I've seen Coke syrup at GFS (although it's not listed on their website). I seem to recall some restrictions on purchase, though -- they may limit it to restaurants or something.

I believe that the stuff at GFS is for fountain drinks and the Soda Stream stuff is something you add to your Soda Stream water to get the approximation of drinking a Pepsi. I looked at the nutrition facts and the Soda Stream stuff only has a third of the calories and sugar as a regular Pepsi for the same volume. If you want a Pepsi, just drink a Pepsi!

I'm apparently late to this game but I just ran across Rocket Fizz in Woodstock. Apparently one of many in a chain. A pretty impressive selection of oddball sodas but a business model that does not seem to be lend itself to repeat business (says the guy who dropped $100 on his niece's kids).

Fever-Tree in general. The cucumber tonic water in specific. Small persistent bubble. Light cucumber aroma and flavor. Refreshing straight from the bottle, over ice, with citrus or mixed with alcohol.

Downside, bit on the costly side. Small glass bottles, 6.8oz, and not available everywhere.

Fever-Tree, count me a fan!
