Reminds me of how for a while Peru was one of two countries where something owned by Coca-Cola wan't the most popular soft drink, instead it was Inca Kola; that ended with partial buyout of the local producer.

(The other was Scotland with Barr's Irn Bru, now a casualty in the War On Sugar)

Iron Bru and Inca Cola whilst being orange and yellow respectively actually tasted pretty much the same.

Fascinating history. It's one of my favourite drinks that I pick up from my local bodega. My other favourite is Jupina.
