Brands used to (and sometimes still do) attack each other in ads, or at least do something like "in a blind taste test" to demonstrate they were superior. Perhaps newer research has shown this to be ineffective, so it might be less common now. (Just last month Intel was doing Intel PC vs Mac ads, and Microsoft has been doing PC vs Mac ads lately.)
