The Jones Soda Halloween Collection!

Okay okay, you can stop e-mailing me, I got them I got them. Exclusive to Target, it's the Jones Soda Halloween Collection, a series of four fine soft drinks ranging from "Caramel Apple" to "Candy Corn," and yeah I've probably got 24 hours to live. Actually, they're nowhere near as offensive as the flavors in last year's Holiday Pack, but it's just more proof that we should always think twice before drinking from cans with pictures of goblins on them. If interested, they're cheap, on borrowed time and are absolutely going to be the cause of many "HAVE YA HEARD ABOUT DEEEEES" conversations this Halloween season. Enjoy, and pretend it's Monday.

mmmm, cute little cans and flavors that actually sound appealing, unlike the Thanksgiving Flavors!!

Gotta get my azz to Target@!

#3? What a record!

That liquid was so bright, it almost doesn’t look real. And when something doesn’t look quite real, it looks spooooky…..so it kinda works.

nice article. The non novelty soda I’ve had that tasted shitty was the red licorice kind that safeway makes. The first few sips were ok, the rest was bad. Especially because it was flat.

The jones soda I would try is the blue, neon light one. Psst check out my listing link

Gee, I thought I was all special telling Matt about these, but I guess I was just one of the many.

I’m giving them out to trick or treaters this year.

I didn’t really think the candy corn tasted 100% like candy corn. I’d go maybe 40% candy corn and 60% cotton candy (or cotton candy flavored bubble gum). The first sip made it totally understandable why they chose not to put the stuff in larger cans. P.S. Corpse Bride is really good!

Those cans look ominous. I think they know that once you drink from them, your soul will be theirs…

I’m all for new and exciting drinks, but hopefully these don’t taste like medicine. I’m sure the flavours were created when one guy was eating, say a caramel apple, and said "You know what? This would be better…as liquid food I could down in three seconds"

Whoa… that is the bluest blue I’ve ever seen in a soda. Despite the words of warning on taste, the color alone seems to be a vortex – sucking my soul out of me and replacing free will with a strong desire to go to Target and grab a 6 pack.

I don’t have anything to say about soda, but I just wanted to gloat about the fact that I’m going to see System of a Down tonight in Columbus. I don’t normally have much to gloat about folks. So, please, let me have this…just this once. Nyah-nyah-nyah.

Just another manic pseudo-Monday.
Is it wrong that a review which repeatedly underscored the unpalatability of each and every soda in the line makes me want to go out and stockpile them so I’ll never run out?

Chestnuts roasted by Jedoc @ 09/25/2005 8:54 AM

FINALLY, a soda can that outdoes Pepsi’s COOL CANS circa 1989. Great article.
Does anyone know why most of the Boglin ebay auctions are from the UK? Is that where they were produced?

Chestnuts roasted by The Manimal @ 09/25/2005 10:01 AM

I have nothing to say except I’m going to target later to get me some of that soda. And maybe a couple BARC (Biker Advanced Recon Commando) speeders. Duros disaster

You know, I am suprised Jones did not include a "Blood" flavor. "Human Brains" would’ve been very festive and canible-like as well.

Chestnuts roasted by Warx @ 09/25/2005 11:19 AM

yes! i can drink candy corn now..life is complete! ;p

Chestnuts roasted by danoslayer @ 09/25/2005 11:44 AM

I have spent a life deprived of novelty holiday soda. And I am worse off for it.

Chestnuts roasted by The Wukong Effect @ 09/25/2005 11:59 AM

Every time I read your nasty soda reviews i’m reminded of my old Dr. Dreadful Drink Lab set. That thing was disturbing and made the the most horrid foggy/fizzy water that my friends and I all gathered around and sucked it down. Did anyone else have that or am I just weird. I had the food lab too, where you make eyeballs and monster brains to eat. Gross gross gross…

I had to shield my eyes from Scary Berry Lemonade. I avoid any drink that is nuclear-bright.

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff Mack @ 09/25/2005 12:33 PM

Whats the Canadian Equivalent to Target, or maybe the Alberta euquivalent, western alienation strikes again!

Chestnuts roasted by Diarrhea Dave @ 09/25/2005 12:35 PM

Ah, Dr. Dreadful.

The only man with enough foresight to give the world lickable, flavored warts.

Chestnuts roasted by The Wukong Effect @ 09/25/2005 12:48 PM

Manimal,

So, which one were you?

Chestnuts roasted by Kyle @ 09/25/2005 12:57 PM

Matt, I hate to criticize your english, but the expression "2 for 2" near the end of the article implies there were two options, and both worked out. Personally I think "2 and 2" works better, as in two balls and two strikes, four total possibilities, with a pair of both good and bad resullting. Once again, feel free to tell me to F-off, and I’m sure you’ll erase this as soon as you reach a decision.

Chestnuts roasted by Mad Cow @ 09/25/2005 1:41 PM

No, no, you are correct. It should’ve read "2 for 4," like it now does.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 09/25/2005 1:44 PM

I hate my town for not having a target now.
I really want to try that berry lemonade one. Because honestly, i dont enjoy ingesting things unless they can possibly harm me internally.

I’m haunted by not knowing what wet aspirin smells like. I’m gonna have nightmares!!!

Chestnuts roasted by phunqsauce @ 09/25/2005 1:49 PM
