I miss Guarana sodas, it has been almost 20 years, used to be my favorite when living in South America.
Are you in the US? Bawls is a Guarana soda sold here. Can’t find it locally very often (Meijer, sometimes) but you can order directly from their website.

Yes, the name is stupid; still my favorite soda.
Never had it, but considering the Wikipedia article says that it can have more than twice the caffeine of a coffee bean, it must keep you wide awake.
There was one in the US called Bawls that I drank a lot in the 90s. It was really good.
Edit: Turns out it still exists. https://www.bawls.com/
My favorite was Josta.
Fun fact: “josta” is a minced oath for shit in Brazil.
Josta was the best 🥺
Gods, that stuff gave me the worst case of explosive diarrhea I have ever had, seen, or heard of.
I really wish it would make a comeback. Josta was great!
Years ago I was really missing it and my wife found a Josta taste a like recipe. It was Bawls, Sobe Dragonfruit, and Pepsi.

If you have a SodaStream at home, could just mix a large batch and not worry about carbonation loss.
I remember being too turned off by the name to try it. It was very much of the X-TREME!!! era of marketing, which I really hated.
Maybe if I see it again, I'll try it. Thanks.
Your friendly neighborhood Micro Center often has it…
Oh shit I remember drinking bawls only cus it was a funny name and my friends and I kept saying "let's go grab some bawls"
Not so much. It was milder than Coke. I guess it was quite diluted. You can buy Guaraná Antarctica online in the U.S. if you’re curious.
Antarctica is good. Can't find it in stores around me, so I order a case every once in a while.
