I understand your fears and I recognize that one of two things could be happening here: either the man is real or the man is a construct of a really freaked out mind (a delusion, in other words). Personally, I believe that even if this is not real, your condition is only as bad as you choose to allow it, complicated by the strength of negative emotions such as fear.
You can't (and I won't) assume that he is not real without putting your family at risk, and you can't assume that he is real without putting your own mental health at risk. First things first, soda is cheap, so definitely switch it out with a duplicate which you know to be safe, even though I am inclined to think that the soda is fine.
Secondly, don't tell your story as fact (or even think of it that way, yet) or people will start questioning your sanity, but instead require at least three other already highly trusted witnesses, including at least one who your husband has trusted for several years, to report the same story to you with other witnesses to verify the story. You need several *real* people (long, stable, social friends) to provide you with consistent observations; you need to see what others see without the influence of your own perceptions. Keep a digital or polaroid camera on hand, and have others verify the picture that you think you are seeing. Let people know that you are seeing crazy things, and you are just making sure that you aren't crazy. Keep your cool, and don't draw negative attention to yourself.
Seriously, if Larry didn't see "the kreep" at K-Mart, then you'll be best served by dismissing the observation for now until it has several objective, non-contradictory evidences. You need several independent witnesses or evidences to confirm really strange/freaky events like these. Restrict yourself to absolutely no more scary or violent movies, no more news (it's usually very negative). Actively fill your time with meditation (a clear mind), with Yoga for stress-relieving peace, with social interactions, and with solid, long-lasting confirmations of out-of-the-ordinary (wierd) observations.
Do whatever it takes to set you mind at peace, because being freaked out is never healthy in any situation for either the body or mind, or for one's social standing. Don't let yourself become isolated in any way from society; they are our only sure anchor to sanity. Avoid extreme measures to protect yourself, and avoid "looking for reasons to fear," i.e. don't keep on the lookout for "kreepy dudes," because your mind just might create one.
Definitely see a psychologist or psychiatrist to resolve the issue of a freaked out mind (which really is quite understandable), and to get some good medicine to help with maintaining a peaceful, but alert and rational mind; the medicine should decrease anxiety with a minimal affect on your ability to think rationally (our only real defense and power in this world, but sometimes a "double-edged sword" also).

Do the normal things that you do . When you see the creepy dude, don`t freak out or go pale . Stay cool , and act normal .
When you and your husband , go home from K-mart, and the dude follows you both, suddenly stand still where you are , and if he`s a normal dude , he will pass you and walk where he needs to go .
If he`s really creepy , he will stand much farther than you .
When you decided to suddenly stand still , don`t let him guess that you`re afraid .
Example : You and your husband are walking towards home , and the creepy dude follows you , shake your head in a certain way towards your husband , and than suddlenly stand still ,and point to the boardwalk
- Look , a penny !
The creepy dude has two options :
1. To be seen by you and your husband , and than act like a normal pedestrian and get out of your sight
2. To get out of your behind view , and get the message that he has to scram .
I hope my advice will help you , or at least get for you a starting point .

you should have told him from the beginning, but I would throw out the pop and tell him everything....if Lary is a cop let him deal with it....it might be some crazy nut that he arrested once looking for revenge!

I think you should call the police and tell them your story. They will come right away to help you.
