32 oz is 2 pounds. Run that through any shipping calculator and see what comes up. Then you have to package it.

The seller isn't making anything on the shipping.

I buy a few cases of soda a year online and it just goes with the territory being a heavy product, if you want what you want you have to pay for it.

Squirt and Wink are just about the same taste wise. Fresca is pretty close too. I grew up on Sun Drop. Nothing better when I was growing up to go to the drive in (Not movie) and getting a chili cheese dog and a cherry Sun Drop. And that was with the cherry syrup squirted in. I had a trick played on my several years ago. Knowing I am a big fan of Sun Drop a friend bought a bottle of Squirt and poured it in my glass and told me it was Sun Drop. Saw the bottle behind him so I believed him. Wow! When you have your taste buds all set for Sun Drop and you get a grapefruity soda, you get lock jaw in a matter of seconds! lol

Thanx - i think i'll try some of the alternatives.

I do buy and sell on Amazon, and sometimes the shipping is higher so that the seller can make a bit on the sale. Amazon takes a cut, too.

I was thinking that Fresca was very similar to wink. I just by no name grapefruit soda for 87 cents for 2 liters. It's pretty well the same thing.
