Weekend Part IV - Jones Soda...

I forgot the reason why and what we were doing, but Stewart and I were looking for this Jones Soda Holiday Pack last year:

The flavors are:

Pea

Dinner Roll

Turkey & Gravy

Sweet Potato

Antacid

A few weeks ago I ran into Stewart and he actually found the holiday pack and bought two. One for me and one for him. Steward wouldn't tell me if the flavors were any good and said I would have to judge for myself.

Not being a selfish person, I waited until Aya and Dawn were free so we could all sample it together.

Up first PEA flavor.

This was not a good sign as Aya was the first to drink:

It was pretty darn funny but no one wanted to go next. I sucked it up and yup, it pretty much sucked. My old office mate MAK attack used to make homemade pea soup. She always offered me some and I always said no, but one time she forced me to try it. It tasted like the soda...YEEECCH!!

I figured Dawn, who eats all sorts of wierd stuff would like it but she didn't like it either. All three of us gave it three thumbs WAY down!

The next course....Dinner Roll Soda.

We rotated the order this time. I was up first. It really wasn't so bad. Perhaps the best of the bunch.
Dawn was a happy camper as well. Could it be anything was better than the PEA soda?

Aya is still not liking any of the flavors.

On to the main course....Turkey and Gravy!


HAHHHAAHHA!!! Self explanatory.

Aya makes the same face when she smells farts!

I actually thought it was decent....until the aftertaste hit me. Good thing Aya took the picture before I made the yuck face.



Dessert time. Sweet Potato.


Phew! Anything is better than what we have had so far. I actually didn't like it much.

Dawn, "Not that bad."

Aya liked it....but then she likes Sweet Potato....and bean pie.

After the meal we all needed some Antacid flavor:

This one actually smelled like Antacid. The others had no real smell to them. Sadly it tasted like Antacid.

Good god. That is just not right. It was like a watered down-carbonated pepto-bismo.

Aya had stomach problems and is always taking Pepto, so this was nothing to her. She liked it!

Definately interesting. Would I drink it or buy it again? No way!! I wish I had them at a happy hour night because I think people would be straight gagging if they drank this stuff with their booze.

I suppose if anyone needs gifts out there for the hard-to-shop for people...get them the Jones Soda Holiday Pack. I am pretty sure no one has tasted this stuff before!
