Seattle, WA, U.S.A. – Jones Soda Co. (the “Company” or “Jones Soda”), announces today that it will introduce a new seasonal flavor in its popular Jones Soda line – Turkey & Gravy flavored beverage.

In time for the Thanksgiving holiday, Jones Soda will launch a limited production of the sugar-free and no carbohydrate Turkey & Gravy flavored beverage in the Washington and Michigan markets.

“We are really excited about the limited test launch of our new flavored Turkey & Gravy beverage. This seasonal flavor allows us to enter a new market segment, the meal replacement market. The new flavor will also appeal to new consumers, those who prefers a savory type flavor to the traditional soda flavors,” says Peter van Stolk, President & C.E.O. “With consumers becoming more and more health conscious, Jones Soda’s Turkey & Gravy flavored beverage is a zero calorie and zero carbohydrate beverage that can be served warm or cold with a full flavor that will meet and will exceed our customer’s expectation.”

I’d love to see their market research…

I don’t really think it could exceed my expectations…unless it has a biohazard warning on the label.

Coke? 7-Up? No, you know what I’m really in the mood for? A soda that tastes like turkey. With extra gravy.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that said around here.

“… and will exceed our customer’s expectation.”

I, for one, expect it will taste like crap. If it ends up tasting like crap warmed over it would, indeed, exceed my expectation, but I still wouldn’t drink it if they paid me. Well, maybe if they paid me enough …

That’s going to be one nasty burp.

Yanno,

I weigh a whole lot more than anyone should, and suffice it to say there’s not much in the way of food I don’t like.

Having said that, though, I’ve finally found something to put on The Short List.

YUK! :eek:

C’mon, I’ll bet most of us have known a few people who’ve had Thanksgiving dinner out of a bottle, though not this particular beverage.

That reminds me of the Archie comic where Pop hires Jughead to be his taste tester for new flavors of ice cream, and this one new flavor gets such high ratings that Pop orders a ton of it and people swarm in to the grand premiere of the highly touted new flavor just to discover that it’s…

Hamburger-flavored Ice Cream

Har! Those wacky Riverdalians!

I’ll send this crap all over the world

I hope that someone tastes my

Dinner in a bottle, yeah.

Sorry to the Police

Wild Turkey

'Nuff said?

jones? whats that? are they the ones that make the apple stuff? IDIOTS!

[Mudshark]

If I saw it, I would try it at least once. Then I would save the bottle to prove to people that it really does exist.

CNN says the batch available via their website sold out in three hours!

Not only that:

This isn’t the company’s first experiment in exotic carbonation. Fish tacos and ham flavors have also been offered as promotional soda flavors.

They don’t really do any, as far as I know. They’re one of those wacky companies that pretty much does whatever strikes their fancy. Seems to be working out for them so far.

I just told a friend about this, and she immediately suggested that this existed only in my head.

Friend: turkey and gravy flavoured soda? what have you been drinking? or smoking? CelynClutha: “exceed you (the customr’s) expectations” Friend: i want some CelynClutha: shit no - n ot me, some mad USA company CelynClutha: I kid you not Friend : of whatever you’ve been smoking or drinking, that is, not the turkey & gravy soda

Heck, she IS a U.S. person - she ought to have some clue what odd things companies can come up with.

Well, she’s now convinced it exists and wonders if we could make our fortune by stealing the idea for the specially flavoured condom market.

Except I bet even that is under development this very minute.

O tempora! O Mores!

mmmmmm - tempura, there’s one for the Japanese market, possibly.
