Not our name, but our passion
My first car was a hand me down from my mother a 1975 brown Ford Maverick\. It was the car I learned to drive in and the one that I drove to university. When Alex and Rita were in Brazil they spotted this Maverick not knowing my history with the car make. The car was manufactured from 1970 to 1977 in the US and was launched in 1973 in Brazil.
These Fandangos snacks from Brazil are crunchy corn chips. The chips are made by Elma Chips, a Brazilian representative of Frito-Lay. It is a very popular snack chip in Brazil and also come in several other flavors.
Crunchy and shell shaped with a nice corn taste. Alex and I both liked them a lot.

Bananada Cremosa is a sweet banana flavored candy that is quite popular in Brazil. The chewy banana candy is coated in a milk chocolate layer.
Alex enjoyed the candy during his recent trip to Brazil and was glad to revisit it here.

Alex loves chocolate milk so we picked up this product from Brazil to give it a try. Toddynho is a traditional line of chocolate products manufactured by pepsico. It was launched in 1982 under the Quaker Oats brand and ownership, with children as its target audience. The chocolate milk drink is its best known product and is distributed in 200 ml packages.
Really quite awful, think the worst school chocolate drink you can imagine
