Seriously. I tried looking for store-brand sodas in cans and it's basically just ginger ale and seltzers/club sodas in cans here. Have to find a soda syrup wholesaler and getting a water carbonizer to even attempt to have an alternative, which isn't a necessarily small ask of a single person for one food item.
Interesting. Here the local Kroger brand and Safeway both offer full ranges of own-brand soda. Sometimes even flavours (cream soda, pineapple) which have no major brand offering.
Maybe they sub-contract to the local independent bottler so the range varies by region.
it's kind of an edge case, because kroger is the largest supermarket grocer (by revenue) in the US. and 30% of that revenue is from sales of their in-house branding. the only two larger retailers are amazon and walmart, which are international. kroger is only operating inside the US and only in 35 states. it's a beast.

I switched to Costco fizzy water to lose weight. Chug it fast enough your brain sorta tricks you into thinking it's sweet.
I like to get the off brand stuff you find at corner stores/mini marts idk what you call them.
