A friend who knows me well got a four pack of the “treat-sized” Jones Candy Corn soda and brought it in to work for me today. Good thing since I had not been able to find it at my local Target. A couple of notes:

1. It is Yellow. (FD&C Yellow no. 5 to be specific)
2. It smells exactly like good fresh candy corn.
3. It is as or more sweet than candy corn
4. It is really yellow.
5. The flavor is not quite perfect, but in some ways that’s a good thing since it has some nice orange notes that keep it from being a complete sugar bomb.
6. Did I mention “yellow”?

Anyway, fun stuff. Not recomended for daily drinking. Though if you can find some of their other holiday flavor, “Monster Mojito”, buy a case. It’s great stuff and this year’s cane sugar can only have improved it over last year.
