Tha an t-sreath seo, Aghaidh ri Aghaidh a' dèanamh coimeas eadar dithis air a bheil sinn uile eòlach, a' sealltainn a' chòmhstri a bh' eatorra agus mar a thug seo buaidh air ar beatha làitheil.

Pepsi v Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola v Pepsi: còmhstri a th' air a bhith a' dol còrr air ceud bliadhna eadar dà bhuidheann. Bha Pepsi a-riamh a' sabaid an aghaidh Coca-Cola, a' cosnadh an tuilleadh obair, 's iad a' leasachadh gu bhith reic biadh. Bha Coca-Cola cuideachd aig àrd ìre leis an deoch luachmhor aca air òl air feadh an t-saoghail gach mionaid dhen là. Ged a bha iad a' sanasachd timcheall an t-saoghail, cha robhas a-riamh a' cluinntinn mun chòmhstri a bh' eatorra. Tha am prògram seo ag innse sgeulachd Cogadh an Cola, a' tòiseachadh anns na bùithtean cungaidh ann an Ameireagaidh suas chun an là an-diugh, le gnìomhachas luach na billeanan.

Face to Face is a series of comparative portraits featuring two well-known figures, seen through the prism of their rivalry. The scale and scope of their contention went far beyond mere personal antagonism; the results of their confrontation have often changed society and deeply impacted our lives.

Pepsi v Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola v Pepsi: a duel between giants which has lasted for more than a century. Pepsi, the eternal challenger, becoming a food giant through acquisitions and diversification. Against it, the market leader, Coca-Cola and its legendary soda, consumed a billion times a day. Two giants, each worth over £20 billion, with more than a hundred thousand
employees. They inundate the world with their advertisements, but never talk about their endless conflict.

This programme tells the story of the Cola War from its infant days in American drug stores to its multibillion-pound industry in the modern world.
