After trying out the Jones Soda Thanksgiving flavors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jones_Soda#Limited_Editions)in 2005, I swore off their demonic themed beverages forever. Until now. I noticed a few bottles of candy cane flavored Jones Soda my aunt must have picked up in the fridge a moment ago and decided to try one. Bad idea! You'd think peppermint candy cane soda wouldn't be so bad. Nope! It really and truly is.
Still, I appreciate what they do. Quirky flavors, random fan-submitted pictures on the label, all that. Plus, like me, they're from Seattle. Extra cool. But boy can they trick a dude into drinking some nasty flavors.
I understand this year's Christmas pack includes Christmas Ham and Christmas Tree(!) flavors. Anyone tried those yet? Anyone have any idea what the hell I'm talking about?
-
I know what you're talking about.
However, I haven't the stomach... literally or figuratively... to try those abominatasodas.
I dunno, maybe Christmas Tree could be good, though? Just like a piney-minty flavour?
-
Ham flavoured soda? What the FUCK? That is super disgusting.
Jesus H. Christ on a candycane. I can't even handle drinking gin because it tastes like blowing a Christmas tree, and yet people want to make Tannenbaum flavoured soda? I do not get it.
-
I will continue to drink Jones Soda in regular flavors, but I refuse to drink anything that tastes like drinking the water from the Christmas-tree stand.
-
I'm with ya on that one, L-Money.
Gin is the vilest of all the spirits.
-

Hell yes, LFM. Gin is another reason why Kelli thinks we must not be 100% identical. She loves it, I hate it.
-
oh my god, Gin is lovely. Gin and Tonic is so good, oh my gosh.
-
I can handle neither gin nor most Jones Soda flavors, regular or extra-weird. I WANT to like Jones Soda, though.
-
I am pro gin, pro jones, anti holiday flavors.
-
The Green Apple tastes disturbingly good. I wish I could find the cherry without fake sugar. CUNT-Lime is good.
The local news radio station tried the holiday flavors this year. The only one I heard that wasn't horrifying was chocolate coins. Which I associate with beaches and boardwalks way, way more than holidays.

Chocolate coins on the beach? What beach is this? Chocolate coins are for Hanukkah, although I suppose there's no law against celebrating Hanukkah at the beach... but surely that's not when you usually go?
I thought salt water taffy was the traditional candy to eat at the beach. No, let me rephrase that - the traditional candy to buy at the beach and bring home and no one eats it.
-
Yeah, I'll admit that I was a little confused by that, too.
I've never had a chocolate coin at a beach or boardwalk, either, they were always a holiday candy that was both Christian-and-Jew-friendly... kinda non-denominational in basic form and if they had a Santa stamped into them they were for Christmas and if they had Hebrew letters on them then they were for Chakakhan.
Fried dough and Slush Puppies remind me of beaches and boardwalks, personally.
-
They always had chocolate coins as a whole pirate booty/nautical kind of theme at crappy boardwalk souvenir shops. They usually came in a little yellow net baggy but sometimes they would be in like a cardboard treasure chest. Usually with a net bag inside of it.
-
I started a thread years ago about these holiday Jones sodas many years ago, though I can't find it now...
I bought some Jones for the holidays, but the Vanilla Cola flavours only.
I love Gin. It is the drink of choice of the United Council of Melanie's.
-

I had to point that out because it's the first time I've laughed at an LFM post in awhile. That's funny!
Also gin = yucky. But I love Vodka.
-
I'm shooting for being in better spirits, yeah.
I appreciate the noticing, I sincerely do.
-
We always got chocolate coins in our stockings when I was a kid.
Gin. Ah gin.
My first dance with the sweet seductress that is ethanol. She taught me the subtle pleasures of a G&T on an early summer's evening and the horrors of room spins, dry heaves and pleading for merciful death. All in the same night.
High school graduation night. Quart of Beefeater. Haven't touched the stuff since.
-
Gin's a funny drink because it affects you from the feet up. Knock back a few g&t's and you are fine having intelligent conversation with your friends. But when you stand up. Waaaaay oooooh. I thought I was fine when I left the party and only two doors down from my house. I made it... halfway. When I woke up the sun was rising, I had passed out behind my neighbors cars.

I totally missed that until I saw AlohaDawg's post. Sweet mercy Jesus, I almost shat myself.
On the chocolate front, I will eat almost anything chocolate, but I may have just met my match in the form of the Double Chocolate Cake at the Holiday Inn, Philadelphia Airport. That cake wasn't rich... it was Bill Gates. It was Sam Walton. It was the baby of Bill Gates and Sam Walton, only in chocolate cake form. It's either going to keep me awake tonight and for the next two weeks, or my body will just reject it outright and I'll be hunched over the toilet in a minute.
I LOVE chocolate stuff, but damn.

D'jever think it's not the overabundance of chocolate, but maybe somebody gave you the stinkpalm?

