Inca Kola is the most popular fizzy drink in Peru. So much so that other drinks are changing their colour to trick people in to buying theirs instead. I should get a photo but it is a disgusting luminous yellow drink and your first sip is going to leave you gasping for water. Not because it's disgusting, but because it's so sweet that even a sweet tooth like mine will not save you from it.
Yet, give it a couple more tries, mostly because the occasional event only serves it and you are dying of thirst or you don't want to offend your host, and you will find a peculiar familiarity creeping over you. It will feel right to drink Inca Kola in Peru and you will watch yourself, with a certain laissez-faire, pouring yourself a second glass. Give it time and you might even start buying it and drinking it alone in your room!
