Thanksgiving is just a memory, and Christmas and Hanukkah are jus around the corner, and that means another season of interesting holiday flavors from our friends at Jones Soda. They've outdone themselves this year. For a limited time only, Jones is offering not one but two holiday packs -- one for Christmas and one for Hanukkah.
The Christmas pack consists of one each Christmas Ham Soda, Christmas Tree Soda, Egg Nog Soda, and Sugar Plum Soda. The Hanukkah pack consists of one each Latke Soda, Apple Sauce Soda, Chocolate Coins Soda, and Jelly Doughnut Soda. The holiday packs sell for $12.99. Sure, that's a bit steep for four bottles of pop, but you get a free holiday gift in each pack. The Jones Soda website says that in the Christmas pack you get a "very cool stocking stuffer" and in the Hanukkah pack you get a "completely functional dreidel." All eight sodas in both packs are certified kosher and are caffeine-free.
First and foremost, let me say that I have not tasted any of these flavors. Nor do I intend to taste them. I honestly cannot imagine taking a drink of Christmas Ham Soda. As for the Christmas Tree Soda, I have a question for the Jones people -- Is it supposed to taste like an actual evergreen Christmas tree? Or will people get lucky and it will taste like a Little Debbie Christmas tree? I know this question could be answered by actually drinking one of these, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. I won't pay $12.99 for a four-pack of pop. That comes to about $3.25 per bottle. Last year's Holiday Pack consisted of 5 bottles for the same prices as this year's pack. I know we've had a drought and gas prices have increased over the year, but I guess the Jones Soda people thinking giving the consumers a free stocking stuffer or fully functional dreidel will help ease the price-sticker shock.

I was watching Survivor Man the othere evening and he was drinking a "Pine Needle Tea". Les said it vital vitamin "C" in it. A real hit with the locals.
