Jones Soda
 
Anyone ever drink it? I think it is good. I love the caps. LOL:crazy:

glytch 12-13-2003 08:15 PM

There are some stores around here that carry it, and I love it. I think the appeal, however, is the artwork on the outside of the bottles. I was thinking recently about ordering a box of it from the manufacturer, as the stores around here only sell it by the bottle. Anyway, I guess my answer would be "yes, and I like it alot".

amonkie 12-13-2003 08:18 PM

Gotta love the orange creamsicle in a bottle. It's like a dessert drink! I'm glad it's gotten more popular, I see it in many more places nowadays.

PredeconInferno 12-13-2003 08:27 PM

I never actually found it that tasty. It seemed just too... sweet? I don't know if that's the right word.

I like only a little bit of it at a time, nowhere near a whole bottle. It gets to be too much.

Oh well.

dumbnutofak 12-13-2003 09:08 PM

It is sweet, my mom says it has a HUGE celcer water(sp?) type feel, then the xtra flavoring. I love the art work, I think that is what appeals to me the most. Depending on the pic outside, thats what I buy...LOL

shakran 12-13-2003 09:14 PM

the orange cream stuff is great. So is the green apple and the key lime pie.

The turkey and gravy. . .well I'll pass ;)

clavus 12-13-2003 09:16 PM

Anything named "foofoo berry" can't be bad.

rockzilla 12-13-2003 09:51 PM

I used to be able to get it anywhere here years ago, nowadays it doesn't seem so common, I've started to get DTs.

TheClarkster 12-13-2003 09:54 PM

I've never even heard of that stuff, but looking at it's page, looks like they have some interesting drinks. Only weird soda I drink is BrainWash.
Anyone know any random store-chains that carry these Jones Sodas though?

shakran 12-13-2003 10:02 PM

kowalskis grocery always has some.

Lunds has it as well.

I've even seen it in butcher shops.

i've found it more commonly in up-scale grocery stores than in the basic cub/rainbow/alpha beta stores.

Yeah I had that stuff.. its great!

irseg 12-13-2003 10:40 PM

I got that stuff at Sheetz all the time when I lived in Maryland. Green Apple is the best.

Sadly, here in FL I can't find anything except their fruit juice lineup at the Barnes and Noble. It's not bad, but dammit I want a soda.

dumbnutofak 12-14-2003 12:38 AM

Fu Fu Berry....My FAV! LOL UM up here in alaska Carrs(Safeway) and Fredmeyer has em. Green Apple is good too.

numist 12-14-2003 12:43 AM

Jones Soda is a very good family style company.

They have the small company appeal that Nantucket Nectars used to have, when they put a line about someone living in Nantucket on every cap.

Its good soda, we carry it here in the university restaurant I work at. They also ask for photographs to use on their bottles, they are all done by submission, which is very cool.

SecretMethod70 12-14-2003 03:49 AM

Only place I can ever find Jones Soda is at Panera Bread around here, but I love getting it every time I go there! Not a huge selection of flavors, but I definitely love the green apple. Anyoine near Chicago know of anyplace else I can find it to try out some other flavors? Panera only has about 5 different flavors if I remember correctly.

ChrisJericho 12-14-2003 04:10 AM

VERY EXPENSIVE !!!

Xiangsu 12-14-2003 07:00 AM

I love the green apple, I usually get the drinks from my local gas station.

tikki 12-14-2003 07:06 AM

Never had it. A lot of my friends love it, but until they get a Diet version of one of their drinks I can buy at Target, I doubt I will drink it. All that sugar makes me sick.

Chingal0 12-14-2003 01:06 PM

Yea, green apple is teh best! A friend of mine was sponsored by Jones for bmx shit, and we got free Jones all the time. Was like heaven .. . well not really like heaven, but it was dandy!

I have to agree. I like their marketing style, but deffinitely not my favorite soda.

greyeyes 12-19-2003 10:00 PM

Jones is great. if you like it you should also try 'the switch' they have a webpage at www.getoffthehype.com awesome stuff.

la petite moi 12-20-2003 11:55 PM

Jones soda is the bomb diggidy. Haven't had it in a LOOOOONG time though. I love the photos.

thingstodo 12-21-2003 11:43 AM

I like the stuff but only drink it when I'm at a Panera. And my boss' name is Jones, so I sent him a case for Christmas!

