Who are the Fanta Naranja characters

BMG - 2-14-2008 at 01:59 PM

Was recently drinking a can of soda at La Fonda Restaurant in La Paz (good place to eat) when I got to looking at the images on the can. Are they characters from a cartoon program? A video game? Or what???

The whistle head cop(?) with an anchor tattoo, is he making sure people follow the "don't" signs posted next to him? Is he carrying something in his left hand?

The blond with the weird glasses and a seahorse tattoo, snappy dresser!

Somebody has waaaaaaay too much time on their hands. Wish I did too.

Who is going to blow the whistle on them? Neat unbalanced glasses. May be what I need for my unbalanced life.

It was either study and photograph the can or converse with my wife during dinner.

(I'm in trouble now.)

I suspect that we need to ask a kid. :light:

While strolling along at the Carnaval tonight I bought another Fanta. I asked a kid about the character but he didn't know who it was. Same snappy dresser on this can but no other characters.

I'm afraid to think what the Tecate characters would look like.

Never did get an answer to my original question.:?:

My bubble has been burst.:(

I thought all questions could be answered here on Baja nomads.:no:

They can be.....EVENTUALLY!!!! I bet if you took up Upholstery 101; Matching Wing Chairs, you'd eventually find the answers your looking for!

I'd be concerned about drinking something that has a character on the outside which depicts pouring the product inside onto the ground rather than drinking it! Not a high product endorsement!!

However, my more immediate concern is....You take your wife to dinner at places they serve the beverages in cans???:O:no::no::no::lol:

Nothing but the best for my better half!

Will have an update on the upholstery later this week - hopefully.

Whew, glad to hear that. Now I can finally get some sleep tonight.

Kate, you're obviously more into cartoon characters than I am.....still looks like she's pouring it out....TWO bottles at a time! It didn't take me nearly as long to understand why Mrs. BMG doesn't speak to Mr. BMG during dinner at those fine dining establishments he takes her to though!:(:(:(

And the other answer is: NO & DON'T ASK!

Finally took Ana to an upscale place that didn't serve the beverage in a CAN. May have provided an additional lead on the Fanta characters on the BOTTLE.

Hey, give us some time to think about it! Yesterday I saw another version of the snazzy dresser on a can at Ley's. Didn't buy it because I was walking and already carrying too much heavy stuff, but rest assured that I'm on the case.

I've been worried about you sitting up until the wee hours of the morning pondering this.

I see I need to have a talk with Ana in person to set her straight on a few things: #1. That's WOOL you've pulled over her eyes. #2. Fine wine does NOT get brought to your table in PLASTIC bottles!:no::no: #3. Nor have I ever tasted a Naranja flavored wine:no:....but then I DO lead a kinda sheltered life.:lol:
