Bacon-flavored Jones Soda, ewwww

Nov 4, 2010, 5:18 PM | Updated: Mar 28, 2011, 3:46 pm

Jones Soda thinks there’s a market for bacon-flavored soda.

This is the same Seattle-based company that’s given us turkey and gravy flavored soda for Thanksgiving. This year they have a tofurkey flavored drink for vegans, by the way.

Jones has teamed up with J&D Foods in Seattle for this tasty or repulsive soda. I haven’t tried it yet. Don’t think I will. J&D has several bacon-based products including baconnaise spreads, a bacon-flavored cocktail rimmer, porky lip balm and flap-flavored, bacon-imaged envelopes.

Jones officials say it’s their “duty to carbonate bacon’s salty goodness.”

“Our job is to give our customers the flavors they love, and they undoubtedly love bacon. Until now, it was impossible to guzzle your favorite breakfast meat, so this is a huge step for bacon lovers everywhere,” says Mike Spear in an email. He’s the marketing director for Jones, and they do know how to get media attention.
