More than you ever wanted to know here. I think it's most popular in North America, although less so than it once was. As a kid in Canada I consumed a fair amount of it. As an adult (although some may disagree) I can't stand it.

It does not taste like Irn Bru, although my recollection of Irn Bru is a little foggy, since I've tasted it only once.

I don't need to be right; I just don't want to be wrong.

Mountain dew had a hillbilly inspired ad campaign and super high levels of caffeine (also sugar, of course). It was probably a precursor to the white trash meth epidemic.

Doritos Nacho cheese chips are finding their way into Brazil. I have noticed alot more fat Brazilians than in the good old days. Potato chips, cheese puffs and every other type of garbage food is showing up in Brazil.

At least what is sold as ketchup is getting better yet you still find some ketchup made without tomatoes. Stange pink color yuck!!! What is this crap in the bottle at the restaurant? Some places ad water to save money sure ruins the fries.

Really expensive are ruffles.

I'm actually OK with the high price of crap foods and soft drinks. It makes you buy better, much healthier options.

Indeed. We have gotten pretty good at making the things that we really want, too.
