You can pay $17 for a sixpack where? Cite your sources!! People wanna buy this drink ;P I believe that may be from sundrop.org, including shipping. They sell a six pack of 20 oz bottles for $6 before shipping. Wyldphyre 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

About the New Haven, MO thing. Perhaps this should be referred to as the Rolla, MO region (at least in the popularity part of the article.) Rolla is the major town in the New Haven bottler's market, not New Haven itself, which may or may not be readily known to the casual Wikipedia browser. I've lived in Missouri all my life, and I'm not sure exactly where New Haven is. I think it's fairly close to Washington, MO or Union, MO. Beyond that, I believe that Sun-Drop's official site says that the flavor syrup itself is formulated in St. Louis, MO. Maybe that should replace the NC and New Haven in the first line. I will edit it thus. Wyldphyre 13:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wisconsin

It's pretty popular in Prairie du Sac - Sauk City, WI. It used to be bottled in Sauk City. I'll try to get a photo in a few days of the old bottling place. -- Al™ 00:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's populat in Janesville, WI, too. 24.183.47.252 05:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved talk

Someone had pasted discussion on the article:

Sundrop is bottled in glass bottles by Twigs Beverages in the city of Shawano, Wisconsin. In Arkansas Sun Drop is bottled and distributed by 7up RC Bottling Company of Paragould. In Gastonia North carolina it is bottled by choice.

It's bottled in a lot of places, none of which really belongs in the article. Although I haven't fiddled with it, the list of places where it's popular should be trimmed as well. The drink is available throughout much of the South, though it is more popular in some places than in others. (There is something of a widespread belief that Sundrop is the first citrus soda, which isn't true.) I changed the place of origin to St. Louis, where it was invented.

Note that despite the way the logo appears, the name is written "Sundrop" (as in the article title), and this is how it appears on the official website. I changed several instances of "SunDrop" and "Sun Drop" to match. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 14:12, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correction on Who and Where

Someone had pasted discussion on the article: Watch for the who and where to change. The article has seemingly been vandalized. Someone put it was invented in McMinnville, TN by Bobby Ray. It wasn't invented there, there's just a plant there, and Bobby Ray had nothing to do with any kind of soft drink; he's a local war hero. Keep an eye on it.
