Okay, I bought a bottle of Jones’ Bacon soda the other day and tried it yesterday along with my nephews. It definitely had a…porky smell. Sweet, smoky and strong.
As to the flavor. It was less bacon and more ham. Ham juice would be the best description. Carbonated ham juice. Sparkling, syrupy sweet ham juice. One sip was enough. The second sip was too much.
My conclusion: bacon can work in a lot of things* but soda is not among them.
Okay, almost everything.
So…Canadian bacon soda?
Maybe it would be popular up north eh?
My brother once bought me the Thanksgiving Meal selection of Jones sodas. One of them (brussel sprouts, maybe?) was especially revolting, but they were all completely undrinkable. There was some weird ingredient in them all that tasted like what you’d vomit after eating too much motor oil: it was both pukish and chemical-y. After one sip, it made me literally gag just to watch someone else try them. Among the foulest things I’ve ever put in my mouth.
