Weird-News: Ham-Flavored Soda

[arniejolt]

But wait, it gets better...from CBSNews (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/09/ap/strange/main3482490.shtml):

(AP) It's rare to find kosher ham. Rarer still to find it carbonated and bottled. Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, said Friday that it was shelving its traditional seasonal flavors of turkey and gravy this year to produce limited-edition theme packs for Christmas and Hanukkah.

The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.

"As always, both packs are kosher and contain zero caffeine," a Jones news release noted.

The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.

Jones' products feature original label art and frequently odd flavors. Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas. For its contract to supply soda to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company _ fortunately or unfortunately _ prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.

Jones also makes more sedate flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.

**** yes.. I love Fufu Berry.

[Daesania]

That's my favorite. When i have 5 bucks i feel like blowing, I go grab a 4 pack of fufu berry and drink them all in a row. I then promptly throw it up because of all the sweetness and carbonation, but its freaking worth it.

Jones Soda? Never heard of it :confused:

Jones soda is pretty well known for this type of stuff, so idk if this qualifies as weird news, just some nasty soda.

[Daesania]

Jones sodais the best, but they've been doing this, along with Turkey Gravy, and Pumpkin Pie soda for the last few years.

I sent my dad the Holiday Dinner pack for Christmas last year. The worst of the bunch, antacid-flavored soda.

Really??? Jones Soda is always around half the price of everything else around here. :S

The regular glass bottles are what I am referring to. Also, we don't seem to have a very large variety of Jones around here (though I'm not sure how many different flavors there are to begin with :P).

[Daesania]

i've seen roughly 20 different flavors, but yeah, they're 4.50 for 4 pack of jones bottles here.

I guess there's some truth to the old adage. There's no accounting for taste.
