They may be cheaper in the store but they don't sell their "special" packs in stores. The only way to get them is to order them from Jones usually. As for your skepticism of the real cane sugar bit, if they list pure cane sugar in the ingredients (and they do) then that's what they use. If not the FDA wouldn't allow them to sell their product in US stores.
$10.99 is a bit much for a good six pack of beer. I just can't pay that for soda, even if its got major geek cred.
I'm not sure what you consider good beer, but $11 would be a bit light for my tastes.
On Topic: The Thanksgiving set was nasty in an awesome way. There are some things that just should not be tasted in fizzy form, and most of them were of those things.
An "inverted sugar" is simply a compound sugar that has been broken down into its components.
For example, table sugar (sucrose) is made of two molecules tied together: A glucose molecule and a fructose molecule. When you turn it into an invert sugar, you're simply taking those molecules apart. Curiously, invert table sugar is sweeter than its granular form. The easiest way to make cane sugar an invert sugar is to mix it with water and boil it (this makes simple syrup). I'd assume any soda that uses real cane sugar and processes it with heat is going to produce an invert sugar.
The truth is, however, an invert sugar is no worse for you than an equal amount of its base form. Unfortunately, as CB showed us in this post, even pure cane sugar is as bad as HFCS for the body.

And aren't the sodas cheaper than 10.99/18.99 in an actual store?

It's "inverted sugar," a sort of manufacturing of the sugar, I think to make it more like a high-fructose-corn-syrup.
I don't really know the details, except that I've glanced online saying it was as bad hfcs.
To be fair to Jones, I've only had the rootbeer, and in the can form, and it was better than average, but still no where near the best.
