Jello and Flavored Milk
Two things that Bolivians really seem to love (thankfully, not mixed together). Today, six out of 10 people at our office lunch table had jello for dessert. Not sure what the obsession with it is. Flavored milk is sold in small plastic packets, which people bring to work, drink on the bus or while walking on the street. Kids especially love that stuff. While attending community association meetings of Pro Mujer clients, I noticed that the flavored milk was often the women's way to keep their kids happy and quiet while they received training, made loan payments, etc..You simply bite off the corner of the plastic packet and drink (not very hygienic, but anyway). Too bad that I am not a big fan of either milk or jello.

In Fiji the popular sweet treat was colored popsicles that was really just flavored water frozen in little plastic tubes. People were always sucking on them, especially on the bus. When they finished, they simply threw the plastic out the window. It was sad to see that because they often littered on beautifully manicured lawns.
