A case of 24 cans, big size, Cherry Coke will cost you 13,000 won at the Costco in Ilsan. Drink up and enjoy!

Now that is news!

To answer two questions that have been PMed to me that others may also need to ask-

Here's the location of the Costco in Ilsan-
http://www.costco.co.kr/eng/whs_855.htm
Go to Seoul subway station 314 (Baekseok) and go out exit #3. You have to walk straight to the end of the block. You'll see it at the light, on the left.
(You'll understand).

To find the Cherry Coke, go to the bottom floor (the entrance) and walk towards the back of the store. The soda aisle is on the left after the juice aisle but before the laundry detergent and paper goods. The Cherry Coke is on at pallet at the end, facing the middle aisle.

Oh, I also found those sliced "sandwich stacker" pickles at the Ilsan Costco. They haven't been available at Costco for a long time. The sliced pickles are about 4 aisles back from the checkout.

But have they brought back Daddy's Cream Soda?

I found some Coca Cola with cherry flavor in a Mart, t' other day. I'm not sure if it's the same thing, as we had "Cherry Coke" branded cherry coke back in the day(in NZ). It's not as good as Dr Pepper, but a nice find. Just goes to show you, you can find random items in the multitudes of "Marts" that dot the landscape.

I'll have to take a look at the CostCo over where I live and see if they have them. Interesting development though...

[wylies99]

If anyone sees it at other Costcos, please post.

Also being stocked at Yeongdeungpo-gu Office branch of Costco...

I had one from a vending machine the other day. It was in a skinny-size can. It tasted pretty much like back home! I think you'll see it everywhere soon.

I usually do Coke Zero to fulfill my soda craving once a week.

I'd go for the caffeine-free Coke but haven't seen it in Korea.
