The local Cocoa Cola labels say "sugar" with no mention of source but it's so easy for the consumer to assume it's cane sugar. If it's not specifically labelled don't be fooled by it. As you know "sugar" in food manufacturing labels can mean a lot of things like maltodextrin, brown rice syrup, dextrose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup and no mention of the source. Plus they now started using sucralose more than sugar in the formula. But that's Coca Cola.
Pepsi is imported (likely from USA made with corn fructose) and merely distributed here.
Pepsi-Cola Trinidad Bottling Co Ltd which was sold to Caribbean Distribution Partners Ltd. PCT is the licensee and distributor in T&T of the PepsiCo range of beverages–Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7UP and Ocean Spray–also distributes Peardrax and Cydrax under license. Whiteway's Peardrax was made local by Pepsi-Co Trinidad before it was sold. Then Peardrax and Cydrax was made by Samba Brewing Company in El Socorro and do contain cane sugar, and is labeled as such. You see a manufacturer will not miss an opportunity to advertise this.
Is Samba Brewery still operating today? If not I wonder who is manufacturing the Peardrax?
edit: In 2020 it was awarded to Caribbean Development Company Limited aka Ansa Mcal Carib Brewery.
Another cane sugar drink. See they advertise it.
I had it in 2020 when it came back on the market but it didn't taste as good as it used to be back in the late 90s/early 00s. There is also a coconut filling one as well.gastly369 wrote:Pricemart has.. All those other "imitation" crap can't compareK74T wrote:

$5 burger was still a thing after I left UWI and that's 2003.
Food inflation really was a 2005 and onwards kinna thing.
