It's a weird phenomenon. In all provinces it seems to be pink, with the exception of Quebec where it's colourless. In the states it's beige-ish color. All taste quite similar.

Why is it I haven't been able to find a Cuban lunch bar in about 15 years?

Costco had it for a few months but now I've been to 3 different locations and it looks like they've stopped carrying it. Easily the best frozen rice dish I've ever had, with some Sriracha sauce it's amazing. But of course after I get hooked on them Costco pulls it and the manufacturer doesn't ship anywhere outside the US
Can you order from the manufacturer or one of the places they ship? If so, Reship.com might be your ticket to some previously frozen rice

Wait there's no AW in the US?

Owners of grocery store in Blackfalds always do cool stuff like import pop with real sugar, cherry coke, and weird snacks from all over. I'm the talk of the family once my cousins from Edmonton saw how cultured I was with my exotic sodas. I bet they wear their good shoes next time

White? That would be an odd colour for a pop.

I am actually kind of curious what flavor cream soda is supposed to be. The A&W stuff on the states "looks" like it is supposed to be a non-fruity substance, but other places it looks like it is based on strawberries or something.

The A&W stuff is vanilla flavoured.

Vanilla, is it not?

I miss being able to get the A&W stuff here. That used to be heaven in a glass. Jones Soda was a close 2nd, but never quite lived up to A&W.

Melon soda is my jam. So far, I've only seen it in Japan.

Also at Superstore. Just be aware that while the packaging looks very much like Cherry Coke Zero, it's probably closer to Diet Cherry Coke due to the sweetener used.
