 Since a/the moderator is chatting I'll put in my $.02 cents worth. 
 I was a student at Grossmont Community College back in 1966-67 and
 drank a lot of Fresca. It was only sold in cans there (which would
 depend on the local bottler, not the national company). It was taken
 off the market because they used an artificial sweetener, sodium or
 calcium cyclamate, that was suspected of being a carcinogen.
 The ban was lifted a couple of years ago and Fresca again hit the
 market, though they may well use aspartame now. It is still being
 bottled and sold here in Utah. (Bottled being a generic term - it
 usually comes in aluminum cans or plastic 2 liter plastic bottles.)
 The value of *any* old soft drink is usually well documented. Go to the
 collectibles section of your local library and check out their Coke
 value guide. (You could also do it at the neighborhood Barnes and Noble
 but that's rude. ) If Fresca isn't covered there find a Coke
 collector and they could point you in the right direction.
 I now return you to buying and selling...
