this is why americans have such strong opinions on coke or pepsi. be the same every single time. that is why the 1985 new coke fee yas co-is city a study in business school. sth time they have got twitter and facebook and all the other things they can use to bash the company. it's a huge risk. >> in this particular case, they are behind. coke is the number one soda. diet coke is number two. it beats out pepsi, diet pepsi and all the variations. maybe they have got more to gain. >> one of the reasons pepsi is in such huge trouble is because they keep fiddling and making changes. they have had 20 senior managers leave since 2008. there have been unpopular redesigns. they keep fiddling with the deck chairs on the titanic. they need to get back to their core outlook. it's not redesigns and fiddling with the sweetener. >> i imagine you see value in this, but where is the growth going to come from? >> let me finish up, though. >> they are trying to maintain the taste. i think maybe we're arguing where there is no argument. >> let me finish. >> you asked m

who has the brighter term prospect, coke or pepsi in your view? mmending both companies, we have more upset side to target price with pepsi right now versus coke but like both names. i don't think investors will necessarily react to fourth quarter numbers, it will be more about their outlook for this year, so, what the company talks about with respect to commodity prices, fx rate volatility and how they will manage those potential pressures, i think greater concern as we think about this year. >> there you are, fundamentals and technicals on coke and pep circumstance not that anybody asks but we thought that pepsi had the better commercials yesterday. coke's were charm bug polar bears during the super bowl doesn't make a lot of sense. lauren, carter, thank you both for joining us. maria? >>> bill, next, our next guest says financials could lead the market to double-digit gains this year, the bullish call next. >>> speaking of financeal, citigroup's largest individual shareholder is with me today, prince alwaleed bin talal, whether he plans to incre

they're actually warning us to use them with caution, like coke or pepsi telling you to drink a littley saying you agree. you found yourself at one point even loving being in blackout, right? because you could not use all the things you had become addicted to. why do you think they're telling us to step away from the gadgets? >> well, look, everything in motte railings, right? these devices are with us all the time. the reason there are so many apps is because developers know we'll always be with our phone, which means we'll always use them. we've been sensory overloaded for a long time. there's a lot of stress involved and a lot of sort of disconnect with the world, so yeah, you need to take a break every once in a while. just common sense. >> why is it so heart to do? >> well, look, ask yourself, how much time do you spend -- idle time do you spend looking at that thing? >> honestly i could barely spare the three minutes for this interview? i'm so involved. i was using it when i watch tv. the only times i am completely disconnected is when i'm sleeping or driving. now cars are becomi

and ed in maryland writes, "in a race to determine if the country is going to be led by coke or pepsip determine bottles or cans." if you want to read more on the subject, go to the blog, cnn.com/caffertyfile or through our post on "the situation room's" facebook page. wolf? >> you know, the pressure is really on, i think, especially the vice president right now, jack. given what happened at the first presidential debate, biden really has to come out swinging. he has to do well. and i know paul ryan. he's a very smart guy. >> you know, it's going to be interesting. and one of the challenges biden's got is not to come on so strong that it immediately becomes obvious to the audience that he's trying to compensate for a weak performance by president obama. he's got to walk a thin line there, he's got to be aggressive, he's got to be smart, but he can't be over the top, because people will pick that up right away. >> and when you've studied biden over the years, i remember four years ago when i was moderating democratic presidential debates, he was in one of those first debates i moderate

thankfully they're not buying any chicken, coke, or pepsi, so there's a little bit of an offset right well said. and that's why some are on your buy left, is that correct? >> these correct. >> you like kroger, conagra, smuckers, walk me through some of this themes that are running through those names. >> sure. as far as football season goes, it's really about getting into the fall and winter and, you know, key holiday shopping season that, you know, tends to be key execution time for the grocer. you know, food retailing. walmart, target, offering consumers a lot of value. krogers competed well. they just raised their dividend 30%. we like that. as far as the food manufacturers, we really like the inextendive ones and the ones that are focused at home in low risk businesses that are offering a lot of val crew to consumers. i think conagra is the best example of that. >> bill, can i take you back to the discussion about coke and pepsi? a lot has been made of their failure to invest and promote the pepsi brand for soda within the united states. how relevant now is the home market for inv

