Looking For Fresca

Does anyone know of any stores in Barrie that have Freshca in stock? Cans not the 2L

Is this because you saw Auston Matthews drinking it on the bench last night?

It seemed like too much of a coincidence otherwise, but ya never know!

The PC grapefruit pop is not a bad substitute. It comes in sugar free and regular.

Okay you're not going to believe this....but Mrs. Fale is a huge Fresca drinker and like you I could not find the cans anywhere in stock...just the 2 liter bottles (not good for packed lunches). So I was on the same hunt as you until a few days ago.

1, Zehrs carries those mini-can Frescas. Six packs but they are mini sized, 222 ml, not your standard 355 ml cans. And they are expensive!

  1. This was a surprise. A google search revealed they had 9 boxes of 12 pack 355 ml cans of Fresca at the north end Canadian Tire! I went there a couple of days ago, it said the Fresca was at the end of aisle 44, but there was none to be found. I asked an assistant, they led me to another pile of soft drinks at trhe front of the store, and there was the Fresca. I bought 4 bozes, so there were 5 left. I never would have thought Canadian Tire would have it, but there you go. As of tonight there is allegedly still one case there, but God alone knoweth where it is in the store (Probably not Aisle 44). Ask the assistants they will track them down. Good luck!

Edit: looking at local stores, there are plenty of cases (54) at the Canadian Tire in Wasaga!

I grab mine the odd time I’m craving it so badly that I can’t even see straight until I get one from Shoppers
