I went to the Super Wal Mart here in Angleton on Friday night to get some supplies for this weekend's fighing trip. In the beverage aisle, as I was decrying the pathetic selection of beers, my eyes glided to the other side of the aisle. Something different caught my eye.

I've been off of regular cokes for several years after reading about how bad high fructose corn syrup is for us. The info on diet drinks is about as bad, but I regularly drink diet cokes. At least I'm missing the calories I figure.

Well, what drew me to these packages was that they boldly stated, "PURE CANE SODA" on the labels. They were from the Jones Soda Company and there were many flavors, so I tried the crushed melon in bottles and the kiwi soda in cans. WOW! Talk about a flavor sensation. I'm sure it's not entirely healthy, but it has to be better for you than the high fructose sweetener. I allow myself one of these a day and they are so good I just thought I'd pass the word to y'all so you can give it a try. - Coach

i love their root beer!! im just not a big fan of fruit flavored sodas though

Havent tried those Coach, but if its not got that hyfrutosecornsyrup it probably tastes like an old fashioned good soda. Heck, I make my own tea and lemonade and we all like it just fine, but that over the counter stuff, it has all that junk in it and it tastes like chemicals to me, in my humble opinion, all that hypersuperconcentratedcornfrutose stuff has created all of the sudden surge in diabetes in people my age and younger. Sugar in moderation isnt so bad for a person. I havent yet figured out why they the soda companies hypercornsyrup anything. Is it cheaper or something. I'm not up on that end of the chemical mixes. And a lot of people are very sensitive to corn products.

Its gonna be hard for the general public to get back to the basics, I'm trying, but its hard to find just even jam and jelly without all that stuff in it.

I'll look that for at the Wally World here.

Yep, the cornsyrup is cheaper. When I was in Europe in '93, '95, '99, and '00, I was happy to find Cokes had real sugar in them.

Can't be no worse than those Cherry Coke Zeros I had to get at that convience store,next time I'll just get Pepsi!!LOL

Coach...If you REALLY want a flavor sensation, wait until Thanksgiving when Jones Soda comes out with their Thanksgiving flavors. Turkey & dressing, green bean caserole, etc. I tried the turkey & dressing once just to see what it taste like...I won't make that mistake again.

 

[PHINS]

If you can get it Dublin Dr. Pepper is made with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar. It tastes so much better than regular DP.

 

[portalto]

You can also order Jones Soda's with your customized label i.e. a photo you submit.

Jones Soda Makes THE BEST cream soda in the biz..

 

[Old Whaler]

I'll just have a beer

 

[Blue Water Ho]

Also at Sam's Club you can get the "Mexican" Coke a Cola. It has cane sugar in it. You cant go wrong with that and Dublin DP.

Put me down for IBC root beer. It is so strong it will make you burp through your nose if you drink it too fast.

The Thanksgiving Meal set of Jones Soda is truly something to try! I bought the set a couple years back and brought it to work for everyone to try. I will say that the Pumpkin Pie wasn't too terrible, and the Cranberry was actually something that a person could drink a little of. However, the Turkey and Gravy should be avoided at all costs, and whoever decided that Brussell Sprout was a good idea for a soda flavor should have their toenails pulled out one at a time......................veeeeeeeeeeery slowly, then made to walk 100 miles through ankle deep alcohol! That schtuff works better than Ipicac (sp?) syrup! I'm gettin nauseaus just thinkin back about it!

I love Dublin Dr Pepper even at $6 for a sixer of bottles.

Oh give me a break TF, nobody in their right mind would make a soda to try and mimic a turkey dinner. Oh come on. that's just out there in spaceland.

Someone left some in our fridge at the beach house. After tasting it I can see why they left it.

We played this trick on the kids last Thanksgiving. Turkey & Gravy, Dressing, Brussel Sprout, Sweet Potato, & Cranberry flavored sodas.
Pretty freaky! LOL

 

[Ckill]

I might have to try the Jones one day, I don't really like soda of any type I pretty much drink water, tea or beer.
