Juan Valdez and his mule Conchita!

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

[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.

Colombian would make it an American thing; Colombia being in South America and all.

The District of Columbia is in South America? That explains a lot.

exactly. I'd have said American if I just meant USA (even with my appaling typing record, s is nowhere near n on the keyboard, so that would have been quite a typo). I'm thinking the as's's' ( ) name may be SPUCK.

NO NO No no no no No NO! It is an international marketing slogan for any pure CO LUM B ian coffee. It is not an AmericaN thing nor even an AmericaS thing.

Not unless you're going to say Nike or Adidas is just an AmericaN thing.

C'mon now, Spuck's right.... for once.

The National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, owns Juan's ass, and his donkey too.
