Juan Valdez and his mule Conchita!

Everyone knows this.. It's a Columbian thing not an Americas thing.

Quote:
[Wikipedia] In a comic strip published on January 2, 2009, one character wonders if the Colombian crime syndicate puts parts of the body of Juan Valdez in each can of coffee.[1] [2] The comic strip refers to an advertising slogan of Colombian coffee that there's a little bit of Juan Valdez in every can of Colombia coffee.[2] In response to the comic strip, the Colombian Coffee-growers Federation plans to sue artist Mike Peters for linking Colombian coffee to human rights abuse.[3] The Colombian Coffee-growers Federation will seek at least $20,000,000 "for damage and harm, detriment to intellectual property and defamation" as well as a retraction from all newspapers that published the comic strip that day.
