Gee honey, THAT'S GOOD HAM SODA!!
Enjoy a Refreshing Ham Soda

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham-and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete.

It even will be kosher, the company making it says -- including the ham.

Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of flavored sodas.

The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.

1. Dirt flavor, too (no kidding)
Jones does some funny stuff, especially around holiday time.

At least ham is an actual food--the Seahawks sodas weren't food-based. Yuck.

5. Yuck. That's a major league puke, like Linda Blair in the Exorcist.
Or Mr Creosote in Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life.

6. Awesome! Bring on the ham!
In my family, the holidays aren't complete without a merry ritual downing of Jones' horrible shit. I can't imagine what they think a Christmas tree tastes like.

Topping last year will take some doing, though; last year's Holiday Pack had Turkey & Gravy (salty, with a stomach-turning beefy midpalate), Pea (bitter), Dinner Roll (buttery), Antacid (very much like-and may have actually been-Pepto-Bismol tablets dissolved in water), and Sweet Potato (which sounded like it would be okay, but mustered a genuine thick, starchy tuber-like quality alongside the sweetness).

7. The KIRO weather man was joking about this last night.
"It's going to be a blustery and rainy night, folks. A perfect evening to curl up with a nice glass of ham soda!"

8. I'd prefer a bacon soda.
There's nothing that the taste of bacon can't improve.

(except maybe anal sex. That would be weird)

11. Yeow! No way!
I did pick up a 12 pack of their Green Apple Soda the other day.

Not bad - AND- NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! :puke:

Cane sugar sweetened- tastes much better.

:hi:

Though I haven't had berry lemonade yet.

20. Berry Lemonade sounds good.
Lemonade mixed with apple juice 50/50 is really
good, too.

13. They sure come up with some pretty horrible flavors
And still I sample them every chance I get. I know some of them are going to be really bad, but I try them anyway.

15. Their Halloween pack this year was funny as hell
Candy corn, strawberry slush, grape and sour lemon. Actually the grape rocked! Best grape soda I've had in a very long time. The strawberry was pretty good too. The sour lemon definitely was that - and not too bad as a thirst quencher after mowing the lawn. However, the candy corn blew chunks. It had a sickly sweet flavor and the color was like radioactive fluorescent yellow bile. Yuck.

19. We have a can of candy corn
Our daughter loves Jones so we're saving it for when she comes home for Thanksgiving break.
