Annual Food Queries: Throwback; Paczki

Shopping Advice…

I have developed a slight Mountain Dew Throwback problem — a love for a soda that I grew up on, with NO HFCs.  I avoid HFCs where possible.

But where can I find this tasty soda in Duluth?  Do you know of a gas station or corner shop that still has some?