to it, i was thinking of the super bowl ad, pepsi ad where they show the coke distributor trying to sneak a pepsi in the store and all of the cans come down, or this year's it rati year's, the pepsi guy won a coke contest. is there an unwritten rule that there has to be humor if you are going to go negative? >> well, i think your point about the long-term branding is really important. negative as verve tizing can just bring down their negatives and that's fine and that's why we see the trend for negative political advertising to go to the third party groups, not attributed, not to the campaigners. for us, when we have a brand, we want a brand to stay likable. it's very rarely a buy their choice. we talk about coke versus pepsi but i'm just as likely to buy orange juice. and it's not a forced choice that an election is. because of that, we have a different need to keep you liking the brand and keep you liking the ad. i think humor is one of the tools that we use to get some bite. usually it is satire. gets the message across. it keeps the brand likable. you don't want it to blow back on you. we talked a lot about blow-back in the earlier panel

this were a 24 ounce can, this is the particular drink, that would be equal to about seven cokes or just as many pepsi> at a time. in this particular case what we know about this girl, she took one one evening, one night and within a 24-hour period, took another one. that's the concern. caffeine doesn't hang around your body that long but several things in the energy drinks that cause concern. >> your medical opinion, 24 hours. they were spaced far enough apart, do you think that would have been enough to kill her? >> i think in this situation, it's hard to know. in this situation, even just one of these cans, keep in mind, again, is seven cokes, as many pepsis. you have these substances, these supplements that can be caffeine-like. they're not caffeine, but they can behave like caffeine. so, could they possibly be all acting together? >> we know there have been five deaths total, but the fda never warned the public. why is that? >> before an official warning like that, you have to draw some cause and effect. that hasn't been determined yet. this is an ongoing lawsuit and people can report adverse eve

cans, the two 24-ounce cans that she drank, one day apart, that's as much caffeine as in 14 cokes or 13 pepsise are other stimulants in these energy drinks as well. so it is not just the caffeine, you have all sorts of other things that would be stimulating and possibly harmful to a heart, especially if that heart is not already working as it should be. according to the food and drug administration, there have been five deaths of people who drank these monster drinks and one person had a heart attack and didn't die. now what is interesting is that the fda never made that information public. it only has come out as part of this lawsuit. we asked the fda why didn't you tell people about this, they said because there is no established link between the drinks and the deaths. it may just be a total coincidence and that's why they didn't reach out to the public. certainly cardiologists we talked to said if you've got one of these heart conditions, you do need to be careful about how much caffeine you get, and these drinks have a lot of caffeine, likely way more than many people would think. brooke?

going to -- he wanted to ban the sale of any sugary drinks, any sweetened tea or regular coke or coca-cola or pepsir, dr. pepper, anything bigger than 16 ounces in new york city. yesterday, it was voted on by the city council. and the city council went along with mayor bloomberg so that's it. big gulps banned in new york city. from now on. michael bloomberg yesterday said we have found the enemy! >> sugary drink consumption is the driver of the obesity epidemic in our city and across the united states. and reducing the amount of sugary drinks that we consume is the simplest diet change that we can make to help lose weight or to maintain a healthy weight. >> bill: michael bloomberg said this is it. we get rid of the drinks, we'll all be healthier. he also said people will live longer. >> this is a single biggest step any city has ever taken to curb obesity. certainly not the last step that lots of cities are going to take. and we believe that it will help save lives. >> bill: save lives make people healthier. michael bloomberg says and besides, we don't want these big 32 ounce drinks because they're

or say. they see this train coming down the tracks at them, and that's why they're trying to get people to move over to coke zero or diet coke or diet pepsi paper today about how children will not live as long as their parents. children who are obese. >> yeah. i mean, he has really, i think, sparked a national debate about this issue by taking a very controversial stand in new york, pushing through this new regulation saying restaurants can't serve any drink larger than 16 ounces. there's been opposition across the board. "the times" polling showed basically every demographic group doesn't like this idea. he's been mocked for it. both at home and internationally. but he's standing his ground. he said they said the same thing about me when i banned cigarettes. this is an important issue. we've tried to tackle it all sorts of ways. and you've got to lead from in front. >> mike barnicle. >> you know, jim, that leads to one of the more interesting aspects of the interview with bloomberg in which he talks about job approval ratings. if he leaves office with a job approval rating, he says it proves he's not doing his job. >> yeah, mike. and you
