(the "Company" or "Jones Soda" or "Jones"), announces today its limited edition holiday pack of five new seasonal flavors which includes: Green Bean Casserole Soda, Mashed Potato & Butter Soda, Fruitcake Soda, Cranberry Soda and Turkey & Gravy Soda.
"Our holiday pack takes the work, worries and cost out of preparing a turkey dinner, so our consumers can spend more time with their loved ones. We even included utensils," says Peter van Stolk, President & C.E.O. "We realized consumers are concerned about the 2,000 calories that each full holiday meal contains. That’s why we made our sodas zero calories and zero carbs. Now, you can enjoy all the mashed potatoes and butter without worrying about the carbs."
Ummm..... like 'ew'?
I think I'll pass and just have the real stuff, thanks.

Hmmm...It's probably gross but I would like to try it just to see how it tastes.

There is no way that people are going to drink sodas instead of having Thanksgiving dinner. What are they thinking?

The fruitcake and cranberry flavors don't sound too bad, but even I'd pass on the other three. @_@

That just sounds nasty, but it makes me laugh. Yeah, I might try the cranberry, but I think that's the limit.
Then again, it might not be that bad. When I was in Japan, they had this Gatorade-like sports drink called Pocari Sweat (cause it replenishes what you lose by sweating, I guess.) Disgusting sounding name, no? But it was one of the best drinks I ever had. *drools*

I've always wanted to try their turkey soda, but they've always sold out of it too fast! They should make more.

As an aspiring food product developer and sensory scientist, I'm both appalled and curious. I really wonder how their benchtop evaluation/consumer taste panels went. 0.o; In general, you do not mix 'savory' with 'sweet', due to the general perception of today's consumers. But hey, it's a limited holiday edition, and I guess they decided it's fine to experiment. Even if it's not successful, it's not going to threaten the whole product line.
