Jones Holiday Sodas: Turkey & Gravy Soda

Turkey & Gravy Soda

Last Updated: 11/9/2004 11:30 AM

Product Type: Carbonated Soft Drink: Regular; Container: 12 oz glass (355 ml)
BevNET Review: Jones Soda's Turkey & Gravy soda is one of the strangest things we've ever tasted. First of all, the product uses an interesting formulation that contains a variety of ingredients rarely (if ever) seen in beverage products and it's zero carb/calorie. Not to mention that we've never had turkey and gravy that was carbonated and sweetened with Splenda ;). Anyway, the product's aroma definitely smells like turkey and gravy, but the flavor is another story. The taste is noticeably salty and has a mild sweetness to it. There is a slight "turkey 8 gravy"-like finish to the product, but the addition of carbonation and sweetness generally hide the taste otherwise. Honestly, it was pretty hard for any of our testers to keep from spitting the product out. So is this product a failure? No, not at all. We have to give Jones Soda credit for putting this product out there purely to create buzz -- and they definitely succeeded on that front. The real challenge is yet to come -- can Jones turn this buzz into something that helps energize the brand and gets consumers to buy more of the product? The potential is there, but only time will tell. Overall, we give this product good marks for creativity and execution, but we really hope meat flavored beverages don't become a lasting trend ;)

Umm, yeah, uhh, what to say. It does taste like turkey and gravy, kudos for that. But al of the people who had to taste test this in development are probably in therapy right now. It's that bad. It tastes like you took turkey and gravy, belended it completely liquid, then poured a bottle of carbonated saline solution in. Please, buy this as a collector's item, but don't drink it.

Turkey and Gravy Soda, anyone?
3 stars3 stars3 stars3 stars3 stars

Well, after opening the bottle, I caught a whiff of a kind of salty smell. After drinking the whole bottle, I have to say that it doesn't really taste like turkey or gravy, but there IS a salty note in the drink itself. But there's also a sweetness to it. Actually, it's not really that bad. Just kind of, er... salty. It kind of reminds me of the flavor of Play-Doh mixed with artifical sweetner and carbonated. Not something I'd try again, but interesting to say the least!

As a Christmas gift, I managed to recieve a Jones Holiday Pack containing 5 lovely flavors. The main flavor, Turkey and Gravy, was the original. This was okay, better than expected. It had a gravy-like flavor with that Splenda aftertaste. Not the best of the holiday sodas, but not the worst.
