http://x-entertainment.com/articles/0920/By now you must've heard all about the Jones Soda "Holiday Pack," a collection of five gag colas that liquefy classic Christmas dinner favorites. Receiving nearly as much publicity as the November election, the set has been featured on virtually every news outlet and was even downed by Regis Philbin himself on that show that's halfway named for him. So enormous was the hype that mere hours after the Jones Soda website began selling the things this past Thursday, the sets had completely sold out, while the site itself exploded into ten trillion pieces from the massive traffic. Limited to a run of only 15,000, the Holiday Packs were also on sale at a few department store and food chains, now likely out of stock or lifted off the truck by mobsters endeavoring in curious initiatives. Originally retailing for a little over twenty-five bucks, the sets are collecting bids of up to and over a hundred dollars on eBay -- a hundred bucks for potato-flavored soda.
Like thousands of others, I was blocked off from purchasing a set off the company's website because even simple tasks become difficult when 42 million people attempt to do them at the same time. I won't tell you exactly how I procured a Holiday Pack, but I'm down one genie wish, and when I die, I owe someone really evil my soul. Just a few weeks old and already a classic, Jones Soda Holiday Packs will be remembered and spoken about even many years from now, as the sentimental types debate over whether Turkey & Gravy Soda tasted more like cat piss or an owl pellet. Folks, it's the hottest gift this season....
