OMG, icanhascheezburger.com is teaming up with Jones Soda! If you don't know about the wildly popular lol cats, you've been buried further under the rock than I have. The trend combines a cute cat image with a funny caption, and its been tremendously popular on the internet.Now this movement is headed out into the real world as a label on Jones Soda brand drinks. The soda maker approached the website icanhascheezburger.com about using this imagery, and the website agreed. There's also a contest on the website to create more lol cat images specifically to adorn the front of Jones Soda bottles.
Jones Soda is known for its interesting and offbeat labels, as well as for being a higher end soft drink. Now they may be known for bringing an internet trend to the unconnected masses. Don't look now, but Jones Soda is in ur internet, stealin ur trends!

I have yet to taste a Jones Cola that I cared for. Now if only I could find a regular U.S. distributor for Fentiman's Curiousity Cola, that would be good. I do love that stuff.

I looked at the labels of Jones Soda, but it contains sodium benzoate, which interferes with the DNA in your cells. So, I go to Costco and buy Coca Cola from Mexico, which is made with cane sugar. Also Izzie drinks.

Sometimes I think I'm the only person in the world who isn't enthralled by the lol cats, because the grammatical errors just drive me nuts. Ack!

While traveling overseas always provides the added benefit of being able to drink a Coke produced with cane sugar. Growing up I always assumed the switch in US production came as a result of the Cuban missile crisis and our refusal to buy Cuban sugar and the inability of US agriculture to supply sufficient product . I recall the change in flavor occurring at that time, and then no longer drinking colas. Does anyone know if this is an accurate memory to any degree? Was this the moment of breakthrough for corn sweetener into the soft drink market?

Jones Soda is also the official soft drink of Qwest Field in Seattle, home of the Seahawks.
As far as sugar in soda, according to the History channel sugar was phased out for HFCS in the 70's. But you can find Coke made with sugar during Passover, when they make kosher Coke (it has a yellow cap). It can be hard to find, but it's available in 2L, unlike the glass bottles from Mexico.

I love funny but I just don't get LOL cats! I don't find it humerous in the least. I always feel like I am missing something. I try I really do!

I LOVE Jones soda (well, I don't love the root beer or cream soda actually) and I LOVE lolcats!
Of course I have to watch my speaking/typing because I build ads and if I slipped into lolspeak I would feel like a uh, yeah... I do sometimes for fun say "i can has" and things of that nature but it's fun.
Also, the Coke from Mexico (with sugar! yay) is fantastic, I haven't liked Coke since I was a kid but like it again now (about 20 years later)...
Some of the junk they put in stuff to avoid sugar is way worse for ya, I would rather just limit my intake ;)
Oh yeah, and we also found "Blue Sky" soda which also uses sugar.
