At the time, PepsiCo, the company's owner, eliminated the classic arched logo and orange with a straw and replaced it with a simpler package. However, consumer backlash and plummeting sales led to the rebranding's failure. Tropicana lost over $100 million, making it one of the worst marketing failures in history. This rebranding simplified the brand's visual identity […]
