Cheerwine? I see it in all the stores here in South Carolina. A good ginger beer is a different matter.

Cheerwine is hard to find pretty much everywhere
Red soda made with cane sugar only.

I wasn't aware there was such a demand for certain sodas. Maybe I need to go into the rare soda business, lol.

That's exactly what this guy did:
soda finder
Check out his discontinued stuff - some of the prices are outrageous. I think his idea is good, but the prices seem pretty steep. I would think someone could do that for less, but maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe he needs some competition from someone who can offer fair prices (i.e., close to retail, actual shipping/packaging cost).
I could probably do it. We probably have more soda brands, especially imported international ones, in New York City than anywhere else. Could even use ATOT users as shipping points for limited regional brands.

When I lived in Michigan from 2005-2007, they had a Mountain Dew Diet Code Red and a Barq's Diet Red Cream Soda (and also regular versions). I really liked both of these.
Since moving to TX, I have been unable to find either one of them at any store. I spoke with a manager at HEB (regional grocery store chain) and he called his distributor who claimed that the Mountain Dew Diet Code Red was not even produced at any of their facilities in TX, and was therefore not available to anyone in TX. I figured the story would be the same with the red cream soda, so I didn't bother asking.
Has anyone seen either of these two recently? If so, where are you located and what store did you see it at? Both the diet code red and the red cream soda are listed as current products on their respective companies' websites, so I don't think they have been discontinued entirely.
If anyone else is looking for something rare, post it here and maybe we can use this as a central place to locate hard-to-find drinks Or if you can recommend another drink that tastes identical and is more widely available, that would work too.
I did see this site:

but their prices seem ridiculous. ($465 for a 12 pack of Pepsi Blue :Q, although that one was discontinued IIRC).

My fiancée lives in Texas and lived on Diet Code Red for a long time. She doesn't drink it anymore, but it was definitely available in Texas.
I miss Crystal Pepsi and Mountain Dew: LiveWire.

Diet Code Red is easy to find up here, Mello Yello is the only thing I like that seems to be getting rare. I shall burn some bitches down if Coke tries to discontinue it.

Cheerwine is the BEST coke there is. To this day I have no idea why it's so hard to find. They could overtake all the other cokes in a heartbeat.

Someone could maybe design an online coop, where ATOT could input their location and the hard to find sodas that they have access to locally. This data could be uploaded to a retail website. Whenever a customer purchases a 12 pack, the members with access would be notified and then the first one to respond would be given the $ and then they would purchase and ship the soda.
Anybody?

I like this idea. What exactly do you mean by "retail" website?
