I've got an odd request, I'm looking for partial bags of Coke Zero and Sprite Zero syrup. I need maybe a pint or two of each. I can buy it online, but it's like $75 for a 2-1/2 gallon bag, which is like a lifetime supply when I need just a little.

It has to be Coke Zero & Sprite Zero, can't be "Cola" or "Lemon-lime".

Anyone here have a restaurant where the soda fountain could use a bit of cleaning out of old inventory? Work in the beverage industry, or know someone who does?

Used to sell fountain syrup at business costco, but haven't seen it lately.
But I haven't been looking.

Edit: I wouldn't use opened fountain syrup in any food product I was giving to anybody I liked.
Could be moldy or God knows what.

Edit: Call a restaurant and see if they can pour you out a few bucks worth.

Me either. This is going into a calibration rig I'm working on. It's never going to be consumed by anyone.

Bag In Box syrup is sealed, with a valve that doesn't allow flow unless/until the proper connector is fitted, not allowing contamination. Can't really just pour out anything.

Figals aren't used anymore, except in extreme circumstances.

Diet syrup is almost like water, whereas sugar based syrups are considerably thicker...The ratios are different based on the product, so, I'm not sure what he's trying to calibrate?

My last job was maintaining/installing co2 based soda dispensers, and related equipment.

There are both Coke and Pepsi facilities in Fife. You may be able to beg them for some stuff....but due to that L word (liability) I doubt they'd give you anything for free, if it's expired or anything.
