I drove through Temple, TX to go to Austin yesterday. I thought that being in the hometown of Temple Bottling Co. I would be able to find Nehi easily. Nope, not a drop of Nehi anywhere. And I stopped plenty of times to check. But they seem to bottle a lot of stuff. I didn't realise how much they make. They bottle Dr Pepper/7up/RC, (They make Cherry RC! I was beginning to think i'd never see it again!) and also Crush, Spicewood Springs Lemonade, and Spicewood sodas like Apple, Cola and Strawberry. Plus Dr Pepper 6 oz. bottles with Imperial Sugar. Their bottling plant stays busy!
And in Austin, I went into an H-E-B grocery store and found things like Canfield's Diet 50/50, Ol' Bob Miller's Prickly Pear Cactus Cooler, and Jolt Cola 6-packs on the shelf. Alongside little 8oz. cans of Vanilla Coke and several Coke products. And pretty much everything made by Dr Pepper is in 3-liter bottles. I noticed that H-E-B also has two different store brands. One is just H-E-B soda, the other is Hill Country Fare, which from the looks of them are all naturally flavored.
I didn't find anything like Surge anywhere, but they still bottle Citra around Waco, TX in 20 oz. bottles.
