without any connection to the manufacturer and seem not to have a commercial interest in the product. The temperance drink website says that it is affiliated with a museum. These are not world-class academic sources, but they are acceptable sources for what they are communicating. I dispute the nominator's characterization of these sites as blogs, although the cawny website cited seems to be the drink manufacturer's homepage. There are two passable sources.
400:- Saying "this is only important in Miami" is quite wrong; it's a highly-smuggled product into Cuba; i.e., it has high cultural significance to an entire country. (And Googling for extensive coverage of a pre-war product in a different language is not a very good test for notability.) Admittedly not a high-quality article at present, but it should be improved/retained, not deleted. -
715:
FYI, I've substantially revised the article. It now has more than a dozen citations, including two cites describing this as a standard Cuban drink, and two (one in
Spanish) noting the role of the drink in nostalgia for Cuban-Americans. I think those four in particular support the significance of the

for mass-market products in Cuba, and the claims made in the article meet my expectations for what a product article should claim. The "3guys" site and the temperance drinks site purport to present knowledgeable perspectives on Cuban cuisine. Both of them purport to be doing product presentations
535:, it is described as "a soft drink that would vaguely remind American palates of cream soda". The product is mentioned frequently in Cuban-American novels and memoirs. I have searched only for English language sources and am certain that much more coverage exists in Spanish.

If this page is deleted, and the distributors get rid of the Flash application that they use so that search index tools can find them, they would be the place to find information on the product. Knowledge (XXG) shouldn't be used as a marketing tool.

At present it is of purely local (Miamai) interest, and not much of that. Fails basic notability. It is possible (unlikely) that its pre-1960 history in Cuba could provide adequate notability, but there are no sources.

It is a famous Cuban drink. I'm dying to rescue the article for deletion but Google News archives simply disappeared, thus the lack of Google hits in news (for now). I'll look for some
Spanish sources.

I still don't understand your comment, though I've tried. By "menu", were you referring to the list of ingredients in Cuban cuisine? Let's agree to disagree.
