When I visited family in El Salvador, I was surprised to find so many fruity Fanta variants. Coke itself tasted different too. I eventually realized it was because it had sugar, not corn syrup. There was a local brand called Tropical which was Coke-owned - lots of fruit flavors. The oddest thing was
Cola-Champan. I'm not sure why they call it champagne - the flavor is somewhere between vanilla and bubble-gum.
And when I recently visited the other half of the family in BoliviaI was shocked to discover that people routinely serve un-chilled gaseous beverages. With ice, granted, but still - who drinks room-temperature soda?
