Do you have a sense if it's difficult to acquire real Coke syrup? Or, do they pretty much shut out consumers from buying it?

It's not hard at all. Coca-Cola themselves won't sell to you, but that's just because they don't have any interest in selling single units to individuals. I've heard that some Sam's Club stores sell it, and I've also heard of people having success by convincing a local restaurant to just order them an extra box from their distributor.

Contact a local restaurant supply company, they'll sell the bags to you.
