I know - I've been trying to find a store that has Peach Fresca - HAH! 
Co'Cola's 800 line says they still make it and (listing of stores) carry it. 
Double HAH! I told the nice lady on the other end of the phone that while 
their records might say that those stores, in past, have stocked Peach Fresca 
that I had visited each of them within the preceding fortnight - with no luck.

 NB>> Nice...  I don't know of any old-fashioned soda fountains around
 NB>> here... let alone one that would carry the sugared...

 DD> You can do your own soda fountain -- get a Soda Stream

 NB> Last I knew, there isn't a Cherry Coke syrup available for that.....

Well, no. Probably not - you have to do it like the soda jerk does it. Ice, a 
squirt of cherry (or vanilla, lemon, chocolate, etc.) syrup then the Co' Cola 
on top of that.

 NB>> I can understand that one... ;)  There's a limit to how much we can
 NB>> stock at a time, too... :)  I don't generally pay that much attention
 NB>> to the "mushroom" drug stores... don't have their loyalty cards or

 NB> Ah... we get ours at Wegmans Pharmacy... they've been generally the

 DD> Their programme is one of the better ones I have seen. There is no

 NB> They ask for the phone number when you cash out...?  Sounds like it's a
 NB> fairly user-friendly program... :)

Yes'm. Just like K-Mart. And at both if there are enough points to redeem the 
cashier asks if you'd like to apply the reward to the current purchase.

 NB>>> But I might look around to see if anyone locally happens to carry it...

 DD>> Call (585) 546-3900 Coca-Cola Bottling Corporation 123 Upper Falls
 DD>> Blvd, Rochester, NY 14605 and see where the customers to whom they

 NB>> Good idea....  or at least see if they are delivering the sugared

 DD> Good luck with that. I hate fighting my way through the voice-tree

 NB> We'll see what sort of phone system is there... ;)  I much prefer real
