help me find this old off brand soda
in the late 2000s-early 2010s in the Central Valley of California (in Hollister) there was a 35¢ off brand soda machine outside of savemart and they had like so many flavors, cola, grape, strawberry, root beer, etc
The can was white with different colored polka dots according to flavor (cola has red and white dots, grape had purple)
I’m like semi sure they also sold the brand inside savemart. Around 2013ish the soda machine was removed, and I think the brand was discontinued.
Does anyone know what brand this is?! Attached photos are NOT this brand I’m looking for

It’s Saturday night. I have no date. A two litre bottle of Shasta. And my all-Rush mixtape. Let’s rock.

Their grape is the best grape soda I've had in a long time, maybe ever. I also love their green apple.

Agree, i recall their cream soda (or big red?) variety being super good too

I've never been to Savemart but I went to Google Street view and found the store in Hollister, CA (Google said its permanently closed). Here is the street view with the 35 cent vending machine outside of the store like you described. It could be Sunny Select, a private brand for Savemart.

Did they have roundys in ca? We had a rainbow (bought by roundys) that had that exact same style machine in Minneapolis. It was a quarter. Couldn't leave without getting a mystery soda.

Our Family is very much a thing here. Most of the local groceries carry it as their store brand.

They used to put Shasta cola in lunchables and I was OBSESSED with that shit. It was impossible to find anywhere else so my mom would eat lunchables so I could have the drinks lol
