Our love of soft drinks is about to be tested
Venezuelans love soft drinks. They really do.
I must admit, I love them too. Even if is not the healthiest thing, people here spend more on carbonated drinks than on fresh fruit.
Well, that could change sooner than we think.
The petrochemical branch of the PDVSA roja, rojita is not producing enough carbon dioxide, key ingredient to make soft drinks.
So, there’s a chance that this Christmas could be soda-free, unless a solution is found. This holiday season could be a very different one.
