Getting Your Swerve On

I can't take credit for finding this article, but I can post the picture up. This product is real. It's made by Coke, and yeah, it's milk. It comes in Blooo (blueberry), Chocolate, and Vanana (vanilla and banana). It will be sold exclusively in junior and senior high schools. Just bizarre, yo.

It's from a NY Times article on Coke's marketing ties to schools. Full text availble, here.

I'd kinda like to try the Vanana one. I'm always in the mood for some banana flavored milk. It reminds me of when I was a kid and we'd go to La Unica. It's a bit of a trip to go down to La Unica, so going there was always a BIG DEAL. We'd stock up on different Colombian foods when we were there, and yeah banana flavored milk is considered a Colombian food to me. Why? Because the only place I could find it growing up was La Unica. Hence, it was deemed Colombian in my mind. Sadly, La Unica has been sold to some Mexican guy in the past year, so it's no longer your one stop Colombian/Cuban shop.

Even the trademark Miranda sign out front has been replaced with a Tricolores sign. Not something most folks would notice, but, it's meaningful to me.
