Spotted at the Feira de São Cristóvão, Jesus' own brand of Guaraná - so that was his secret! Guaraná is a perfumed, sweet fizzy drink made from the Guaraná plant, a natural stimulant which is indigenous to Brazil. The drink is hugely popular here, normally under the Antartica brand, but the Jesus brand is owned by soda Gods Coca Cola. Have a happy Sunday!

ReplyDeleteJust some pieces of info on Guaraná Jesus
ReplyDelete- It is a huge success in Maranhão state, where it's been created.
- Its name comes from the chemical engineer who developed it, not from the big bearded hippie guy from Palestine.
- It's only been bought by Coca-Cola because its enormous success was troubling Coke sales in Maranhão. Same thing happened to all 'tubaínas' -- cheap sodas -- in Brazil in the 90s.
- It may actually not contain any guaraná at all. It is pink and tastes like a watered-down Red Bull (or even worse).
