Jones Soda: NO WAY!

Each photo on Jones' Soda bottles is submitted by visitors and fans of the company.  When I first saw this soda appearing in So Cal a few years ago, I thought it was charming.  I liked the idea of the fresh fruit flavors they had, and it seemed as though the soda was good-quality, with less than the usual sugar.  As somebody who drinks maybe one soda a week (or less), I can't pretend to be a soda connoisseur.  But I'm also that same someone who purposely went to the L.A. County fair for a FRIED TWINKIE.  And I got the Oreos, too, although I picked them apart and didn't care much for them.

Then I heard about the Thanksgiving soda.  You probably have, too.  Jones Soda is carried at Target (Tar'je).  I've seen that pack of soda there.  Now they're making Turkey AND Gravy soda (all-in-one).

Now, this is a Seattle-based company that offers "flavours" and also on their special edition soda page, has a "Desert Pack" of DESSERT sodas. Jones has now come out with a Seattle Seahawks fan pack, with "flavours" like dirt, turf and . . . hold on . . . Seahawk Locker Room Sweat.  Not just any sweat!  According to a spokesperson, the locker room "flavour" has an after taste of sweaty athletic sock.

I'm only saying this because last year we got the black Halloween soda thinking it would be "grape" flavored.  We used it to make some hideous "deserts" for Meredith's Halloween party (with Jello, eyeballs, etc.). It was so strongly-colored that just a small amount made the exact right color of "brains" in the brain mold.

Even more distressing, I remembered that disgusting Halloween soda. And even then, I bought a new four-pack of "Lemon Drop" Halloween Soda the other day. Ha, ha, ha, ha. BARF! So incredibly sour, it could kill you.

Maybe it might clean windows.  Or something.

According to the business reports, Jones' stock is falling.

BYE!
