Summary
The stimulus discusses the importance of packaging for a product's commercial success. It gives an example of a popular drink that introduced a "new, improved" version. It succeeded in blind taste tests but failed in the market because the packaging was almost identical to the earlier version. This led customers to expect the new product to share certain features of the old, an expectation that was not satisfied.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Commercial success depends on the packaging of a product (necessary condition).
If the packaging of a product creates expectations it does not meet, it will not succeed.
