    Earlier this week I walked to three different grocery stores to find some diet cola because the only things the first two had in stock were Coke and Pepsi. Never thought there’d be a shortage of store-brand diet cola.

        Back in the day, Cott was the #1 pop brand in Canada because they were the private label manufacturer for President’s Choice cola. I remember because they also sold their own branded pop in Fields. Cott’s Beverage got sold off somewhere, and more private label pop bottlers have taken the crown, but there is no reason why some of these pl bottlers couldn’t start a house brand.

        We are entering an era when the new Cott’s Cola might outsell Coca Cola because it’s the Canadian alternative.
