I have not seen any in Costco, but here in Memphis just about any corner market seems to have it.  I tried it once and could not really tell the difference.

How much was a case (I assume you bought a 24 flat)? 
I get the 8oz at Sams.

Most of  the Latino grocery stores & quicky marts have it up here in the Detroit/Pontiac area, Pepsi in .335 ml too Up in Saginaw you can get Squirt & Fresca in the old fasioned bottles from Me'hico.     drinking   & I've even gotten 7up in Glass too!

My nephew works for the Detroit Coca Cola bottling plant, and he mentioned to me this weekend a distributor has cut a deal to import Mexicali Coke and is aiming for grocery chains and big warehouses. I should have asked him if it was limited to Michigan or  country wide.
The one obstable they had to overcome was  the deposit law return  values  and  adding UPC codes, which  are handled by adding a printed label to the bottle.

      I heard from an exectutive of Coca Cola that this Christmas
they will be launching a new seasonal product package. Coke
will be sold in a Hutchison bottle. He is going to bring me a case
in the next few weeks & I will post a pic.

That should be pretty cool? I'm assuming a capped version though? not the old stopper style?
Will it vend?

I still get bottles filled at the Winona MN plant a few times a year... nothing better than new product out of the old thick Glass bottles!!!  drinking

Greg,

Did you happen to look at the ingredients?   Do the Mexicans use cane sugar or the all american toxic High Fructose Corn Syrup?   FYI Dr. Pepper still manufactuers cane sugar pop in Dublin Tx., but shipping will kill you.

I thought the Mexican Cokes still used sugar? I'm not sure... I'm gonna run to the grocery store over lunch and look.
