Lágrimas de Cocodrilo pulls its whole identity from a Costa Rican slang phrase and feels like a breath of local air.

Gitanos took that idea of a crocodile crying fake tears and turned it into a cartoon character, a green reptile drawn in a loose, comic style with exaggerated limbs and a dramatic pose. The color palette leans into ripe mango tones, warm gold, sun-baked yellow, and hits of red, all of which fit a Mango Sour perfectly. The brand builds its whole story from something hyper-local, a saying people actually use in daily conversation, proving that inspiration can easily come from the phrases and humor already living in a country’s own culture.
