With so many farms and orchards north of me, there are Hispanic party stores where I can purchase 12 oz coke and Pepsi products.
Not only did they have a label added from the FDA it was approved for sale in the US, I find it even tastes better since the pop is made with sugar, as opposed to corn syrup.
So I guess it is safe to drink  '>

Did using pop instead of soda give me away as a midwesterner? '>
I'm a little north of you, in the frigid lands of Michigan, 20 miles north of Detroit. ..
edit: Boy I'll be embarassed if you were asking Marko

Kilroy I was asking you. Yes with you saying pop I knew you were somewhere close. When I moved to Florida 4 years ago everyone gave me a hard time about the whole pop thing. As a young man I can say that I have never had (or don't remember) ever having a Coke made with sugar. maybe I will buy a machine close to you and have to buy a few cases.

Anyway, I guess I'm just nervous about lead, etc., since just last month, big news stories came out about major lead found in some children's Mexican candy imported to Mexican groceries in the U.S. (yes, that's right, lead in candy!) and also lead as the majority of the metal in children's, teen's and costume jewelry made in Mexico and sold in tons of stores around the U.S. including gumball machines, Target, Claire's, etc.
Kids got brain damage from the candy and from sucking on or even handling the jewelry.

Josh, You should be able to find mexi coke and pepsi in Ohio. If I recall correctly your near Cleveland right. Should be plenty of places that stock the Mexi cola's. Most of the younger people I've given it too, do not see what the big deal is, but to those of us who grew up on the sugar sweetened pop it's a big difference.

Josh, In Fairfeild there is this palce called Jungle Jim's. It's a international food store that has everything and is a fun place to go. They have an aisle called american pop which is a full asile of glass soda's. Cheerwine, vernor's, moxie, belnheim's, and many other's. Also each international food aisle will have pop from the respective region. Try some guarana pop from Brazil or some thumbs up from india. I make the drive a couple times a year (from Detroit) so I can fill my machines up with Glass bottled Mountain Dew and Cheerwine.
