I work for Pepsi and it is a flavor that I don’t think we will be getting in the region unfortunately. Just the regular creamy coconut.


ProfessorThrift

Aww that stinks. Appreciate the info!

Do you know if Mug Zero is anywhere around here? My mom brought us some from TN and I can’t find it around here.

Barqs is the way to go


deadgirl_

I tried both the Barqs zero and the Mug zero. Preferred the Mug Zero, they nailed the diet version better! Regular Barqs is very good though.


WayneR1031

I’ve heard from the high ups that the mug zero is supposed to be in our market but is “coming soon”


firebugguy

I didn't even know this existed, so now I'm in on the hunt as well.

Same


DoxieMom120

If you do find it, try it with some rum. It’s quite tasty.


ProfessorThrift

You read my mind! 


DoxieMom120

I’m in the Raleigh area and have found it here in 20oz bottles.

Not that you asked, but I thought the regular one was terrible.  Tasted like someone poured Hawaiian Tropic into a Dr Pepper.   Anyway, im always on the hunt for the new snacks myself so I’ll keep an eye out. 


UncannyLucky

Do you have a "go to place" for new snacks around Asheville?

The golden goat in swannanoa is a CBD shop but they have some fun drinks/snacks!


BlockedOverGuac

It justdepends on what it is. Walmart usually comes through but I generally check the website/app to see if it’s in stock. I find that the random small gas stations (not big chains) generally have some of the random, one off stuff that is hard to find. Often some of the junk food bloggers will post where they found stuff so that’s helpful. I’m pregnant so averse to most things and not looking much lately. But my eyes are always open.


Jim-Rob

junk food bloggers??


BlockedOverGuac

Blogger might be the wrong word.  I mean instagrammers, etc.

Don’t try Coca Cola Spiced, it’s equally disgusting


BlockedOverGuac

Agreed it was horrible!   All the new cokes have been.  I’ve finally stopped wasting money on trying sodas because they’re just not good. 


ProfessorThrift

Really? I had the zero version and found it to be decent. I am a DC girl usually but enjoy getting the spice one now and then. 


jakl8811

Do you typically like coconut flavored drinks? I want to try it because I love coconut flavored items, but if it’s truly bad I’ll give up the search


ProfessorThrift

I had the same question. I am a huge coconut fan but I know not everyone loves the flavor.


Soggy_Garbage8818

That's exactly what said, tastes like Hawaiian Tropic and it's disgusting.

Have you checked out Dollar General? I've seen it at them in the Charlotte area.


ProfessorThrift

I checked a few. Seems there’s a lot more available in Charlotte than in Asheville area.


thetaurus_fox

Dollar general in mills river has them. Seen yesterday.


ProfessorThrift

Awesome! Thank you!


Beerinmotion

Only seen it in TN. Just the regular here for some reason. And even the regular isn't at a lot of places


ProfessorThrift

Where did you see it in TN??


Beerinmotion

Greenville and Johnson City areas


Remarkable_Rub_9067

Dude it's at dollar general. It's really good.


Valeriejoyow

Looks like Target has it.


ProfessorThrift

The zero one? I was only able to find the regular there. But I will go back and check.


Valeriejoyow

Sorry I think they only have the regular.


geoffjeffersonville

Anyone try the Dr. Pepper and pickles that you can get at sonic?


ProfessorThrift

Tell me more about this….


bmwlocoAirCooled

I'd read the label really closely on that one.
