Local Costco has a 12-pack of 12-oz glass bottles of Pepsi Natural for $11.99.
Ingredients list is: sparkling water, sugar, natural apple extract (color), caramel color, citric acid, caffeine, acacia gum, tartaric acid, lactic acid, natural flavor, kola nut extract.
Claims to be made with all organic ingredients, and the front of the bottle says "all natural cola" and lists sparkling water, sugar (instead of HFCS), and kola nut extract as the featured ingredients.
First sip was definitely something to get used to, but I'm starting to really like it now. I've never been one for regular Pepsi (I usually drink Coke or Dr Pepper).

We have been buying Mexican Cokes at our local Costco for the past year or so. The cases they sell work out to be $.83 per bottle.
My son went to Ireland last year with his high school marching band and fell in love with Club Orange. Apparently, it is one of the most popular sodas in Ireland. I searched around to see if I could purchase it in the states. I ended up buying it by the bottle from an Irish bar in downtown Seattle. It contains real orange bits and sugar.

And perhaps most Americans don't notice the difference? Heck, half of Americans can't tell the difference between Diet Coke and regular Coke...

HFCS is much (well, at least in mass scale) cheaper.

Hey!
There is a strong distinction between Diet & regular Coke-
Now caffine or not - not sure there is a huge difference there or not...
If one would put the two together - a distinction is there-
Were you thinking of the Coke Zero possibly? From what I recall... That mirrors the taste of HFCS Coke...

I was able to pick up Kosher coke in the Mayfield (Cleveland area) Costco. It wasn't labeled as such, but the ingredients list has "Sucrose" which is sugar. Rather than HFCS.
I bought two big cases of the stuff.
What I really miss is the real coke in the glass bottles. I really hate drinking stuff that has been canned.

I got a pepsi throwback just because I could, wonderful! much better flavor. I still won't drink many sodas but nice for a single bottle at the time.

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I remember seeing that people were asking where to get Mexican Coke made with sugar in the Northeast.
Yesterday afternoon (1/24/2010), at the Bethlehem, PA Wegmen's they had it on an end cap across from their deli in the foreign foods section. They were selling it by the bottle and by the case (24 bottles in a case). It comes is 355ml glass bottles that need a bottle opener.
