I have seen various threads at times on pure cane sugar soda. I personally have not seen this at my local Costco prior to today, but it is possible I missed it. If someone already posted, I missed it in my search.
It`s coca cola 24 12oz bottles for $17.99
My Costco was in Sacramento, the Elk Grove / South sac store.

there is not too much of a difference between cane sugar, and HFCS
cane sugar is 50/50 glucose to fructose
HFCS is 45% glucose 55% fructose
minus a small bond in the sucrose, and a 5% difference, they are nearly identical, especially in their ability to cause insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

That said, it tastes noticeably different (cane sugar vs HFCS)

Picked up a couple cases today at the Fremont, CA Costco. Thanks OP
I've never seen this at the Boston area Costcos. I always assumed it was a midwest/west coast specific item. If anyone sees or has seen it anywhere else an update by PM would be greatly appreciated.

Entirely true. Cane sugar may impart a different taste, but it's hardly any better from a health perspective.

The first detailed genetic comparison between humans and chimpanzees shows that 96 per cent of the DNA sequence is identical in the two species.
Ever since your duly elected federal government decided (via import fees) to simultaneously support the US domestic sugar market while simultaneously creating a brand new market for ADM to exploit.
Cane sugar cola has a noticably different taste, which I prefer. But other than as a rare treat, the corn syrup version is ok for me 99% of the time.

Remember that the Passover sodas are only available for sale around Passover time (March-April) but are indeed much cheaper than this Costco "deal"
If you like cane sugar, Jones Soda is cane and has been 3 12packs for $10 for a while at Albertsons and often at Shopko. Not Coke but if you like cane it has it.

I have looked at basically everywhere that sells soda I can think of. Yes, I know when passover is.
kaiotes said: how is 20 bucks a hot deal for some cola!?!??!?!?!?
I agree, how is this hot - please explain what I am missing. Here in NJ, I can go to any local Gas Station and pick up 2 12 packs of Coke for $5. On sale, I can get 5 - 12 packs for $10 at most Grocery Stores. This week at ShopRite they have (4) 12 Packs for $10 and you get I think 4 free 2 liter bottles.

If the Coke you're getting at the gas station is made with real sugar, then you've found a better deal. Or maybe you've just found 25 year old Coke.
For me, the Coke made from sugar sells for 1.79 per bottle at my local Kroger. By comparison, the Costco deal is smoking hot.
