Interesting! Yes apparently Nescafé’s history is closely tied to World War II! Re: modern day South America though I hear this stuff is quite prevalent:

Depends on what part of South America you are in.

If it is a coffee producing area you get the real stuff. So from Nicaragua to Peru you get brewed coffee from fresh beans. Usually made in a cone. And there is nothing better. In Mexico, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay it is a toss up. But they do have coffee bars. Well maybe not in Mexico but in Chile, Argentina and Uruguay they do.

Sadly in Chile they went from being just coffee bars to something else. Last time I was there I walked in and discovered I was the only fully dressed female in the place.

Walked right back out.
