Jones Soda Holiday Flavors
« on: December 16, 2007, 08:47:42 pm »
After trying out the Jones Soda Thanksgiving flavors 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.

Hell yes, LFM. Gin is another reason why Kelli thinks we must not be 100% identical. She loves it, I hate it.

I can handle neither gin nor most Jones Soda flavors, regular or extra-weird. I WANT to like Jones Soda, though.

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.
