Try any hispanic market. They usually carry soda imported from Mexico. These are sugar-sweetened and taste different than US syrup-sweetened ones.
Apples. Yum! Anything crisp and crunchy is good in my book. Anything named "delicious" is as deceptive as any island named "Greenland." If you like Fijis, try Galas and Braeburns as well. To pick a crispy apple, push it with your thumb. If it makes a sharp, crispy sound and the flesh pushes back in one sharp move (like pushing styrofoam), it's a crisp apple. If it makes a softer, more continuous sound and the flesh pushes back not-sharply (ie, as if you were pushing a hackeysack), then it's a mealy apple.
