    if they used a clear can, that may help a little. But they are big on the immage. I liked when they were in 20oz. plastic, but swore they would never go to anything but glass because of the immage. Now they are going to cans. I dont know, I just think of Shasta. Make it cheap, sell it direct, and try to move volume. But yeah, they do loose street cred with this in my mind. Also, there are a lot of Targets out here in CA, I just dont see all their distributors being happy with being left out of the sales, especially since they are already in the store. Jones just gets it all backwards. They go through distro. channels to sell a case or 2 to zumies and other mall stores, and go direct to the big, traditional stores. Next time, switch it. But it obvious Jones is just looking for the $$, which there is nothing wrong with that, but dont act like you are the little guy anymore.

    Oh FatAss- sorry, I mean Big Bottom - Are u STILL here? You should be in the gym working on cottage cheese ass or that chip on your shoulder- both neeed work. For your information, distributors are selling the 12 oz bottles into Target. If I remember correctly, U were claiming Jones would be finished years ago- but their stock in at $4 a share- odd...
    Ron- I kinda like you. U can admit when Jones does well even though u are kinda anti Jones. I admire that- Help out our fat friend in Chicago.

    I try to be honest in my opinon. Im not a Jones fan, but if they do something good or have some sales, you cant really ignore that.

    ok guys...
    first of all, jones makes an awesome strawberry lime. second...i wonder if mistic should go by way of jones, selling directly to stores. maybe their sales will increase. they taste way better than cra*ple. i still don't see why that junk called snapple is so popular, way watered down.
    Keep me posted about any Sparkling MISTICs!!!

    will jones be doing any other sugar-free flavors in cans?

    i'd like their sugar free cream soda but never see it.

    i enjoy drinking it out of a can. it's half the price and a hell of a lot easier in the car. don't mind me, i love the glass, but sometimes cans are just easier.
    woot woot

    I agree on the easier issue...although Jones bottles do twist back closed. I just hate that Jones took a stance before on not bringing back 20 oz plastic because they were so stuck on their image and did not want to go away from that. Then they turn around and go direct with what looks like a knock off version of their drink. Its moving off the shelves, but I still dont like it.
