokesman. Credit for coke's secret recipe goes to a pharmacist named John Pemberton. But if you ask around a certain tiny village in southeast Spain, people tell a different story. The folks in Ayelo say they invented coke first.
Take Pablo, for example, one of Ayelo's two policemen. "Thanks to our town, he said on a recent day, "you Americans were able to market Coca Cola all around the world."
Pablo's -- and Ayelo's -- extraordinary claim is a mix of legend and circumstantial evidence, and requires some explaining. It starts where Pablo the policeman was standing: inside the 126 year old Fabrica de Liquores, or the Liquor Factory.
It's a family run distillery that makes liquors with anis, strawberry, raspberry, as well as a sweet, dark syrup with a slight vanilla finish. The name: Cola Coca.
The year it was first concocted, according to company records, was 1884. That's two years before Coca Cola.
JuanJo Mica runs the family distillery now. He's fourth generation, 72 years old, nearly retired himself. On a recent afternoon he was sitting behind his desk in his dark office.
Philadelphia Prize
'My great great uncle took his cola coca syrup to America that same year -1884 -- And won a prize at a fair in Philadelphia," he said. "Supposedly, the Americans tried it, liked it and two years later their soft drink, Coca Cola, was born."
The unspoken assumption is that coke's founder, the American John Pemberton, must have somehow gotten his hands on some Cola Coca, copied it, flipped the name, added carbonated water and, well, the rest is history.
But Coca Cola's in-house archivist in Atlanta, Phil Mooney, said he doubted the veracity of the Ayelo legend, but that it didn't surprise him either.
"We have had at various points in time claims from places like Scotland and India that the formula originated there," he said in a phone interview. "One of the great things about having a secret recipe is that these sorts of stories pop up periodically.
