I really dig the cool Pictures and all but I draw the line at meat tasting Soda's!
Oh, yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at least they could have offered turkey!!!!!!!!!!!I was hoping for cornbread dressing and sweet 'tater.
And cranberry sauce. :-D heh heh heh
Now sweet potato I could maybe see. But ham? When I think about ham, I think hot and a little salty-- not exactly qualities I want in a soda.
The egg nog might be interesting.

It could be worse if it was liver flavored.

Egg nog. It's getting time to start thinking about Fuzzis's Incredibly Sneaky Egg Nog (loaded with alcohol, but you don't quite know it until it's too late). The girlies and I are getting together over Thanksgiving. I might just have to whip up a batch to get our holiday season off on the right foot. :clap::clap:

Does anything come mixed with the eggnog flavored soda?
from Mac's article...
Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas.
There's your turkey drink, Scarlett. :)
JMB How did you get that quote to work? I can't make it work.

I really hope it is the real thing, I know that might sound strange but I want something like this to come out. I was dissapointed when the hairy potter candy didn't taste like what it said, they had dirt worms, toilet water. Did not taste nowhere near that, it actually had a pleasant taste which was very appauling to me.

I just type the markup tags in by hand.
Lemme see - -
Ah. There it is.
For its contract to supply soda (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Soft_Drinks) to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company -- fortunately or unfortunately -- prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.
Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.
Well - it worked for me but I can type 'em in quicker.

Keep a lookout for these:

Target sells Jones. They had some of the Halloween flavors in little 8-ounce cans in the aisle with the candy. Last couple of years they have had the gift sets of Thanksgiving/Christmas flavored bottles too.

More like gumdrop or gingerbread. I think they've done some kind of mint in the past. Jones makes some weird flavors, but they usually stick to tastes found in food (if usually not in soda).
Target sells Jones. . . . . . . . . I've seen 'em at Corner Market in Petal.

Mac, did you get it figured out?

Maybe they'll make a 'dressing' flavored drink, just dressing, without the giblet gravy, that's how I like it........

I buy one or two of these packs every year. I attended a really cool Christmas party in Jackson a few years ago and my gift (it was that number game where you can trade up and stuff) was the holiday pack of Jones sodas and some really cool shot glasses. Of course, after all the gifts were given, we all opened up the sodas, and tried them out. There was a pecan pie that year- it was pretty good the rest were terrible. BUT it sure is a fun thing to do at the party. SO NOW- when I am invited to this type of Christmas party, this is what I bring and so far it has been a hit every time I brought it. It is a fun gag gift and if you pair it with the nice shot glasses, it is not a bad gift.

My oldest daughter loves their drinks. If you send them a picture, they may put it on a bottle. So, we're planning on taking a shot of her and see if they'll do it.
