BAMBOOCHA is also known as Fanta
Fanta is a soft drink brand owned by The Coca-Cola Company. It is produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company's bottlers.
Fanta was invented during World War II in Germany by the German Coca Cola (GmbH) bottling company. Due to restrictions on shipping between Germany and the United States during hostilities, the German bottling plant could no longer get Coca Cola syrup. The CEO of the plant, Max Keith, needed to do something to keep the plant in operation and came up with a fruit flavored drink made from whatever he could find. Using apple fiber left over from cider presses and whey, a byproduct from cheese manufacture, Fanta was created and became quite popular.
The name 'Fanta' came during an employee contest to christen the new beverage. Keith told them to let their Fantasie (German for fantasy) run wild. On hearing that, salesman Joe Knipp came up with "Fanta".
After World War II, Fanta was introduced to the United States by Coca-Cola, and in 1960 they bought the trademark. Fanta Orange is the most popular Fanta flavor, available in 180 countries. In terms of volume, Brazil is the largest consumer of Fanta in the world. Fanta remains more popular in Europe than in the United States.

interesting. it's part of hawaii slang. it means big or huge. most likely, it doesn't have it's roots in the polynesian language, but portugeuse, the other major contributor to hawaii pidgin.
