Rio Soft Drink

Hi, just wondering where to get hold of this drink? We used to buy a couple of cans at a chippy but never seen Rio cans in supermarkets (unless I'm missing something:)). Thanks!
:beer: Thank you to everyone who give their time to post comps on here - here's good Karma back! :T

    ASDA sell it. Its not in the normal drinks section but near the ethnic foods.

    Tesco may be the same.

    EDIT: I may be getting mixed up with Rubicon but not sure. It may be next to the Ting and Ginger beer in Jamaican section

    I think asda is just rubicon.
    my Asda is.
    I have seen rio in some small independant news agents.

    If chips and independants sell it. If you have the likes of a makro card they may be sold at cash and carrys.

    You can buy it direct, but it works out at about 65p per can.

    EDIT: Forgot to add
    Rio is also available from:
    Booker, Costco,
    Bestway and Hancocks
    As well as many independent Cash & Carries.
