metrognomeParticipantsomeone mentioned in a thread a few days ago that they had trouble finding Mexican Coca Cola (with sugar instead of HFCS). When I was at the MJ Thriftway tonite, I noticed that they carry it in cases (odd size; I think there are 16 bottles) and have singles chilled in the refrigerator cases on the north side of the building. I asked one of the staff and he said they usually have it and to ask if you don’t see it. The cases I saw were at the end of an aisle, near the dairy products, not in the pop aisle.

GinaParticipantI have seen Mexican Coca Cola at Admiral Bartell’s. Mexican Orange Fanta, too!

dawsonctParticipantIt’s cheapest by the case at Costco (even cheaper than Restaurant Depot).

DBurnsParticipantHey Everyone, if you’re just looking for singles, we sell the “real sugar” bottled Sprite, Coke and Orange Fanta at Giannoni’s! Coca Cola sets the retail price for us – they’re $1.99 and just a funny FYI, Coca Cola Corp no longer allows their employees or retailers to refer to them as “Mexican” but rather, “Imported”.

austinMemberAmazon fresh sells 12 oz bottles by the 24-pack for $21.49, called “Mexican Coca-Cola”.

GinaParticipantSaw real sugar 7-UP at Met Market yesterday. $5.99 for a six pack. Located by the food bar area.

dawsonctParticipantIt’s about $4 less at Costco, Austin.
But they don’t deliver, so maybe the extra $$ are worth it for some.
I’m too cheap to give Bezos any more cash than is absolutely necessary.

KevinParticipantSeen for about $16 – 17 very recently. (6/2011) Costco I think – but please don’t hold me to that :)

velo_nutParticipantI saw some at the Costco in Cabo San Lucas. Hope that helps!

JanSParticipantit’s still sugar…just sayin’ ;-)

chrismaParticipantYes, it’s sugar, which is why it tastes so much better than the HFCS formula.

metrognomeParticipantwhen I started this thread, I guess I should have been clear that I don’t advocate that anyone actually *drink* this stuff. I think it is best used for cleaning silverware, clearing clogged drains and occasionally mixing with rum.
June 20, 2011 at 4:47 am #724520
JanSParticipantI like the rum part ;-)

chrismaParticipantCuba Libre! My very first alcoholic drink!
June 20, 2011 at 5:12 am #724522
chrismaParticipantI think of Coca-Cola more as a digestive tonic than a soft drink; kind of like draino for the gut.

Genesee HillParticipantThe saying goes that an alcoholic remembers their first drink. Well, I remember my first Coke. It was at the soda fountain in my dad’s drugstore in the 50s. It was served in a coke glass with chipped ice. I remember the slight burning sensation as it went down my throat. Utter perfection! If the stuff is/was that dangerous I should have been dead many, many years ago. Nobody on the planet has consumed more Coke, or Diet Coke, than me.

velo_nutParticipantI use this – http://www.sodastreamusa.com/

JanSParticipantI have looked at Soda Stream a few times and contemplated it. How do you like it? Pros? Cons?
June 21, 2011 at 12:30 am #724526
JimmyGMemberThe SodaStream is awesome, we’ve had it two years now.
We don’t use flavors as we’re addicted to plain carbonated water. What I like best about it is the ability to make the water as carbonated as you like since my preference is for my seltzer water to bring tears to my eye.
At first SS had issues getting the replacement canisters to their customers but they’ve overcome that and you can buy the canisters in many places right here in WS (Bartells, True Value).

dawsonctParticipantIf I had a Soda Stream, I would drink more booze instead of more sody-pops.
Not that it would really be THAT bad a thing…
