Hello. I was wondering if anyone might know how to buy soda from overseas? We lived in Japan for a few years and I fell in love with Fanta's Honeydew Melon soda. I can't seem to find it here in the States. Does anyone know how I can go about purchasing some??
Thanks so much for any info!!

The most comprehensive soda outlet I have found is www.popsoda.com - over 400 beverages. They do not have the drink you want, but it's worth bookmarking that site.
I did have a problem returning a case of Pepsi's that were from Mexico - and ended up not being allowed to return them. The bottles had white glass-wear that could not be removed (see pic). The drinks were fine, but people did not want to drink them. But I need the drinks he has, since no one else has the bottled versions (Squirt, Dr. Pepper, etc.) so I just accepted it, even though I had spent hundreds with that guy.
Nevertheless, he has just about every drink imaginable, and all in bottles - so it is a great resource. One caution - of course the sodas are very heavy and shipping is almost as much as the drinks themselves - so if you buy $100 of drinks, the bill will be about $200
But if you want to stock your machine with a variety - you have to pay for it.
