Purchasing American soft drinks in HCMC

They're sold in every supermarket (Co.op, Big C, Emart, Lotte, ...), convenience store (Vinmart, Family Mart, Ministop, B's Mart, Circle K, Shop & Go ...) and restaurant on every street in the city.  They're also sold at gas stations and almost every street food stand in almost every neighbourhood.

Coca Cola / Fanta and Pepsico products are available, although diet versions are rare or unavailable. I haven't seen anything as exotic as Barq's Root beer, or A&W in stores. There are definitely no A&W restaurants like there are in Thailand and Singapore.
A couple malls have imported food sections, Takashimaya and Giant in Crescent Mall might have some surprises.

Not Barq, but A&W can be found in Q3 and Bình Thạnh:  A&W

I grew up drinking Sá Xị Con Cọp (sarsaparilla from BGI with the picture of a tiger on the label, made right here in Saigon).  Didn't care much for it, but it was supposed to be a hip thing to drink.

I'm curious whether Squirt or Orange Crush can be obtained in Saigon.  I mostly drink Coke, but I've had a hankering for those recently.

Maybe this place has some. I was in there the other day and was amazed at the variety of imports they carry:

Annam Gourmet
16-18 Hai Bà Trưng, St, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh 70000

It's in the general area of the Opera House and The Caravelle Hotel.

I removed the phone number from the info, but if you click on the Google Maps link, it's listed there.

There's also an Annam Gourmet in District 2 in the Estella Heights building.  They have a lot of things from home there.

This place also sells the best fresh Coffee beans and ground coffee there as well. I just can not help myself when I go in there.
