I'm still trying to figure out how sugar cube sales might be political....
I don't think I bought any cubes since I was in grade school and needed to build an igloo for a school project. LOL. I know my dad sometimes had them in the cabinet in recent years. So, I guess they are a still available. I normally don't put any sugar in my coffee. And on the infrequent occasions that I have tea, I prefer honey.
I'm guessing the price question varies by retailer. I know some are different from online price when you go buy it in the store. And that can be higher or lower. Makes it tough to compare prices. I would be very surprised if any were 100% same across the country.
