This is Guaraná Antarctica and as the name would suggest, it has guarana in it. It's relatively sweet and the taste of guarana is relatively mild, this reminds me more of 7up.

Somewhere in the late 90s local soda brand Frisco had guarana in their lineup as well, but that tasted rank. I however quickly learned it had very high caffeine content and downing a 1.5l bottle gave a nice sugar+caffeine high. Those were soon pulled as the actual energy drinks surfaced and they realised they could put a huge markup on the stuff.

But yeah, this was surprisingly okay for guarana, although not really anything to write home about. But apparently enough to rant on the Fediverse. 🤷
