Sure, made with cane sugar instead of corn syrup, always a big improvement.

Frank I think we can get it in Ontario so BC should be Ok. My grandson has it or the equivalent in at least 3 of the Mexican restaurants we commonly get to and there is place in Kensington Market that is a grocery/importer/restaurant that brings in Mexican food stuffs that has it or equivalent.

There is a pie shop near me that sells a butterscotch soda, it's delicious.

Yeah.  You can get it in most supermarkets here.
There's a taco stand near my home.  Mostly a drive thru joint, but one outdoor table.  A nice place to sit and eat after a ride.
I do my best to stay away from soda as well, but here, gotta have a mango or lime Jarritos to wash down my carne asada.

The eastern side of Washington State has a pretty authentic mexican population due to all the fruit and orchards. You can get some awesome mexican food here. Lot's of Tiendas to buy drinks and such. Even the taco trucks are pretty damn good.

As far as the Pineapple juice comment, throw some rum in that thing! Now you're talking summer drink!

Eh, I go for the Mexican Coke with my pastor, lengua, carnitas and asada street tacos at the local carniceria.
They make their tortillas fresh.  8)

The first time I ever had a Mexican coke I was actually in Mexico and it was so syrupy sweet I almost gagged.

But some of the Jarritos fruit flavors are pretty good.
Reminds me of Fanta or Shasta back in the day when they had like 15 different flavors.

Are you a drip-coffee-all-day-guy, Dukie, or do you reach for an energy drink?

One coffee in the morning to clear out the cobwebs and a caffeine soda at lunch for some flavor and offset the sleepy feeling of digesting lunch.
I usually don't like energy drinks like Monster or whatever they make, my beet sugar Mountain Dews are about as close as I get to an energy drink.

I was drinking Monsters daily, and it was getting quite expensive.  Had to end it.

Limon is the best flavor IMO, it's at almost every corner store and taqueria here in the south sound Washington.
