Jones Soda

Those of you that know me fairly well or have hung out with me at my house - say, during a Saturday morning furniture-moving extravaganza - know or have an inkling that I often drink energy drinks like Rockstar or Jones Soda Energy.

I prefer Jones over Rockstar because it tastes better, but I have to admit that Rockstar will jack you up if you're not ready for it. (Like if you drink a can at 11pm, you won't be able to sleep until 4am.) Incidentally, Jones Soda Green Apple is the best tasting soda on the planet (you can find it at Target.)






I just read that Jones is releasing some new flavors for their Energy line of drinks.

Get a load of this:

Clare Bowles, a spokeswoman for the Seattle-based company, said the four literally named flavors -- Dirt, Sports Cream, Perspiration and Natural Field Turf -- are "pretty lifelike."
"Perspiration Soda is kind of salty tasting," she said, with a slightly higher sodium content than the average soda, with a smooth, "stinky football sock" finish.

A sip of Sports Cream Soda conjures up the experience of rubbing ointment into an aching muscle, while Natural Field Turf Soda is like "playing tackle football, and you get tackled really hard, you're down on the ground and you get a little bit of the grass in your teeth," Bowles said.

The only sweet soda of the bunch, Sweet Victory, has a berry flavor.

See more at CNN Money or at the Jones Soda Website.

Those people are definitely hitting that famously stout northwest reefer around the brainstorming table.

My favorite right now is Rockstar Juicer Guava... 70% real deal juice... goooood stuff. I'm not a heavy user (I stay up till 5 or 6am anyway)... I get one or two a week, sometimes none, but I really enjoy the flavor of em and there ain't no way I'll be sampling any of the new Joneses.
