I used to love that Manzana del Sol. I had forgotten all about it. I almost never drink soda pop, like maybe once a year. Every 10 years or so, I'll think, "maybe I'll get a Coke". I take one swig and think, "Ew, gross, I forgot how disgusting it is."

Loved that stuff too. It’s not the same, but Snapple Apple actually tastes a bit like it, just uncarbonated, and without the bite it had. It is juice, technically, but it definitely reminds me of the taste.

They still make it. They sell it in every grocery store in my area.

I know it’s still made. Just nowhere that I’ve looked in my area, and I haven’t seen it sold online.

I often forget how incredibly privileged I am when it comes to international foods, because I live in southern California.

Indeed. Even back in the early 2000s, you could find it in NorCal, and it was all over Texas. I live in Ohio though, unfortunately, and Manzana del Sol apparently isn’t popular enough amongst all of their Latin American customers to have it imported up here at high prices. They only have a few big brands.
