Is there anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area that you can buy TING
the Jamacian Grape fruit Soda in quantity - It is available online but
the shipping is too high.

After a long search, I discovered the bottler of Ting in Jamaica is
"Desnoes & Geddes" or "D & G" They are a subsidiary of Pepsi, and
Pepsi bottles their products in the United States. You should be able
to find out about ordering from your local Pepsi bottler in Hayward.

Pepsi Bottling Grp   
29000 Hesperian Blvd,Hayward,CA 94545 
Phone: (510) 781-3600

Here's another address in San Francisco
Pepsi-Cola Co   
200 Jennings St,San Francisco,CA 94124 
Phone: (415) 206-7400

A long list of available sodas

He's in Southern California, so, if you ever get down there, you can
pick up a case.

You can find complete information on D & G here:

Thanks for your question, and I hope this helps you find your
grapefruit soda!

I called the two pepsi numbers and they had no leads, did not
recognize TING. So I still have no idea where I can buy this in the SF
Bay Area.

Sunilb, I got the same run around from Pepsi that you did. Even though
they bottle the soda, they seem to have no idea where to get it. I'm
sorry, I even called Jamaican restaurants in San Francisco, to no
avail. If you want to withdraw or repost this question, I totally
understand. I really thought I had the answer for you, and I'm sorry I
was not more help.

SodaPopStop

Hi, I just found this online, and thought it might be of help for you.
It is in Los Angeles, but their shipping rates are very reasonable,
and they do carry Ting. It is under "Flavors," D&G Ting.

Actully a better place for ting if you want it shipped is
https://www.jamaicaplace.com/

These guys have a cheaper price $1.15 and shipping of about $13 (for
12). leading to a total price of about $27. vs. the sodapopstop which
is 1.75x12 + 20 = 40+

Anyway thanks for keeping a look out. Next time I go to Mango Cafe in
Palo Alto I will ahve to ask them how much they would sell me a dozen
for.

Sure, and if I come up with anything else, I'll keep you posted!

It was a good attempt, and I liked the researcher, but the answer
itself did not get me much closer to my answer.
