you see the new Jones soda flavor? Smoked salmon pate.
even the owner says he can't finish a bottle. WHY MAKE IT THEN?

they also make creamed corn flavored soda, turkey and gravy, broccoli casserole, brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes.

I have no idea what creamed corn tastes like, so I might avoid that one.

Good call.

If you want a gravy flavored drink, why not just drink the gravy? :bugeye: Maybe he's marketing it wrong. (hmm...ya think?) He should be selling it to parents who want to turn their kids away from sweet sodas...if you make soda taste like brussels sprouts, suddenly plain water or milk or even tomato juice start to sound like tasty alternatives. :smile:
 
He is, it's a mom's pop. <_<
 
Am I the only one who is at all curious about these?

Sure, if my little sister was still gullible enough to listen to me as she did when she was 6 or 7, I'd be plenty curious enough to make her try it to see what faces she made.
