clearly canadian

[AStar617]

Does anyone know if they sell this ANYWHERE in/around Boston anymore?

If I find Blackberry, I'm buying it by the case... no more droughts for me

**EDIT:

$3 via PayPal to the first person to provide a store in Eastern MA that sells Clearly Canadian Blackberry regularly.

$5 via PayPal to the first person to provide a store in Greater Boston (inside 128) that sells Clearly Canadian Blackberry regularly.

Funds sent as soon as I have my first bottle in hand.

i always see it in our area (midwest) in the soda/pop aisle. It is SO good.
good luck finding it.

They used to have it all thru the 90s, then it's like it disappeared off the (Boston) map. :thumbsdown:

Time to offer a PayPal bounty. OP edited.

i couldnt find it for the life of me here in sd also. then i found out a liquor store down the street carried the blackberry. but that wasnt enough. i wanted to enjoy all the flavors like i did when i was a child. cherry, strawberry, grape, etc. one day i get a frantic call from my sister. she was at big lots and they were selling single bottles for $.59. and not just blackberry either, every flavor and some! i had her buy me $10 worth and mix and match various flavors. it was the greatest day of my life. in fact, im going back there again tonight. thanks for reminding me.

edit: i realize my story doesnt put a clearly canadian in your hands, but i thought id share that from one clearly canadian fan to another.

Don't count yourself out... while the Big Lots inventory from store to store is very hit-or-miss, there's one in Lynn (less than 30min from my house) and one in Milford (less than 30min from my job). You might have earned the $5, stay tuned!

Actually, it looks like they now have Clearly Canadian Lite that uses Splenda. zero calories/carbs.

Of course, I wouldnt know firsthand... :brokenheart:

if im right and big lots has it in stock, use that $5 to buy more clearly canadian. every little bit helps and gotta ensure that they keep producing and sending it out to big lots stores.

Actually thats my only concern about this lead--that Big Lots is carrying it because it's a closeout item

You got me there... Taxachusetts makes me cough up an extra 5% plus the 5c deposit.

If it's any glimmer of hope whatsoever to you, not every item they carry is a closeout - for example, they carry (locally) the AriZona Iced Tea line, which isn't going anywhere any time soon.

 

[AStar617]

^^good to hear.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

1) Contact Clearly Canadian through their website
2) Ask them for the names of their American distributors
3) Contact the distributor
4) Ask them what stores they service
5) PayPal me $5 for offering advice that you should have thought of yourself.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Their website has a half-assed locator and they list


Cumberland Farms
628 EAST FIFTH STREET
SOUTH BOSTON MA, MA, US, 2127

as carrying their stuff


BTW, have you tried Shaw's Supermarket? They don't carry CC AFAIK, but they have their own brand of sparkling flavored water and there's a raspberry/blackberry flavor.

 

[isekii]

their peach flavor was really good.

hum.. i guess they dont have it anymore according to their website.

the bottle design is ugly too.
the older design was much better.

Wow, worst fcking locator ever. All it told me was stores in NY when I used it, no mention of Southie... AND it has a link where you can tell THEM who else is carrying it? WTF?

Anyways, thanks for that. I don't go to that side of town often but I will if I have to.

I'm pretty sure those use that aspartame crap that I hate so much. Close but no cigar.

Serious? Mind taking a look for me next time you stop in?? That'd be much easier than me going all the way from Cambridge just to confirm.

 

[blakeatwork]

It's still around??

 

[AStar617]

sure is, at selected locations in the US... nowhere near as visible in Boston as it was 10yrs ago...
