Three years ago I embarked on a Journey to Brazil where I participated on a Mission trip for my Church. While I was there I acquired a taste for their kind of Soda, a beverage called GUARANA. Since I had never seen this soft drink available in the US, many of us on this trip purchased as many bottles of this stuff we could fit in our suitcases. I said to myself "This stuff has potential, if the company that made it sold it here in the US they might give our brands of Soda (Coke and Pepsi) a run for the money!LOL I later got a tip there was a Brazilian Store in Orlando, Florida which sold a brand of this drink. For the next two years the only places that sold Guarana were specialty stores where there was a large population of Brazilians. Guess what folks? THIS IS ABOUT TO CHANGE! Yesterday I flew to Ohio to spend the memorial day weekend with my Sister and her Family. That evening we went out for Supper, afterwards we stopped at their local Grocery Store to get supplies for our memorial day party. Passing down one aisle I glanced to a side and what did my eyes behold? A rack FILLED with bottles and cans of ANTARCTICA GUARANA!Shocked To the best of my knowledge there is NO large population of Ethnic brazilians in Elyria, Ohio. The Store we were in (Giant Eagle) is the dominant local Grocery chane in Northern Ohio (As Publix is in Florida or Kroger is in Michigan) My only regrets is I have no way of getting in on the "action"!Cry
Poiuyt Power!!!

Nice. Now I don't have to spend money on the over-priced Bawls energy drink to get the Guarana flavor. (although, I don't regret buying it. Delicious!)
