Salmon-flavored soda
Yes, folks, it's real--our favorite small-time soda maker with big ideas about what the public is willing to buy has done it again (I got the article from a New Zealand site; thus, the Brit spelling and explanation of Thanksgiving):
Bottler offers salmon-flavoured drink
SEATTLE: For beverage connoisseurs tired of turkey-and-gravy or green-beans-and-casserole flavoured sodas, there's a new choice being offered this year by specialty US soda maker Jones Soda: Salmon.
Jones Soda, the Seattle company that scored a hit during the last two holiday seasons with its turkey and gravy-flavoured sodas, said it is offering the orange-hued fish-flavoured drink this year in a nod to the Pacific Northwest's salmon catch.
"When you smell it, it's got that smoked salmon aroma," said Peter van Stolk, chief executive of Jones Soda.
The salmon-flavoured soda will be offered as part of a $13 "regional holiday pack" that also includes other unusual sodas such as turkey & gravy, corn on the cob, broccoli casserole and pecan pie.
While those five bottles will be offered locally, Jones Soda is also selling its similarly-priced "holiday pack" of turkey and gravy, wild herb stuffing, brussels sprout, cranberry and pumpkin pie sodas across the country.
Thanksgiving, a US holiday that falls on the fourth Thursday of November, typically features a dinner with turkey, gravy and other condiments.
Van Stolk, who built his Seattle-based soda company by selling traditional sodas as well as exotic flavours such as green apple, bubblegum and crushed melon, said that "the most important thing (about Jones Soda) is that we can laugh at ourselves."
Asked whether he liked his new salmon soda, van Stolk said: "I cannot finish a bottle, I just can't."

Geez. I I thought Aspen was bad...
Salmon soda might be just what's needed as a taste test comparison to help launch NicoShot.

I tried it, and it was horrible. Check it out on my blog.

Nice work, McFatty! I would've been tempted to just donate the case of soda to Toys For Tots, too, but that would've been cruel.
