|  #1 Posted on 12.7.12 1949.01 | YOMexican Coca Cola has been available in the local(Champaign-Urbana, IL)Meijer and County market stores in 500 ml bottles for about 3 years and at $1.59 a 16.9 oz bottle can be quite addictive. Recently the U of I campus County Market began stocking 12 oz bottles of the Mexican Pepsi Cola for $0.99 , and is a wonderful alternative to the Coke product. Wish It was sold in more stores.

Here in MN, we can get a 24 bottle (12oz) "case" at Costco for about $18.99.
Hey, it's online too for a bit more: http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?ec=BD_115-EC20564-ProdID11036692&pos=0&whse=bd_115&topnav=bd&prodid=11234465&lang=en-US
Unfortunately for you, your nearest Costco looks to be over 100 miles away.

The convenience store where I used to work also sold cases of Sundrop made from cane sugar sold in returnable glass bottles. Those get made by a local bottler in Shawano, WI. It was $13 a case (24 12oz bottles) + a $10 bottle deposit. | Mr Heel II

Even though said bottlers are also producing their own "Throwback" sugar product.
Good for them either way. At least they give the consumers the option. | Mike Zeidler

*Ok, I didn't really look all that hard, but still.
**On our trip to Boston, I heard a teenage girl ask her friend if she wanted a Fawn-ta. It was delightful.

If so, will you send me one? Maybe some ketchup chips too?

Mike and Dog....there are many markets in the area that cater to the Hispanic populations...you will most likely find it there.

Sure, we're a bunch of fatties who like to talk about new sodas, but this is clearly a marketing dude trying to sell you his shit.

Yes, you have clearly uncovered his devious plot to sell us...um....to sell us...to sell us on the notion of soda with "real" sugar in it. And to think - I walked RIGHT into that trap!
