Yes, I remember it. I grew up on it. It tated better than Nestle's Chocolate mix, and better than any chocolate powder drink on the market. It was brought here from Cuba and sold primarily to the various Spanish speaking communities of the time which were Cuban and Puerto Rican. It came in a small red can and was reasonably priced. Perhaps because it was beginning to gain a following outside of the Spanish speaking communities throughout the US, one of its competitors - I believe it was Nestle's - bought it out, changed the ingredients to their standard ingredients included in their Quick chocolate mix, and sold it on the market for a short period under the same name of Cresto. But, because Cresto no longer had the unique and delicious flavor it once had, but was a sugared up version of Quick, it lost the following it once had and Nestle's pulled it off the market. The biggest mistake was for Nestle's to have changed the flavor of Cresto to a sugared up version of Quick. Cresto had a unique flavor superior to Quick and Milo, and all other powdered chocolate drinks, including the Venezuelan Todi, which now sells in southern Florida, and is also superior to Quick and Milo.