Hahahaha....I'm sorry, but Mr. Haus has dysentery.
Every time I glance at the title of this thread, I think it reads "Jesus Soda Holiday Flavors". I've no idea why.
-
CUNT-Lime is good.
The WHO and the WHAT now?!?
-
The WHO and the WHAT now?!?
Dammit, I got caught by one of the random filters. Let's try it again: CUNT-lime.
Straw berry - lime
-
Alllllllllllrighty then.
Back in like middle school, when Slice with Ten Percent Real Juice was on the market, we used to joke that there was a particular flavor of Slice they should come out with. Thought you were going for that, there.
-
Sorry for the bump, but didn't anyone try the Seahawk flavors? (https://ssl.jonessodastore.com/seahawkspack/code/) Mmmmm - delicious perspiration.
Also, I think the Jesus soda mixup might be caused by the timeless Jesus Jones.
-
I might be in a minority, but I don't want Hasslebeck's cream in my mouth.
-
It's okay, it just means that you ain't no Hasselback girl, you ain't no Hasselback girl.
-
Can'd, damn you.
-
It's okay, it just means that you ain't no Hasselback girl, you ain't no Hasselback girl.
Agreed... I almost felt dirty giving you that can, but we all do things we're not totally proud of.

You people don't seem to understand that if you keep giving him the cans, he'll keep doing things like that. He is the Pavlov's dog of TOUAMB in that regard, if the dog continually bit me on the leg every time I looked here.

Playoffs today! As perhaps this board's only Seahawks fan, I am contractually obligated make a joke about how the Redskins are going to be the one with Matt Hasselbeck's cream in their mouths.
-
Go Redskins!

I have the tiniest of leanings towards the Seahawks*... The last year they did spring training in Cheney WA, I took the day off of work and watched them practice.
* - Foots balling in General, but I grew up in WA, so the Hawks are unavoidable. I have, however, recently learned how pretty Hockey and Football are in HD. I imagine baseball to be very much the same, only nothing happens in amazing definition and clarity.
-
But would you consider yourself enough of a 'hawks fan to make an off-color semen joke?
Err, I guess you already did -- independent of your fandom.
-
Take it outside, boys.
-
So I took a sip of the Candy Cane Jones Soda I got for Mrs. Haus for Christmas, and it pretty much lines up with every other flavor of Jones Soda I've had so far - liked the one sip of it, but there's no way I could drink a bottle of it.
-
Wrong spot for this, but I'm nervous about Jacksonville.
-
yeah, jones soda is one of the things I don't like very much any more since I stopped loving things which are too sugary. It's like my body says "whoa, dude, the sugar? no way. you don't want any dessert. you want a sandwich, or some pasta. Eat another meal, man."
It is probably the one slightly healthy impulse I have, so, I just go with it.
-
Overeating isn't a healthy impulse. Just go for some fruit or something.
-
no, if I include that, I'm eating 3 meals a day. Normally I eat lunch, dinner, and late-night-meal. I am going to try to eat breakfast more regularly this semester, but I don't know if that will happen.
-
My advice to you, young man, is to drink more water.
-
I was treated to two packages of the "dessert" themed flavors this Christmas. Jones is definitely not the Jelly Belly of sody pop that they think they are. Of the four varieties--Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Blueberry Pie and Lemon Meringue--only Apple Pie seems to contain the appropriate cinnamon-caramel notes. Lemon Meringue starts weak but makes a workman-like effort on the back-swig. Cherry tastes like cherry gramma candy. Blueberry tastes like food coloring.

Nabu-- don't think I'm not aware of the communists (and women) trying to steal my precious bodily fluids just because I'm young. I have been properly educated by my high school Health class.
as I'm sure you are aware, I assiduously avoid any situation in which a young lady might attempt to drain any fluids from me. And believe me, plenty have tried.
-

I notice you avoid the young men, too.
-
well, i haven't really been in any situations where young men were attempting to drain my fluids.
-
Well, I'm sure if you took your mind away from your favorite bodily fluid for a moment you can think of times when other young men sought to get you so drunk that you puked - and really getting drunk and vomitting is a far more effective way to drain fluids from a young man... and also a good way to trick a young man into relinquishing any other bodily fluid you may want too. Which reminds me... to bring things slightly back on topic, the SO was so disgusted by his roomates piggish nature and tendency to take anything he put in the fridge that he confessed he wanted to jerk off into a bottle of Liz Blizz (http://www.sobebev.com/product_info/lizardline_lizblizz.shtml) and leave it in the fridge for one of them to drink. If you've ever had one of those drinks, you gotta know that no one would have a clue. He says he doesn't remember this at all, but I remember him mentioning this to me when I was drinking one, and it turned me off to them for life.
-
The last time I drank a LizBlizz was right after I saw Brain Candy.
I was young, and thought repetition was much funnier than it really is. I don't know how many times I said "The drink is made from Lizard cum."
