If it's not in a glass bottle, it's not the original formula. Coke bought the name years ago and made their own version. The glass bottle is the only way to get what generations grew up on. Not sure how far north or east it goes, but the wife found some on the AZ/NM border years ago.
When we go to visit her daughter in VA next year, we have to figure out how many cases we can bring with us in the car.
Here in Quebec, there's nothing really unique. Aside from poutine. Everything else, is either imported goods, or some cheap rip off of it. Right now I'm drinking a powerade, that's made from the coca-cola company, and manufactured in Toronto lol Do we have nothing original here. Molson beer, and poutine, that's about it.

DR ENUF
Dr. Enuf is a brand of soft drink bottled by Tri-City Beverage in Johnson City, Tennessee. It is a lemon-lime flavored drink (though its taste is different from common lemon-lime sodas such as Sprite or 7 Up), and is fortified with several water-soluble vitamins. Its marketing slogan is "Enuf is Enough!"
Dr. Enuf's origins date back to 1949, when a Chicago businessman named William Mark Swartz was urged by coworkers to formulate a soft drink fortified with vitamins as an alternative to sugar sodas full of empty calories. He developed an "energy booster" drink containing B vitamins, caffeine and cane sugar. After placing a notice in a trade magazine seeking a bottler, he formed a partnership with Charles Gordon of Tri-City Beverage to produce and distribute the soda.
One interesting note is that one of the early advertised uses of Dr. Enuf, curing hangovers, coincided with Tri-City Beverage's other soft drink at the time, a drink mixer called Mountain Dew. Tri-City Beverage later sold the rights to Mountain Dew to Pepsi, but kept the Dr. Enuf brand. Dr. Enuf is available in original, Diet, Herbal and Diet Herbal varieties.
