Just putting my oar in here, and it's probably tangential.. but I don't
see these brands as quite the same examples. While some could argue that
Pepsi(r) is a knockoff, I don't think Pepsi historians would agree. And
the other two pairings are completely non knockoff... they're completely
independent brands, not intended as clones, that just happen to target
different market segments.
After all, you don't often see Timex packages labeled with "compatible
with the time kept by leading brands", or Bud cans labeled with
"compatible with the glasses that Guiness is served in".
