Dillon's at 6th and Lawrence sells real Coca-Cola, in 355mL bottles. Real because it's made with sugar and not corn syrup, and yes, you can tell the difference if you're old enough to have been cola-swilling before 1985. As soon as I took a sip, I had a distinct taste flashback to when I was very small. Freaky AND delicious.

Wow. I wonder how they get it. That sounds fantastic. I still have vivid dreams of Coke out of the bottles in my Mom's Teachers Lounge at the old Middle School she taught at when I was little. There is nothing like that taste.

Oddly enough, it's in the Mexican Foods section. I did a little research and found out mexico and a bunch of other countries still have Coke with sugar instead of HFCS.

We get it from the taco trucks near our work. I love living in a largely hispanic area.

They had a thing on NPR this morning about taco trucks in L.A. It made me salivate, because they kept talking about adobo pork and carne asada quesadillas. Pork tacos for a buck each... marinated, cut from a spit pig. I was ready to hop in the car and start driving west.

You can get the Dublin Dr. Pepper at any Jason's Deli. They have it on fountain. No lie.

I went to Tortas Jalisco a few months ago and got a bottle of that when I asked for a coke.
