tropical fantasy

A cheap drink, often found in bodegas and other small delis in the "hood". Contains no natural ingredients. An alternative to grape juice, tropical fantasy has close to many flavors.

Wikipedia:
"Tropical Fantasy is an inexpensive soft-drink, originally from Brooklyn, New York. Its low price of 50¢ per 20-ounce bottle led to its success in the 1990s. Tropical Fantasy was initially popular in inner city areas, especially those with dense African-American and Hispanic populations.

In April 1991 rumors began circulating in black neighborhoods that the beverage was laced with a secret ingredient that would sterilize black men. The rumors claimed that the Ku Klux Klan was actually bottling the product and using the low price to attract poor blacks. Later that year the rumor spread rapidly and provoked violence in many city neighborhoods. Attacks occurred on delivery trucks and storekeepers who stocked Tropical Fantasy.

Due to these rumors and rising suspicions, sales of the beverage plummeted by 70%.

Brooklyn Bottling employees were sent into affected areas to distribute 'truth flyers' in attempt to dispel the rumor. Eventually, the New York City Health Department declared the soda safe. In a final attempt to save Tropical Fantasy's tainted reputation, NYC mayor David Dinkins, who was also African American, drank a bottle of Tropical Fantasy on television and attested to its safety. Eventually, sales of Tropical Fantasy began to pick up, and the story of sperm-killing comestibles began to latch on to other local products."

Tropical Cyclone

A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.
In the Northern Atlantic Ocean, a distinct hurricane season occurs from June 1 to November 30, sharply peaking from late August through September. The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10. The Northeast Pacific Ocean has a broader period of activity, but in a similar time frame to the Atlantic. The Northwest Pacific sees tropical cyclones year-round, with a minimum in February and March and a peak in early September. In the North Indian basin, storms are most common from April to December, with peaks in May and November.

In the Southern Hemisphere, tropical cyclone activity begins in late October and ends in May. Southern Hemisphere activity peaks in mid-February to early March.
