Agreed, but squash and sweet potatoes are relatively easy and I believe have approximately the same nutrients! :)

Well, I still feel that although we are all influenced by culture, consumers have minds of their own and if everybody thought American holidays were stupid people just wouldn't buy the stuff and it would be a failed experiment by retail (of which there have been many).
I guess you and I just have different views of the power of stores alone to shape consumers' tastes and influence them to buy things they wouldn't normally want. Or maybe Europeans are different in that way, I guess. ???

Most convenience stores sell the single bottles, so you can try them that way. I've seen them in coolers in 7/11 and Quick Chek.

Tonight I was at the grocery store and I saw an end cap with some cans of Coca-Cola and, next to them, some green cans. Eureka! I thought. But alas, it was Sprite. :laugh:
I have paid so little attention to soda aisles for years that it might not be as hard to find as I think. But before you mentioned it, I had never seen it, heard of it nor seen anybody drinking it.

Same here. I'll have to check when I go to the supermarket this week. I do have to look at the Coke section pretty closely to find the Caffeine Free Coke. I've never seen "green Coke," but it's also possible I just missed it because I wasn't looking for Coke in a green carton.
Are they advertising it on the Internet? I've never seen a TV commercial for it.

I'm not much of a coke drinker, but I recall the green coke when it came out a couple years ago.
It seemed the claim to fame was it contained cane sugar, rather than the much-maligned high-fructose corn syrup. Guessing they included stevia to keep the calories down.
Thinking it might be nostalgic, I tried it once, and said, "Meh". I haven't seen it since.
Does anyone know about the so-called "Mexican coke" that's made with cane sugar and exported to the US?
