I wouldn't have bet any Inkan gold on it, but the supposedly-conquered empire is actually alive and kicking up a commercial storm. Everything has an Inka link in Cusco. First, there is the acceptable. Inka tours, Inka museum, Inka jewellery. Then, there is the stretch. Apparently the most popular Peruvian drink is Inka Kola-- imagine bubble gum in bright yellow, liquid form. Of course, we all know the Inka emperor sipped soda on his throne... And then, the frankly hilarious:
"Inka Farma"-- the Inka pharmacy with traditional aspirin etc..
"Inka....fe". Ancient Nescafe available.
My top pick: "Inka laudromat." Enough said.
inca cola is my favorite
