Found this when surfing around. Its a shop in California that will ship to Canada.

Here's a youtube video about the store:

The pop they sell uses real cane sugar, not corn syrup like most pops sold in stores. Much nicer taste, less calories and healthier too.

I saw his shop on the food network.
Seems like a good genuine business owner. =)

I think you can buy that kind of stuff at Whole Foods or Planet Organic if they're local to you.

Not always true.

Pepsi Throwback contains 3.2 mg/oz. of caffeine, which is the same as HFCS Pepsi, Pepsi Natural, and Kosher Pepsi. (By comparison, Coca-Cola Classic has 2.9 mg/oz., while Mountain Dew contains 4.5 mg/oz.) Drinking an entire 20 oz. bottle will cost you 260 calories, 10 more than HFCS Pepsi.

Doesn't Jones Soda use cane sugar? If it does, than you could easily find that here.

Jones does use cane sugar and is relatively easy to find in the GTA. RCSS, candy stores, etc.

Loblaws and most big grocery stores, not foodbasic, walmart ect
they sell Blue Sky soda that is made with real sugar.
About $1 a can.
I have one right here and it says on it MADE WITH REAL SUGAR, no corn syrup.

Also Loblaws, metro ect the sell Knutsens soda, sweetened without sugar. It uses white grape juice and fruit juices only. The tangerine one is very good, as are all the other fruit ones.
They are pretty sweet tasting though. But finally they have a reduced sugar one with less juice in it :)
Those are maybe $1.25 a can have not checked prices lately.

or heck, you guys are in big Toronto with big health foods stores, they sell tons of specialty sodas and no shipping costs :)

A lot of these sodas are glass bottled, so they're easy to point out. Loblaws sells Real Brew and Blue Sky (canned) in the Health Food/Organic section. They also have Jones Soda which for some reason in my local store is stocked with the energy drinks.

One of my favourites is Virgil's Root Beer and Cream Soda. They sell it here in Ottawa at Farm Boy.

Actually, I don't drink pop at all, just giving an option. Used to like Jones, however, and still occasionally indulged in one.

Real Brew is pretty good stuff. Their root beer and ginger ale are their best ones.
