So where do you get Mexican Coca cola in Utah?

the Smith's on 9400 S and 2000 E in Sandy carries Mexican Coca-Cola ;) Not sure about other Smith's locations, but it's worth a shot...

Costco | 7:13 a.m. April 6, 2009

The Murray Costco sells a 24-pack of 12 oz. Mexican Coca-Cola in glass bottles for about $18.

Have you had the pure cane sugar Dr. Pepper from Texas? Don't start you will never ever go back. I have my friends ship it to me from Austin. If anybody knows where to find it in Utah I would love to know:)

If you want the real Dr. Pepper (original recipe with sugar), you can get it from the bottler in Texas. Do a search for Dublin Dr. Pepper. Or type 3 w's a period then put the name all together like dublindrpepper. You should also add another period with a com at the end. Since a URL is naughty to post here, I hope this is clear enough. It costs $10 / 24 case; but the shipping is pricey. Worth it, but pricey. And, if Ann tries this she may just become even more high maintenence!

Also, I think all the Costcos carry the Coke from Mexico. I have a case behind me here at work now. I bought it at the Orem Costco.

I love your very first article about Dr. Pepper dated June 29, 2000. I've saved it for all these years. We are Dr. Pepper fan's and being a Relief Society Counselor several times I related to your situation of cutting church and having one of those Dr. Peppers. Now, I had to have a Coca Cola Mexican style. So, yesterday..... My hubby went to the Harmon's in Taylorsville, and bought me 4 bottles. I am saving it for Sunday (after church) for the taste test. It would be cool if there is actually something in this world besides Dr. Pepper worth drinking :) Have a fun Easter

Ann, you have done it again. I have walked by those bottles in Costco and Albertson's. My neighbor knows I'm a fan of your articles and of the four letter drink...so she laughed and told me to go into archives to read your 4/6/09 article. I was out of town...Schnauzer with grandparents... What service! I probably owe my dad a case of cokes, but he's on a cruise now and might try it in Mexico, before I can buy him a case. I have traveled in Mexico and nothing could beat a bottle of something cold as you travel around. Keep the fun coming...you are in our heads. L
