Dave prompted this one from his comment on one of my other posts.
I bought Jeff a case of the 2005 Jones Soda Pop this past Christmas. After we popped them open, I think he thought I was trying to kill him or something.
It was some vile tasting stuff.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the flavors:
Broccoli Casserole - Tasted Rather icky.
Corn on the Cob - Not horrible, it was kinda like drinking carbonated butter.
Pecan Pie - I wouldn’t die if I had to drink the whole bottle.
Turkey & Gravy - Imagine blending up your Thanksgiving Day meal, putting it in one of the dirty socks at the bottom of your clothes hamper, then soaking it in moldy gravy for a couple of weeks. After you’re done, pop it into the blender (including the sock), Carbonate it, Bottle it and Drink it.
Smoked Salmon Pat� - It was worse than the Turkey & Gravy. I gagged and nearly vomited after I got a little sip coupled with the sickening scent. (I just gagged while writing this.)
I found out from the Jones Soda Website that this was only the REGIONAL PACK! Turns out they also sell a NATIONAL PACK. It also has the Turkey & Gravy flavor but also includes Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie.
Can’t wait to see what flavors I get to buy Jeff next year!
Good News, we can be happy to know that while poisoning ourselves with the Jones Soda Holiday Brews, we were also helping support childrens charities:
“In an effort to provide more support for children�s charities, Jones launched two different holiday packs benefiting St. Jude�s Children�s Research Center and Toys for Tots, with the goal of raising $100,000 and $50,000, respectively.”
at the same time of raising charitable monies … many fell victim to their wicked brews … nearly exhausting monies for underinsured / uninsured persons for medical help.
I tried a couple — I wasn’t inclined to try more. They made Jaggermeister taste good and Everyclear taste sweet. I think Tequilla would be sippable after that stuff.
