rfduck – What I REALLY want is dehydrated food pills. Just add water.

Nicki – Bludgeoned with a Jones Soda bottle? Wouldn’t that be ironic?

I have had the misfortune of trying these…i vomited for 10 minutes. I feel the people at Jones have taken their soda obsession too far and need to be bludgeoned. I think the only person who enjoyed these “treats” was Star Jones…

I want my soda to taste like soda, not food. Also, it would actually suck if they made sodas that really DID taste like Turkey and Gravy and Corn. Why? Because then there’s no need to cook them, you just buy the bottles, and then all the food-making rituals of Thanksgiving disappear.

Toni – Gotta love the haiku, because sonnets are way too hard.

Amber LB – I have a couple Choxie bars sitting in my fridge from my trip to California, waiting to be reviewed. I hear really good things about them. If they aren’t good I’m just going to melt them and mix them with a generic brand chocolate bar for playing with my emotions.

Gia on Guam – Just like clothing, proper grammar is optional here.

Apparently so is proof-reading posts prior to clicking the “say it!” button.

YOU’RE a Haiku fool.

Like many other posters, I saw this gift pack on the 75% off rack at Target and passed on it. So glad I did, now! I did buy some Choxie chocolate covered raisins, those were good. Want me to send you some Choxie?

You truly are a brave, brave man Marvo. I love salmon, but hearing about a salmon pate SODA makes me ill.

Can’t stay away from the haikus, huh? ;)

Chris – Yeah, they were pretty lame…and they were hard to do. I kept counting 5-7-5…5-7-5…5-7-5.

Megan – I know, I know. Grey Goose review. It’s been a fun one to test.

Teresa – Because there are people like me who would buy these sodas just to torture myself. When Kevin Federline releases his rap CD, I will torture myself to review it.

Melanie – $4.99!?! Holy crap! I totally got ripped off. If I could reach you, I wouldn’t hit you, I’d give you a weak slap and giggle like a little girl.

Webmiztris – I have balls of steel? That would explain why I can’t cross my legs and why they keep dragging on the ground.

birdwoman – I heard about the halloween pack. The flavors sound better than this one.

dramastically – I totally dig creativity and I believe it totally deserves one point for being original and creative.

Uncle C – You know, these may be horrible to taste, but if they come out with a new variety next year, I will probably buy some off of eBay again. Mmm…Candied Yam Soda.

Karen – No, I just do what I’m told. Ask me to jump, and I’ll ask you, “How high?”

HexiumVII – I know. I know. I should upgrade to WP 2.0, but I’m so lazy. I know. I know. It takes less than five minutes to upgrade. But I’m sooo lazy.

Gia on Guam – Haikus are hard. :-(

A lot of guts needed for these. I bought a pack of the 2004 collection (Turkey & Gravy, Cranberry, Mashed Potato & Butter, Green Bean Casserole and Fruitcake Soda) and brought it into work with Dixie cups for all to try.

My favorite was not getting them cold either, room temp, just like thanksgiving :)

The Mashed Potato made most people gag, including myself. It was like salt, fake butter and Splenda. Just awful. Most people agreed that Turkey and Gravy was just salty. GBCass was….wait, they were all pretty bad except the Cranberry, even the Fruitcake had a baked smell/taste to it.

-UC

p.s. Marvo, that pack was the regional pack of Jones Soda. The National Pack has Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie.

I can’t believe you gave it 3 out of 5. Very generous.

Well, I found a bunch of jones sodas at halloween – candy corn, caramel apple, and two others that escape me. They were completely foul. Not to be confused with fowl, which would be just fine.

you drank the smoked salmon pate one? dude, you have balls of STEEL! I don’t think I could even taste that on a bet! one time when I had my mouth wired shut, my mom pureed a Whopper and I tried to drink it. NEVER AGAIN.
