Sep 28th, 2012 - 12:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0mmm, Chilean cherries are awesome! I'll never forget buying the liters of pure bing cherry juice cheap in Chile, AWESOME! Still miss it. You can't really find a proper competitor anywhere I don't think, nowhere else in the Americas have I found pure bing cherry juice, only “tart cherry juice” and some other cherry juice, both of which are very inferior. Please start exporting this juice to USA by the mega tanker full, Chile, we need it!

The cherries yes......but pure cherry JUICE, specifically bing cherry, much harder to find, and Chile's prices were incredible. A liter of pure bing cherry juice of the highest quality, without any preservatives, was like 3 bucks and change, impossible to find that anywhere........SPECIALLY not in inflation capital of the world Argentina, where everything is more expensive than USA even, absurd prices and truly an absurd nation.
