      Ah! Well, that might explain it. I didn’t even realize it was a caffeinated drink, but my god, it still tastes terrible. 😂

        In Canada it didn’t use to be caffeinated (non-dark pops weren’t allowed to contain caffeine, but things labeled as an energy drink were). That law changed a few years ago. Maybe that’s why it wasn’t as popular here back then?

          That would make a lot of sense! If it was only popular because of the caffeine, and it didn’t have any, that would more than likely explain why I never really saw it in the 90s.

      I was a guarana antartica drinker in my teens. More expensive, but damn is that delicious. Great drink mixer too. If you ever get a chance to try making a guarana antartica mojito, holy shit.
