"Pleasantly disgusting:" Who's buying all those Thanksgiving-flavored sodas and snacks?"From Jones Soda's Turkey and Gravy flavor to TJ’s Stuffing Seasoned Popcorn, Thanksgiving has hit the snack aisle"
As per the article:
"Every year, in anticipation of Thanksgiving, Jones Soda rolls out its collection of seasonal-themed beverages. The brand’s soda flavors aren’t anything like your classic Sierra Mist or Orange Crush. In fact, they’re quite the opposite. Think savory, dinner-themed sodas — mashed potatoes, green beans and stuffing are just a few menu items that are served up as fizzy drinks.
Jones Soda’s most popular Thanksgiving-flavored offering is the Turkey and Gravy soda, which is exactly what its name suggests. Of course, It’s only natural to wonder why someone would be compelled to spend more than $45 on a soda that sounds far from appetizing. But surprisingly, many people do."
And, further along in the article:
"Jones Soda is just one of many brands that have jumped on an ongoing trend of snacks centered around classic Thanksgiving flavors. Unlike most holiday-themed foods, Thanksgiving snacks push the limits of wacky food pairings. There’s American Roasted Turkey Flavor Cheetos, which are interestingly a unique flavor only found in China, but available for purchase via online retailers in the states. There’s Pillsbury’s turkey-shaped sugar cookies and Goldfish’s Dunkin' Pumpkin Spice Grahams — two snacks that are more conventional than far-fetched. And there’s Jones Soda’s Sugar Cookie-flavored drink, which comes in a pack with the Turkey and Gravy soda… because nothing screams Thanksgiving like dinner followed by dessert."
I'll politely pass on most of the sodas and snacks mentioned in the article. But, I have to admit, I'd be willing to give those American Roasted Turkey Flavor Cheetos a try. 'Merica! No, wait ... China!
