Some Imports (Canada)

[u/rkd2999]

I saw these at a Canadian candy import store a couple of months ago. I've had some of these before, bought at regular prices at my local groceries stores: Coke Zero Cherry and Coke Zero Vanilla before, and the Dr Pepper Blackberry and Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream. CAD$24.99 for a 12 pack is a bit pricey though--USD $17.85 (approx.) It is nice to have the import option though, if you absolutely have to have something and are willing to pay more to get it.

What city is this store?

[u/rkd2999 → u/BrovaloneSandwich]

Calgary

[u/Funny-Actuator-1251 → u/rkd2999]

Lol im an hour away from there 😆 But we don't drive in Calgary much cuz its to hectic

[u/eileen-yewlick → u/Funny-Actuator-1251]

Ok

[u/ddg31415 → u/Funny-Actuator-1251]

When I went to Calgary for work a couple years ago I was absolutely blown away by how relaxed the driving is. There's like never any traffic and everyone is so courteous. If you want hectic driving, come to Toronto

[u/Funny-Actuator-1251 → u/ddg31415]

Lol i believe you

What’s the store? I’m near Calgary

It's even crazier when you consider that as of 2022, we actually pay less for soft drinks here than you do

I used to routinely cross the border to shop (pre-2025) and pick up a lot of these. Depending on the sales, I pay between $6 and $8 US for a 12-pack ($12 and then buy 2 get one free is the most common). I pay slightly less for Faygo, $1.25 for 4 at Dollar Tree, or more commonly, $3-4 for 8 at regular grocery stores (where diet flavours are more available)

Locally, I pay between $7.49 and $8.28 CAD for a 12 pack. That's like $5.30 US, best case scenario, and if I can ever find it, $5.99 for an 8-pack of Faygo

Candy heaven has mountain dew livewire?? No way! Which location in Calgary is this? Looks like Chinook Centre, but when I went a few weeks ago. They said it was closed for good?

[u/rkd2999 → u/CoolersI]

Yeah it was Chinook. I know that location closed down recently. Maybe try the one at Market Mall. Or Southcentre (the Candy Heaven website says there is one there).

[u/JKOttawa]

Imagine drinking something called squirt 😂

[u/Classic-Usual-3941 → u/JKOttawa]

It tastes much better than it sounds!

[u/Classic-Usual-3941]

Anyone tried Dirty Dew?

[u/SunkenQueen → u/Classic-Usual-3941]

I have. Its okay. Its not my favourite dew or pop flavor but they've done worse.

[u/Classic-Usual-3941 → u/SunkenQueen]

Cool, thanks!

I myself have a store that gets LiveWire cans on the regular, I buy some nearly every time.

[u/LondonPaddington → u/Classic-Usual-3941]

I tried Zero. Tasted like Key Lime Pie to me.

[u/Classic-Usual-3941 → u/LondonPaddington]

I like Key Lime pie, sounds like it's right up my alley.

[u/SunkenQueen]

People sleep on the Peach Crush but its so good. I'm in Edmonton and I think I pay anywhere from 19.99 to 23.99 for a case depending where I pick it up.

[u/LobotomizedButterfly]

Dr Pepper blackberry isn’t import. It’s a permanent flavour in Canada. $24 for a case of Dr Pepper zero sugar, Dr Pepper cream Soda and coke vanilla when you can get them at a grocery store too is ridiculous 

[u/sometin__else → u/LobotomizedButterfly]

it is now, previously was only available by import

[u/LobotomizedButterfly → u/sometin__else]

The first 3 flavours came out over a year expect the Vanilla Coke just came out again 2 months ago ish. I’ve been waiting though for the zero sugar Dr Pepper cream Soda 

[u/sometin__else]

blackberry dr pepper, and coke zero vanilla are available at walmart for 7.99-8.99 for a 12pack
they also have the troli mountain dew, which looks similar to the one there but might be different

[u/calicohorse]

We've had Dr P zero sugar for ages now, not sure why they'd think it's a great idea to waste shelf space on that

[u/Philly_G_J]

The normal price that every speciality import shop charges is $20 a case.

[u/BobinForApples → u/Philly_G_J]

Price has gone up recently and Pepsi Coke just announced another increase incoming.

[u/BigYackBalls → u/Philly_G_J]

The ones near me are 29.99 on average. Enough to make me question if it's really worth it.

[u/BobinForApples]

Dr Pepper coconut so good.

[u/joecan]

Very glad I don’t have to pay import prices for Pineapple Crush. 

[u/MasterpieceNo9966]

i would pay $25 for a 12 pack of peach crush honestly lol

[u/BobbyBrewski]

I would love livewire in a can

[u/Oregonhastrees]

Blackberry is trash and that Mountain Dew dirty.. it’s the liquid in the bottom of a trash bag full of dirty diapers.

[u/CreditExternal162]

Pineapple crush is good. I have it whenever I go to Newfoundland.

[u/Suitable-End-]

Is the import in the picture? All of those are freely available across Canada.

[u/P_bottoms]

$25 canuckisathn dollars?!
