Riya, have you lost your memory? We did Puma before. Puma was introduced in Guyana by Monsanto thru Banks DIH in 1968-69. You need to go back longer than that.
HINT: Guyana was a British colony.

* Ask your dad---I believe Puma came out in the 1970s---two colors or flavors---pink and yellowish.
* You ever had Puma and channa loaded up with geera over at Charlie's opposite Rama Krishna ?
* Actually by the time you started Rama Krishna---puma was out of production.

the best channa was available at Bettencourt's next door to Rama Krishna and Puma did not stop production late 1978

It was not just the channa---it was that sweet, delectable "salsa" like sauce that Ms Bettencourt made and put on top of that channa that made it awesome. You're right! Best channa I ever tasted.

Portello
Your grandpa told you that?
Well, your answer is correct.
Congrats!!
Portello trivia: I can't remember drinking Portello in the 1950s; I remember seeing a case of empty Portello bottles in my grandfather's home at that time.
Portello is still consumed in some countries, sometimes with the Fanta label.
Oh Anjali! Where are you? I need help with this one.
Hi Riya, sorry my dear I was out, left just after the first question/answer. Congrats on the correct answer
limewash
A good choice.
A piece of ice in limewash on a hot day, with salt biscuits, while cutting and mashing rice, was a welcome treat.
Lemonade was the first bottle soft drink in Berbice and still in production.
The lemonade truck would get stuck on muddy streets and after assisting to push it out, we would be rewarded with bottles of lemonade.
Christopher the baker, did the same with his bread van.

Lime wash was an everyday drink at lunch. It was so refreshing.
I remember a lemonade truck from the Correntyne that would deliver to Canje. I think the company was Jai Jairam and Sons from Rose Hall. They were down the street next to Anthony's Inn.

Heavy rainfall caused flooding in Georgetown and East Demerara over the weekend. So, our theme today is water-related.

I'm gonna piggy back on Django's answer cause I can't find much on the eastern boundary!
Next one.
How many months have passed since the Abary River became Demerara's eastern boundary?
* 2015 - 1662 = 353 years = 4236 months
* Actually that 1662 was when the "western boundary of the colony of Berbice" was established.
* Like riya I couldn't find the Eastern boundary date---Django believes it's 1671.

Rev
I found the year 1671 the Abary River became the
boundary due to some disagreement to establish a
trading post in Demarara river.
Follow me, folks.
Demerara's eastern boundary = Berbice's western boundary.
If Riya didn't learn geography, at least she should know geometry.
Django says 4128 months = 344 years = the year 1671.
Anjali says 4121 months = 343 years + 5 months = 1672.
Wikipedia says: "In 1672, under an arrangement between the Commander of Essequibo and the Secretary of the Government of Berbice, it was agreed that the Abary River would be the western boundary of the Colony of Berbice."
My history book says 1672.
I am giving Anjali first prize.
Django gets second prize.
Congrats!!
As I mentioned before, history books don't all agree on dates.
THE BEGINNING OF THE COLONY OF BERBICE
Meanwhile, the Berbice administration attempted to expand the size of the colony by establishing a trading post as far west as the Demerara River. At that time the Demerara area was unoccupied, but the West India Company objected to the presence of the trading post after claiming that the Demerara River fell under its jurisdiction. The trading post was then moved in 1671 to the Abary River which eventually became the boundary of Berbice and Demerara.

Okay Django, let's level. The trading post was set up in 1671.
The word "eventually" could not refer to 1671. In this instance, "eventually" was 1672 but Odeen Ishmael was too lazy to check.
I do need to stop being lazy and do my own math!

You back bhai,how was you trip???
Long ass bus ride, I wish I did drive it would have taken under six hours, the bus took 8hrs to get there and on the way back stoppped in North Bay for one hr making it a nine hr trip back.
It was for my daughter's grad she passed with honours from Northern College. While there, I saw a Navita Ramdas from Guyana who came up to get her papers, she apparently works in a mine in Guyana and did the course through correspondence, she took three awards,one was for student with the highest academic standing in the Mining Engineering Tech Program, another for higest mark in Field Mapping.
I never got a chance to speak with her, she disappeared right after the ceremonies.
Just thought I'd throw the name out there in case anyone knows her.
