Decent information, but needs wikification and style fixes. Hwonder talk contribs 01:25, 5 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Peacock prose edit

I feel that part of this article is using peacock terms, or has a promotional tone. I'd like to point out this specific section:

Ceballos; Micanquer; Perez; Lasso and Zambrano (2011) explain that, in Colombia, the Champús is a drink that comes from low- income families. They also explain that the champús gathers the energy of the corn, the sweetness of the sugar cane, the strength and the aroma of the cloves and the cinnamon as well as the secret touch from the orange leaves. Nowadays, it is a drink served all year long but the authors explained that this drink is made for Christmas celebrations and is also considered a dessert.

According to the authors above, they describe that this type of drink cures both thirst and hunger. It is a refreshing drink that at first might not look pleasant. There is a famous place in Cali where they sell this delicious drink, it is called “El Champús de Lola”. This establishment has run for almost 30 years and has passed to younger generations which had worked with the original recipe. Despite the existence of several venues that sell the same drink, customers consider that the best preparation of the champús come from the lower-income suburbs which are sold on the streets sometimes with the purpose of raising funds.

This drink goes well with lunch food and savoury snacks; it brings families together.

I'm not sure if these authors are even a reliable source, and whatever source this section is referring to isn't made clear, though I am also unsure if it should be completely removed. HelixxUnderscore (talk) 01:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
