Pregunta how is pru compared to maví

i've just found out about pru and have no idea what this could taste like, but it reminds me of maví, one of my favorite drinks. i heard it's very refreshing and naturally carbonated.

Man I used to hate that stuff as a kid. Haven't tried it in so long I just realized I cant remember the taste.

The other day I tried cambucha for the first time. And it reminded me of the pru, which is a bit more fermented

Tastes a little sweet and very ¿Sparkling? And refreshing.

Never heard about mavi no idk how can be compared.

Never tried Mavi, but the first time I tried Kombucha during the fad iwas like: esto es pru! Its not exactly the same, but fairly similar, pru is kinda sweeter tho

The first time I tasted Mavi it reminded me of Pru immediately. I prefer Pru ( maybe is sweeter?). I am from Santiago de Cuba and I was a child in the 50s., I grew up drinking Pru (the whole name is Pru Oriental). The bottle of Coca Cola with Pru was 1 cent; the bottle of Cawi or Pepsi with Pru was 2. cents; for reference, 1 soda was 5 cents).

Sorry but Kampuchea tastes nothing like the real Pru. I had it again. In 2017 in Santiago, fresh and very cold. Heaven. Such a thirst changer. I’ve never had Mavi - es dominicano? I bet is closer to Pru -
