Last year, someone told me that Jones Soda had released a liquid “Thanksgiving meal” of sorts. It’s a novelty food item that I knew I’d have to drink at some point. I always appreciate when a “normal” flavor is blended with a “normal” food to create a potential culinary abomination. Like wasabi ice cream, for instance – many foods are worth trying once. Sometimes twice!
This afternoon, I was given an opportunity to try the 2006 Holiday Pack. A local grocery store had ‘em in stock, although the items had been officially removed from shelves yesterday. I begged and pleaded with the store manager to kindly fetch me a case. He obliged, and the rest (as they say) is history. I decided to record my reactions on video – for posterity.

Turkey and Gravy soda, Sweet Potato soda, Dinner Roll soda, Pea soda, Antacid Flavored soda – I tried ‘em all. What’s the weirdest food or drink that you’ve ever ingested – willingly? I wonder if Jones Soda will make a blog flavored soda next year?

Here is a video of Chris Pirillo trying out the Thanksgiving/holiday variety of Jones soda. I can only imagine people give these sodas to their enemies, or as a gag gift. I mean, who would really drink these? (Besides Chris). [IMG :)]

don’t understand the bit with Jim dressed as a penguin walking through the desert “pleading” for a sno-cone. Anyway, well done. Professionally executed. Worth seeing at your local multi-plex. Short bits: 4 year old Power Ranger foils crime Someone else YouTube’s their Jones Soda Holiday Soda experience Some awesome animation Bad Superhero Names (yes, they are all actual characters)

If you’re like me and prefer occasionally drinkin’ your dinner, pick up a bottle of pumpkin-infused vodka. Alternatively, check out Jones Soda’s Turkey and Gravy-flavored bubbly beverage, though you may want to make a well-informed decision andwatch a taste-test of said liquid entreefirst. Love geometry? And pie? Have your shapes and eat them too with this 20-sided cosahedron pie (pictured above), constructed using magnets and equilateral triangles cut from whole pies (mmmm…pie scraps).

them in the grocery stores or convenience stores where I could buy them. Luckily, Chris Pirillo got hold of a holiday pack and made a video of himself trying each of the five novelty flavors. This is definitely worth watching. Nice going, Chris! Jones Soda Holiday Pack 2006 – Taste Test

Chris….
You must have a strong stomach to drink those. Yuck.
Think I might stick to the tasty flavors.

Thank you, sir. Now, that’s comedy, reportage, and geekdom blended to taste. (or as my sticky keyboard would have it, “blended to tase.)

Brilliant reporting on an unlikely subject. Like ThisGuyDoug I’ve always wondered about those disgusting but strangely inviting flavors; thanks for giving us the lowdown. Almost as much fun as when Ponzi gave you a facial depilatory.

Hi Chris….love your videos. What type of video camera do you use for your videos? I’m in the market for one for my business and personal use. Thanks.

I think they “pink bubblegum” medicine probably was amoxocillin–good for ear infections and strep throat.

Your video was VERY amusing! Haha. I have the Jones Holiday Pack from 2005 which includes the ever-gross brussels sprout soda. One sip of that stuff and I almost vomitted! Its probably up there with the pea soda that you tried.
