Many US eBay listings are vintage collector cans, not drinkable stock. Read each listing carefully.

Professional insight

Specialty soda importers look at freshness and shipping first. Cans travel better than bottles over long routes.

  • Check the best-by date before buying by the case.
  • Ask how cans are packed against summer heat.
  • Look for an English import sticker on the case.
  • Bahamas trips: pack cans in checked bags, not carry-on.
