It is though. There are asian marts everywhere and pretty much all of them carry melon soda. I've never been in a position in the US where I couldn't just go grab a melon soda in like ten minutes if I wanted to. I haven't had one in over a decade though because I stopped drinking soda.

I live in the south and I'm within 20 minutes drive of 4 different Asian supermarkets and all of them have melon soda.

Melon flavor is SO fucking good, im so passionate about proper melon flavored snacks

I assume its unavailability in the US is just because the flavor is based on the Japanese muskmelon (probably Shizuoka crown), and they just aren't grown here. It only became legal to import the fresh fruit into the US about a year ago, so they certainly aren't widely available or known. Any 'melon' stuff from the western hemisphere is going to be based on watermelon/cantaloupe/honeydew or some ungodly amalgamation of all of them

I hope that melon flavored snacks become more popular globally with time, especially with the recent melon import lift. Btw you can import a bottle of melon syrup and make your own sodas by adding it to seltzer water

Also look at this melon Frappuccino released this year in Japan, I would genuinely kill for it

So you've never lived in a rural area. The closest Asian market to me is like an hour at least.
