Bilz and Pap, sigh... Oh, yes, it's all so very virtuous to decry the influence of American fast food chains on your children's waistlines, but then you bottle Bilz and Pap locally and give it to them from infancy on as if it were really fruit juice... At one point when I was living in Chile I read that it led the world in per capita consumption of carbonated beverages. Coke, mostly. Never saw people drink so much Coke before.

Orange Fanta is big in Chile for mixing with beer on hot summer days--I forget the name of this concoction. Anyone remember? Apparently to the dismay of serious wine lovers in Chile, mixing orange Fanta with Champagne is a thing there too, or so I've read, but in 10 years living there, I never saw anyone do that. I suppose it's not too far from a mimosa.

I once got drawn into a conversation with some Chileans who wanted me to confirm or deny definitively that there was a blue version of said soft drink available in the US. Took me a little while to figure out they were talking about grape Fanta.
