OTC Buying Behavior(To substantiate that ‘Sugar Free’ has become synonymous to artificial sweeteners)

Stage 1 People ask for ‘Sugar Free’ irrelevant of which brand they really want to

buy. It could be equal, splenda, sugarfree gold, etc

Stage 2If the retailer does not pull out the preferred brand, only then will the

people name and ask for ‘their preferred brand of product
