History
In 1977, India was left with a large void in the ‘cold drinks’ or carbonated drinks
segment. American giant Coca Cola had just left the market over the Janata Party
government’s insistence that the company reveal its recipe and comply with the
Foreign Exchange Regulation Act. Soon after, a cohort of made-in-India beverages
jumped in to capture the market space –but it was McDowell’s cola brand Thril that
won the market for a while with its catchy punchline: “Hum, tum aur Thril gaye mera
dil”.
Jostling for a Thril
Thril was introduced in 1983 and soon after the company launched two other
flavours – a clear lime-based beverage Sprint and the orange-flavoured Rush. Thril
was fighting a tough competition with Parle’s ThumsUp, Limca and Gold Spot and
Delhi-based Pure Drink’s Campa Cola and Campa Orange.
Surviving the competition
In the 1980s, the competition in the soft drink industry became so intense so that the
beverage makers adopted aggressive advertisement and promotional strategies.
While some soft drinks promised a free Maruti Deluxe Car, others offered tickets to
the Olympic games, colour televisions and video games, according to a report.
How the brand died
A paper by Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore in 1996, on ‘Brand Failures-
Concepts and Causes’ used ‘Thril’ as a case study. According to it, the brand failed
due to wrong positioning as the product was positioned as a “space-age drink”, which
indicates a technologically advanced and a modern drink, but it was promoted only
based on the glamour-factor of celebrities endorsing it. “The brand did not survive at
a time even when the cola market was in its growth phase,” it noted.
