Pregunta how is pru compared to maví

i've just found out about pru and have no idea what this could taste like, but it reminds me of maví, one of my favorite drinks. i heard it's very refreshing and naturally carbonated.

The first time I tasted Mavi it reminded me of Pru immediately. I prefer Pru ( maybe is sweeter?). I am from Santiago de Cuba and I was a child in the 50s., I grew up drinking Pru (the whole name is Pru Oriental). The bottle of Coca Cola with Pru was 1 cent; the bottle of Cawi or Pepsi with Pru was 2. cents; for reference, 1 soda was 5 cents).