PoteMatic 12-21-2003 08:21 PM

They have such a range of flavors that most places dont have. I have seen the common flavors in some stores but none of the different odd flavors.

foofoo berry is a good one though

Tdoggg 12-21-2003 09:10 PM

Yup... Good stuff..! I like the orangecreme the best...

Jonnymax 12-23-2003 10:34 PM

ooohhh.... that switch drink looks good. Will have to look out for it.

TopRamen66 12-24-2003 09:42 PM

Its ok, but its so sweet it gives me a headache if I down a whole bottle at once.

Jadey 12-26-2003 12:06 PM

I've seen it, but only tried the root beer and wasn't impressed. I've almost gotten the orange stuff, but then decided not too. The packaging/label is definately an effective marketing tool.

Rubyee 12-26-2003 03:24 PM

Foo Foo Berry, Green Apple, and Cream Soda are the best.

We have them at all the grocery stores around here, and the ice cream shops. I guess there is one nice thing about living in Iowa after all.

blizzak 12-30-2003 01:08 AM

some of the flavours are a touch odd....like I find the root beer a little strange...it's like it's made with selzer water or something
regardless, it's a decent drink....only place I have seen it is at the train station about half an hour from my house.....
lousy canada :P

Jay Francis 12-30-2003 02:55 PM

I always fantasized about creating a drink for the art crowd called:

Frida Kohla

If anyone wants to do some graphics on this theme???

flamingpeach 01-02-2004 12:01 AM

jones soda rulz

fufu berry is my favorite :D

KWSN 01-04-2004 08:49 PM

I have to say... I adore EVERY SINGLE FLAVOR. Really.

But the Cream Soda is the best.

SpikeQX99 01-05-2004 08:03 PM

Jones soda is good stuff if you are tired of the usual soda flavors, like coke, etc. Where else can you get a Blue Bubblegum flavored sody pop?

And FuFu Berry with Rum is the best thing I can think of to get a drink on with!

Jetée 08-18-2009 01:43 PM

I should have replied to this thread 2-3 years ago, for that was the time in which I discovered Jones Soda (2005-ish).
I was the sole consumer of this brand for the first five months my local grocer carried them, so said a few stockies that worked there. It would have been discontinued had it not been for my frequent trips for more bottles and 12-pack cans. They were fantastic.

Orange & Cream Soda - pretty good; reminds me of the "Orange Julius" signature drink, which is heavenly. 7/10.
Ginger Ale - I expected better from Jones Soda than this ginger ale. I'd have hoped for more natural ginger flavour. 5/10.
Black Cherry Soda - Not bad, but has too much of an artificial flavour. 6/10.
Blue Bubble Gum Soda - Okay, but I was hoping for even more sweet bubble gumminess. 6/10.
Green Apple Soda - Bit too tart for me. 4/10.
Cream Soda - Great. Nice smooth flavour. My favourite of the bunch. 8/10.


My current choice consumption: Twisted Lime

Love the stuff, especially the cream soda. The real cane sugar makes it great.

wooÐs 08-26-2009 03:13 AM

Holy old thread.

I used to buy the sugar free black cherry. Loved it. But you can't drink it with food. It's like a dessert. Wasn't too hot on the green apple.

Leto 08-26-2009 04:30 AM

I just gave my 11 year old son the gears for going to the convenience store to buy a bottle. He went with $5 bought a bottle of Jones orange, and a pack of Reeses Peanut butter cups. He got back pennies in change.

Sat him down and had a discussion about the cost of things at the convenience store, and how going to the Valu-Mart (grocery) just at the corner, he would have paid a lot less.

His argument was that there was no Jones at the grocery store. I basically said that pop is pop, he could have bought orange crush, or sprite, or anything, it's all the same. The Jones stuff just pretties up the package to make you part with your money.

With the same money, he could have bought 2 orange crushes and the 3 pack of peanut butter cups at the grocery.

Later, I went to check, and the grocery does carry Jones, but you need to buy it in 12 packs!!


The little kids, they like the bottles.

I beg to differ on the pretties up the package, but I do get the lesson being taught to the child.

Just as a point of difference, Jones Soda uses Cane Sugar which is a lot more expensive than high fructose corn syrup.

I'd agree with you if the products were the same say, Sam's Cola vs. Coca-Cola.

Jones makes some good soda. There's another brand GuS which is also a gourmet/fancy brand.

Xerxys 08-26-2009 06:18 AM

^^ How dare you compare coca-cola to, well, anything!!

Never had jones soda, is it the same as italian soda sold at whole foods?
