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: It is Yellow. (FD&C Yellow no. 5 to be specific) [...]

Yesterday was a very good soda day. Jennifer arrived for our usual date night with my birthday present a few days early: A mixed case of The Sopranos soda. (Do follow that link and make sure to watch the commercial, it’s fairly funny. The timing is a bit off but it works.) I’m drinking my [...]

Jones soda is switching to cane sugar in 2007! (Found on The Soda Pop Blog, who I don’t always quite agree with but most of the relatively small group of people who are covering a topic I am highly interested in are generally worth reading.) Tags: pop, Soda

First things: For anyone who missed it the few times it’s made it’s way around the web there is a very entertaining video produced by EepyBird.com that replicates the (IIRC) Belagio fountain in Las Vegas with Diet Coke and Mentos. This morning in my inbox is their most recent newsletter mentioning that they’re putting up [...]

Just saw on BevNet that GUS has a new flavor: Dry Pomegranate Given their other great flavors, and the relatively favorable review on BevNet, I hope to see it relatively soon at the local Cost Plus World Market locations. No tag for this post.

BevNet has a fairly positive review up of a new line of sodas with some fairly interesting flavors: Rhubarb, Lavender, Lemongrass, and Kumquat. The brand is called DRY Soda, and I only wish I could get some locally. With a mixed-case price starting at $25, plus shipping, I think I’m going to have to wait [...]

In the last two weeks I’ve run into something a little different at two places that I’ve been for dinner. It appears that both the new Chatterbox Pub location in Highland Park and Signature Cafe in Prospect Park are serving sodas from The Shamrock Group. So far, the cola and the root beer flavors that [...]

BevNet’s new BevBlog has a theory on energy drink flavors that has more than an inkling of truth to it. I personally can’t stand any of the “energy” drinks that I’ve ever tried and basically have just given up on them entirely. Besides, they almost all have too much caffeine for any normal human, much [...]

Target’s Archer Farms line of food products now has a “premium” soda available, at least in the Twin Cities market. I saw 4 flavors today at a non-SuperTarget close to work: Sarsparilla, Ginger Beer, Strawberry Creme, and Diet Peach. I picked up a 4pack of all but the Diet and should have had a chance [...]
