Tropical Fantasy is an inexpensive soft-drink, originally from Brooklyn, New York.
Tropical Fantasy was initially popular in inner city areas, especially those with dense African-American and Hispanic populations.
Attacks occurred on delivery trucks and storekeepers who stocked Tropical Fantasy.
By mid June 1991 the attacks had stopped and the sales had rebounded, but the dark rumors about Tropical Fantasy were not forgotten.
The company was once involved in a controversy with its soft-drink line "Tropical Fantasy" in the early 1990s.
Then someone points out to you that the popular beverage Tropical Fantasy is only being sold in black neighborhoods.

Talk of the inclusion of sterility-inducing ingredients targeting black men hobbled both Church's Fried Chicken (1989) and the soft drink Tropical Fantasy (early 1990s).
Last year, rumors that Tropical Fantasy caused sterility in black men torpedoed sales of the cola, made by the Brooklyn Bottling Company.
Corona and Tropical Fantasy lived to be consumed again, largely because the companies involved took the "you eat the bear or the bear eats you" approach.
