Salmon-Flavored Soda

Status: Real
image Just in time for Thanksgiving, Jones Soda is debuting salmon-flavored soda. It's a publicity stunt, but it's real. They boast that "When you smell it, it's got that smoked salmon aroma." Yum. Just what I want my soda to smell like. They've also got other thanksgiving-themed sodas that come together in a holiday pack: Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, Pumpkin Pie, Broccoli Casserole, Corn on the Cob, and Pecan Pie. You won't have to eat dinner at all. Just sample sodas all night. (Thanks to Big Gary for the link.)

Has anyone tried any of this stuff? What's it like? Salty? Sweet?

Ew. I love their soda, but I would not try these.

These are the same people that brought out the xmas sodas (was it last year or the year before?)

There were four, I think you listed them
Turkey and gravy was one
I think sprout was another
Probably cranberry
and the stuffing one, but I'm not sure.

Might be a good way to wash down that human flavored tofu mentioned a few months ago.

It tastes a little like HORCHATA...

I'd be a little more willing to try them if Jones' regular sodas weren't overpriced crap.

I must admit I bought the holiday pack, which has 5 flavors: Turkey and Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, Brussels Sprouts, Pumpkin Pie, and Cranberry. The last two are the only ones I ever would have considered as soda flavors.
Once I've tried them, I'll give you a review. I'm saving them for Thanksgiving. Not necessarily THIS Thanksgiving.

My granny and I saw an ad for those. We both thought they were fake untill you posted this Alex.

One of their Halloween flavors was Candy Corn, and I still have one 6 oz. can (from a 4-pack) left if anyone wants it. Most of the first three cans ended up dumped out, even though my 23 yr. old, one of his friends and my 11 yr. old son all tried very hard to finish them.

I have, in fact, tried last year's holiday pack. Turkey and Gravy, Green Bean Casserole, Mashed Potatoes and Butter, Cranberry Sauce and Fruitcake.

Oddly, all are "sweet", but calorie-free, as they are sweetened with aspartame. And all are awful, in my opinion.

The turkey and gravy tastes like greasy gravy that has congealed on the top of the gravy boat. It even leaves that odd, oily feeling in the back of your throat.

Green bean casserole tasted - green, I guess. With an aftertaste of French's fried onions.

Mashed potatoes & butter was kind of like the hot buttered popcorn Jelly Bellys, but salty and nasty.

Fruitcake - oh, Gosh, what a horrible thing to have in my mouth. It tasted like a glass of rum that had a Tootsie Roll melted in it and some baking soda stirred in for bad measure.

Cranberry sauce was the closest thing to a real soda, but even it was odd and unpleasant. Bitter, like cranberries, but cranberries that have spoiled...

I can't wait to try next year's!

Yikes. :sick:

I tried the holiday pack. The flavors weren't bad, but Jones Soda's decision to use artificial sweeteners in all the sodas really ruined them, in my opinion. It gave them all that disgusting, fake-sugar aftertaste. They should have sweetened them with real sugar.

So they could be gross AND fattening?
