Ari [APz] SovijärviHere's something I discovered in the US. This Mexican brand has plenty of other flavors too, but the cola is my favorite. No bullshit, just sugary goodness. I'm glad some got imported into this corner of the world too.

There's a ton of these at my grocery store - I finally tried one a few months ago from a food truck.

@SecretAntelope I think I counted over 10 flavors in the US, currently there's like 5 available around here, from the same company that imports all the rarer soda variants from the US.
Emelia/Emi@apzpins Most of the ones I can find around here (northeast US) are the various "Fanta-like" flavors. Never actually seen the cola one, now want to try and acquire it. Might stick my head over to what's basically "The south american version of chinatown" to see if any of the specialty stores over there stock it.
@becomethewaifu I found the cola variant around Arizona or Nevada, but I made a note a lot of Walmarts carrying some versions of it.
The locals also had plenty of Coca-Cola specifically made in Mexico as it was made with cane sugar instead of whatever the American non-diet version was made with. There was a pretty noticeable difference in them.
@apzpins US coke is corn syrup IIRC. Very different flavor from cane sugar. (And that's popular up here too, so I can get that whenever I want it. But I'm unfortunately stuck with diet/zero most of the time so can't have it all that often)
You probably have as good or more access to obscure Jarritos flavors than I do, really, given that a European reference for the distance from here to Texas would be from Portugal all the way to Poland... (And Arizona would be like going all the way from Portugal to the Russian border...)
John Wilson@apzpins I’ve never tried the cola. Interesting
@crazybutable Curious, I had assumed all the brand's flavors were pretty universally available in the US.
Tim 🎮@apzpins @crazybutable it gets around - it's not hard to find here in Australia!
@apzpins I used to get all of the fancy fruit flavors. Then I discovered later in life that one of the things fueling my recurring migraines was artificial colors.
They have one fruit flavor, grapefruit, that I don’t have any problems with. And although I can think of 10 stores within a five minute drive that carry these sodas, I know not all locations carry all of the flavors, because some of them just don’t carry the grapefruit
Didn’t even occur to me to check if they have a cola
