Unfortunately, you can pretty much only get it in Dublin, tx :(

Amen to that.
I used to drive down to Dublin and pick it up. Kinda felt like I was bootlegging Dr.Peper across county lines. Now I just have it shipped to me, although
it is $43.00 shipped for 2 cases. Worth every penny.
Central Market will have it sometimes.

About time. My usual supplier was only able to get one case of the 20oz bottles. Couldn't get any from anywhere else. I had to resort to going to the 7/11's around town to buy them up.
I don't know what's up with the morons around my town. A lot of them cite themselves has "healthy" people, going to the gym three times a week, walking/jogging a mile once a day, yet they eat those dried fruit and granola bars (HFC), drink lots of Gatorade (HFC) and buy cheap wheat bread (HFC). They still wonder why they're all fat and slobby. :laugh2:
Yet when something comes around with anything remotely resembling sugar (other than HFC) they run in the opposite direction screaming like a bunch of girls. People are even terrified of inverted sugar, but stuff their faces full of HFC every day. :soapbox:

Cuba is only part of the equation. Sugar prices in the U.S. is artificially inflated (subsidized I guess?) and imported sugar is restricted (not just from Cuba, Canada manufacturers sugar as well). Growing cane sugar is only possible in a tiny area of the U.S. so most of our granulated sugar would come from Beets. People get weird about beet sugar.
Corn based products receive fat government subsidies and there is a better funded Corn Lobbyist in D.C. ensuring the corn industry keeps receiving their money while ensuring the sugar industry continues to be hurt from artificially inflated prices.

Ah... now I get it, didnt realize you guys in the US had corn syrup coke. Whenever I used to travel to the US for work and had a coke it never tasted right, but I didnt really think too much about it. Makes sense now.

I honestly can't imagine any of our processed foods tasting right to anyone outside of the country. The U.S. food industry puts all sorts of weird ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- in all sorts of weird places.

It's just whatever you're used to.

It's the aftertaste. HFC soda has a distinct aftertaste, almost acidic. Whereas non-HFC lacks this aftertaste. I don't believe HFC is a direct cause of the aftertaste though. Most likely it's a necessary ingredient added to HFC sodas.
Sugar soda is distinctly smoother, slightly sweeter and definitely lacks the strange aftertaste.

No, it's actually kinda amusing. Baby steps, you know.
