09/25/2005: 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.

Just picked these up at Target. I thought all of them were actually pretty good!! The candy corn was definitely like drinking maple syrup. I don’t generall like drinking maple syrup, so I didn’t drink the whole thing, but the flavor itself was unoffensive. The Caramel Apple tasted a little rotten-ish, like they haven’t quite gotten that caramel formula down yet. It was just kind of like drinking really old apples. The other two tasted like normal fruity flavors to me. A little too fruity, so I’m glad they are in really small cans. I only drank like 1/4 can of each. Also, I read a recipe in the Target ad for Halloween Punch, using the Strawberry S’lime and the Scary Berry Lemonade. So I mixed the two and I think the mixed is WAY better than separated. I don’t know if anybody else has tried this, but I really liked it. It kind of toned down the flavors assaulting your palate. It was nice. If anybody else tries it, let me know what you think. I also mixed Candy Corn and Caramel Apple (just so I could be the first on the board to tell the story!) Do not try it, it is REVOLTING!!

They’re on sale at Target, so get them while they’re hot (cold?) (By the way, I drank mine slightly chilled. They were in the fridge for about 30 min, and then I couldn’t stand the suspense and had to try them.)

I just drank some more and realized that the Caramel Apple tastes exactly like Apple Juice mixed with Apple Cider Vinegar. I don’t taste anything resembling Caramel. It’s not completely gross though.

The strawberry lime and berry lemonade seem to be a lot brighter in the Halloween editions, or maybe that’s just because there’s a camera flash shooting through them. Berry lemonade is blue, but not quite that blue, and strawberry lime (my favorite!) is the same color as any other strawberry soda.

I tried some of the candy-corn flavored soda the other day. And then I thought, “I could have gotten the same results by pouring myself a nice tall glass of Karo corn syrup, adding a heaping cup of sugar and half a squeeze-bottle of honey, and making it thinner and carbonated somehow.” It’s pretty horrible. I’d have probably loved it as a kid, but I don’t care for super-sweet things anymore.

Our Target had a Lemon drop, a pomegrante and the kiwi flavored sodas. All were quite good.
