• s/b "veal flavored soda." I should've just gotten off the stage when I had the chance. 50 years ago, I would've been hanging upside down with a gravy boat in my ass, I know...
• Yay! Can't wait to taste 'em.
• The Dublin Dr. Pepper made with real sugar is some of the best stuff ever. Mmmmmm. My dad used to ask truckers at his job to bring some back for us.
• Don't think I'm ready for turkey-and-gravy flavoured beverages, let alone antacid-flavoured ones. The turkey-and-gravy is a faked flavour since it says the ingredients are all vegetarian.
• The veal favored soda tastes like milk.
• Kudos, kudos. I live in Texas and used to go out of my way to find the Mexican coke, basically the only caffeine-loaded cola without HFCS. After they started being out of them all the time I grudgingly went to Splenda coke. I'm happy to know about Dublin Dr. Pepper... I kept hearing people on the Internet saying Waco used real sugar, but when I was at a gas station in Waco the other day I checked and their Dr. Pepper had HFCS.
• God damn, just... no. My future brother-in-law bought a six-pack for last year's Christmas dinner. They -- especially the brussels sprouts flavor -- were without a doubt the vilest things I've ever drank, and I'm a pretty pisspoor homebrewer. And the sodas we had were all saccharine- or whatever-the-hell-fake-sugar-is-now-based. Take a look at the label; no corn syrup, but also no sugar. Fucking gross. Instead of Jones soda, spend your dough on some Old Crow. The flavor is almost as bad, but you won't remember tasting the Old Crow the morning after. Oh, and bah, humbug.
• You mean they're real? I assumed they were a joke. Ew.
• But, aren't those Jones flavors an annual joke? I, for one, give them credit for a sense of humor.
• All soda or pop is 99% marketing and 1% product. I think these guys a pretty clever. And some of their more reasonable flavors are pretty tasty. Good on 'em.
• ack! a=are I'd pay 5 bucks just to have a preview button
• I'm a huge fan of the Mexican Jarritos sodas (no corn syrup), especially the lime and the grapefruit flavors. After drinking them for a while now, I won't touch a Coke anymore (much less a nasty Papsmear).
• Jones makes a tasty soda! The Green Apple one reminds me of my Granny Smith.
• Yes, they are for real... and probably a bit less horrible than you can possibly imagine, but seeing as how most of you monkeys have vivid goddamn imaginations I fail to see how that's a fault in my argument. And yeah, the marketing is clever, but fuck all that... give me a Reed's already. No retarded hipster "yeah-we're-marketing-to-you-but-you-know-that-because-you-know-that-and- -we're-really-OK-with-you-knowing-that" bullshit, and they taste good. Better yet, make your own. (The guy makes making it look harder than it is, by the way.)
• Prefer my soda water with a dash of lime juice which seems to ward off both trolleys and brollies very successfully.
• This is... awesome news. I've always described Jones Soda as drinking a Jolly Rancher candy; the flavor is that potent. (And, no, I don't drink the holiday turkey and gravy flavors.) Since I don't drink alcohol, I am stuck finding my connosieur (or however the hell that's spelled) side with sodas. I beg and pled with any friends or family passing near the Dallas area to stop by Dublin and pick me up cases upon cases of that pristine Dr. Pepper. And I stop by Pop The Soda Shop (popsoda.com if you're looking for a big selection of different sodas) anytime I'm in the Phoenix area. Now I get Jones with no HFCS aftertaste? Hell yeah!
• The Salmon soda was worse than I could ever have imagined. That is all.
• Waiter, there's a bone in my drink!
• Quiet sir, or everyone will want one!
• Matt over at X-Entertainment does taste tests of the Jones Soda holiday flavors. Here's 2004 and 2005. I don't think he's done this year's set yet, though.
• excellent post as usual, Herr wendell. I for one welcome our Jones sodas overlords. Especially the splendariffic cream soda. And I will be on the lookout for that Dublin Dr. Popper. Pepper.
• The blue bubble gum flavor tastes like bubble gum. I mean it really tastes like bubble gum.
• The schnozzberries taste like schnozzberries!
• This stuff sounds disgusting.
• for BlueHorse To taste it is to Cough! Breathe deeply and cry Hold, enough!
• The schnozzberries taste like schnozzberries! Now you're just being silly.
• I would probably never drink a turkey-flavored soda. But my little monkey heart rests easier at night just knowing it's out there.
• I wish they made more diet flavors. I'm addicted to the black cherry. The cream soda's awesome, too. And I might treat myself once in a great while to non-diet, if they'll have real sugar. Jones is awesome. That is all.
