Guaraná Antarctica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guaraná Antarctica is the most popular guaraná-flavored soft drink in Brazil, created in 1921 by Companhia Antarctica Paulista, now part of Ambev. The drink is also available in Portugal (competing with Guaraná Brasil brand), Spain and Honduras.
It is the official sponsor of the Brazilian national football team. One of its 2006 commercials featured Argentine football player Diego Maradona finding himself wearing the yellow jersey of the Brazilian team and singing the Brazilian national anthem before waking up and proclaiming it was a nightmare. This caused considerable controversy in Argentina.
Antarctica Guarana has a caffeine content equivalent to, or more than, most energy drinks. The guarana berry has two to three times as much caffeine stored in it than the coffee bean (percentage wise).
The drink has made inroads in the U.S. as a result of the energy drink craze. You can find 6-packs being sold in most major cities, though it can be difficult to find. The taste is mild, slightly apple-like, with a distinct berry after-flavor. Several websites sell Antarctica products to the U.S. Antarctica brand guarana is by far the most popular form of the drink.
