| Quote: | SEATTLE (AP) ? Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham-and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete. It even will be kosher, the company making it says ? including the ham.
Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of flavored sodas.
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," Jones said in a statement. |
I don't think I'll be trying the ham flavor. Christmas Tree and Sugar Plum are the only ones that seem potentially good. Egg Nog could either be absolutely horrendous or decent.
Jones makes the BEST cream soda though.

Jones is the rockingest cream soda ever made. I actually like quite a few of their flavors. Just not the uber-sweet ones. I may try the ham, just in case it is never done again.

I can't imagine it ever being done again. The thought of salty soda is disgusting. LOL

I LOVE jones sodas. I can only get them at one place in my current town of residence. Sad to say though, I will not be adventurous enough to try this salty ham soda. lol.

I'll try it. Hell yeah! If only so that I can say I tried it, and/or complain about it.

Yeah, it seems disgusting--but I'll probably try it. I bet tons of people will try it.  I know I know--I said in the OP that I probably won't be trying it.....

Well for me, this is like an age old childhood joke. Ever hear of hot dog flavored ice cream? It was one of those things they talked about on "All That," but you'll never actually see in the grocery aisles. I have long pondered what kind of flavor this would actually be, and I think Jones soda is giving us the closest representation in reality that we will have, with a meat flavored beverage

When I hear "meat-flavored beverage", my mind defaults to "potted meat product" and then to THX-1138 where the TV is playing the beating scene. Weird.
