Materva?

When I was living in South Florida (Boca Raton 90-94, Miami 99-02) I loved the fact that you could pick up Materva in any major supermarket (Publix or Winn Dixie, although Sedanos had better prices). To think that a Cuban entrepreneuer could find an Argentinean tea and decide to make soda out of it never ceased to amuse me.

There was a rumor going around Miami in late '99, btw, that Materva caused impotence.

Do you know what that Cuban pineapple soda is called? It's the best, but I think Ironbeer on a hot day beats Coca Cola hands down.

Man, now I'm hungry for Cuban food, and there is only one decent Cuban joint in all of Northern CA. Down in LA, I had lots to choose from, and they were all excellent.

Thanks for the post and the grumbling stomach, Luis. I really liked this thread.

¿A soda out of Yerba Maté? You've got to be kidding. Even Argentines have never stooped so low. Of course, there are the Brazilians.
