these are the companies that are always
battling each other to make sure we buy
their products welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 business rivalries for
this list we’re focusing on two
companies that make similar products
that are constantly compared to one
another
I see copy BOTS autocorrect this number
10
energizer versus Duracell these two
companies power your TV remote Xbox
controller and so much more while
energizer has been around since the late
1800s
Duracell only burst onto the scene in
the mid 1960s this makes it all the more
surprising the Duracell has been able to
become a serious competitor to the
historic battery and personal care brand
in such a short time even if you side
with the Energizer Bunny you can expect
these two companies will remain in a
power struggle for the foreseeable
future
number nine Budweiser versus Miller as
far as beer companies go it’s hard to
think of more fierce competitors than
Miller and Budweiser when you start
caring put down your purse and I’ll give
you a miller leg even though you can’t
ignore Coors in the Battle of the brews
these are the two brands that are more
likely to pop into your head when you
think of a cold refreshing beer while it
isn’t surprising that the beer business
is as competitive as it is it’s a steady
stream of advertising keeping these two
brewing legends held high as two of
America’s highest selling beers anyone
in closing I’d like to think I see all
of us when I say below right I wouldn’t
be Ryan today
number eight Visa versus MasterCard
while these two companies don’t actually
issue credit cards they are the reason
we can use them considering both visa
and mastercards are accepted nearly
everywhere and both american
multinational financial services
corporations are successful it’s safe to
say these companies are what most people
use to make the majority of their
purchases really the only loser here is
old-fashioned cash and coin
number seven Hasbro versus Mattel as
these companies both make toys for kids
they’ve squared off for decades for the
hearts of your little ones they may not
directly reference or acknowledge each
other but their products often share
many uncanny similarities both Hasbro
and Mattel have made some very iconic
American toys so it’s hard to imagine
that either will be giving up their
stake and disappearing anytime soon be
the world’s best driver Hot Wheels car
number six board vs. GM as two of the
oldest companies that still make their
cars in America Ford and GM have been
constant competitors since the early
20th century perhaps the most surprising
thing about this American founded
rivalry is the GM was able to remain in
the competition
after they filed for bankruptcy in 2009
Vespa but no matter which car company
your allegiance lies with it’s evident
this rivalry is behind some of the
greatest American vehicles in history if
one looks eased you can see a similar
struggle between automotive Giants
Toyota and Honda introducing the all-new
Corolla
number five DC versus marble
they’re responsible for characters like
Superman Batman spider-man Iron Man and
so many more but since these two
companies have characters with many
similarities many fans tend to sign with
one or the other nothing wrong with the
elevator that makes this rivalry all the
more intense especially since Disney put
its weight behind one purchasing Marvel
while Time Warner owns DC no matter
where your loyalty lies
you can’t deny these two have played a
huge role in the film and comic book
industries for decades my attorney will
be in touch with you about the damage to
the door Otis take the gentleman skate
number four adidas versus Puma this
rivalry is proof that sibling rivalries
can result in much more than hurt
feelings these two world-renowned
athletic footwear and sportswear
corporations were originally one company
owned by two brothers tensions
eventually caused the company to split
into Adidas and Puma edging out the Nike
versus Reebok rivalry which is just as
intense today adidas is Europe’s largest
sportswear manufacturer while Puma holds
its own by sponsoring high-profile
athletes especially several notable
footballers
number three Microsoft versus Apple
Microsoft has had plenty of competitors
over the years including Sony and
Nintendo and gaming and Google online
but none has been as large as their
rivalry with Apple this struggle saw the
late Steve Jobs compete with Bill Gates
for dominance in home computing with the
latter prevailing until Apple’s eventual
supremacy thanks to their efforts in
mobile and tablets every day more photos
are taking with the iPhone than any
other camera it doesn’t take much to see
the differences between these companies
while Apple tends to focus on uniformity
quality branding and style Microsoft is
more focused on ubiquity whether you’re
a Mac or a PC fan these tech giants have
pushed innovation to new heights
is there enough with that Sarge karate
number two McDonald’s versus Burger King
fast-food rivalries come and go but none
is more iconic than the battle of the
burgers hold the pickle hold the lettuce
special orders Dona fetes all we ask is
that you let us serve it your way over
the years Burger King and McDonald’s
have been in an all-out battle for
control of the multi-billion dollar a
year fast food market trying to outdo
one another’s offerings and mascots now
watch me kids when I twist my reign like
magic after decades of competition
McDonald’s emerged on top and this has
introduced it to a whole new breed of
competitors two more before we reveal
the number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions
number one coke versus Pepsi was there
ever any doubt shockingly the similarity
between these two company’s products was
no accident as Pepsi was created to be a
direct alternative to coke despite all
of Pepsi’s marketing efforts over the
years coke has managed to become the
more successful company and to remain
the top American soda icon regardless of
which soft drink you prefer it’s hard to
imagine not being able to get a chilled
Coca Cola or a Pepsi in a nearby vending
machine
