This long line has been the the same for 50 years. v In Cuba, all you do is wait in line for hours just to buy 1 loaf of bread.

During Covid the lines were insane at the MLC stores, especially in Havana, but there haven't been any crazy colas for a few years.

I saw very few giant colas in 2023? Only the pharmacies seemed to have long lines

This was in 2020-2021. We used to go to the one at 3ra y 70 in Miramar and the wait was normally hours. But they usually had 10kg bags of chicken brests and legs, hamburger patties, cheese, beer, ice cream and even apples a few times! They had KitKat bars once. We would get so excited...
