This is propaganda because
This advertisement directly targets Coca-Cola by using one of its most recognizable advertising symbols — the polar bear mascot. The campaign suggests that even Coca-Cola’s own mascot prefers Pepsi, which makes Coca-Cola appear weaker and less desirable. Instead of focusing only on Pepsi’s qualities, the advertisement compares itself to its most powerful competitor in order to influence audience opinion and make Pepsi look superior.
