LIQUID BAZOOKA:

Peru's Pop Star (Renee Schettler, October 2, 2002, The Washington Post)

Take a sip of Inca Kola and one flavor will instantly spring to mind.

Peru's preeminent soda pop tastes unmistakably, surprisingly, resoundingly -- and at first perhaps disconcertingly -- of bubble gum.

But those who drink it regularly are lured by its sweet, fruity flavor. The bright yellow elixir has cast its spell on South American palates since it was first introduced in 1935 and it remains Peru's top-selling cola, outselling even Coke.

Sounds vile. Posted by Orrin Judd at October 5, 2002 8:33 AM
