Jones Soda, Limited Edition Candy Cane Flavor: Review

Carbonated Listerine Beverage Anyone!?

I like soda. I know I shouldn't drink it, I know it is bad for my teeth, it contains too many calories, and it is as unhealthy as a drink can come. I still drink it though. I also still smoke cigarettes...and drink coffee, and I participate in a slew of other things that are naughty habits.

I have never really bothered much with Jones soda, only because they tend to bit a bit more expensive then my standard Coca-Cola soda.

Jones has always been interesting to me though. They have used customer created photos on their bottle labels, and have ever ran interesting creative contests. I would of loved to of gotten my mug all up on a bottle...but, not such luck.

So I never bothered drinking their soda. They won't put my face on a bottle, so I'll go on a self Jones strike.

Till now.

I'm a freak when it comes to limited edition. If something says 'limited edition' I feel like I have to hurry up and buy, buy, buy, before the product is gone. Last night while browsing my local Target Jones Soda lined a bottom shelf down the Christmas isle.

The word Limited Edition is what sunk into my retina first. Then the words Candy, and Cane.

'Oh muy interesante!' 'Yo quiero, yo quiero!' (Very interesting, I want, I want).

So here we have it, limited edition Candy Cane Jones Soda. The 4 pack came to $3.99, so it felt like a somewhat of a deal $1.00 a soda.

The Candy Cane flavored soda came in a glass bottle containing 12 ounces of candy cane flavored soda. The bottle is semi-cool looking, but nothing spectacular. I was more interested in the flavor.

The soda is a light pinkish red color, and it looks pretty unique, and yummy.... or... so I thought anyway.

The Taste-O-Meter-

Dy-NO-Mite!!!! It was a peperminty explosion of pure crap-olla in my mouth. A total disgusting and morally wrong flavor. Candy Canes are good, but not when there is bubbly.

Candy Cane Jones Soda tastes like hell. It's like seltzer water, with peppermint flavoring added to the mix. It is horrible, and wrong.

In order to enjoy this crap they call soda, one must have some sort of alien form taste buds, because this crap is nasty. It's like drinking carbonated Listerine.
