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.
I used to love weird candy when I was a kid. As a matter of fact I still do, although I don't actually eat much candy nowadays. I just write about them occasionally. Big Sky Brands in conjunction with Jones Soda Company, known for their tasty and wacky holiday sodas, came out with carbonated candy in soda flavors last summer, and has started adding to the flavor line-up.
The people at Jones Soda sent me a Valentine's Day
special "Love Potion #6" pack with two bottles of Jones soda, romantic CD, lip balm and coupon book.
Nicole didn't much like the Thanksgiving pack. With flavors like "turkey and gravy" and "corn on the cob," who would? The love potion was far better. Though it was sweetened with high fructose corn syrup (usually, I won't touch the stuff), it wasn't quite as super-cloyingly-sweet as most mainstream sodas. The flavor was really delicious and I can best describe it as "pink." I tasted notes of bubblegum, rose (just a hint) and strawberry. In fact, it tastes exactly like it looks, sweet, pink, and silly. If they reformulate it and lose the high fructose, I will beg for this to become a regular flavor. I love the taste of pink! Who wouldn't?

Would it even be an American holiday without a special edition soda from Jones? This year Jones
is introducing its limited edition "Love Potion #6" soda in a special pack that includes two bottles of the
pink drink, Love Potion #6 lip balm, a CD sampler, and a coupon book full of "love coupons" to exchange with
your sweetheart.
Jones Sodas are available at Target, a variety of other retailers, or online, where you can purchase the pack for $9.99 plus shipping. Jones will be sending out 10,000 Valentine's packs to U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Which is all fine and dandy. But what I want to know: how does it taste? A pack is wending its way from Seattle to me, I'll give a full report in a few days...
