here's my review of the best carbonated banana-flavored soft drink i've ever had. also the only carbonated banana-flavored soft drink i've ever had, so the competition wasn't very fierce. there's reportedly a coconut flavor by the same company (who is supposed to have a website, but there's nobody home). something to look for on my next grocery store trip.

a very short story about the first time i bought some bana-nina tropical (yes, there's been more than one time):

as i was checking out, the person in front of me asked what it was, and i replied “i really have no idea. it just looked interesting.”

she said, “you shop like i do! that's why i'm not allowed to do the shopping any more!”

“you moron, you're standing in the checkout line of a grocery store with a bunch of groceries,” i replied.

okay, i didn't really say that last bit. but i thought it really loud.

oh, my mistake. the coconut beverage is made by goya (who do not have a banana soda). they also make a pretty good malt- malta goya- but, not as good as malta hatuey (shameless self-link)

Where on earth did you find this in a store? I loved this drink and had it everyday down in Honduras, but can't find it anywhere in the states.

galco’s used to carry it, but they say they are now out of stock.
