SEATTLE - Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham-and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete. It even will be kosher, the company making it says — including the ham.
Jones Soda Co., the Seattle-based purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed limited-edition packs of flavored sodas.
The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins and Latkes sodas.
"As always, both packs are kosher and contain zero caffeine," Jones said in a statement.
The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.
Jones' products feature original label art and frequently odd flavors. Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas.
For its contract to supply soda to Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream and Natural Field Turf. The company — fortunately or unfortunately — prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.
Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry and strawberry sodas.
A whole new meaning to “spam in a can”.
Befitting the CrAzY people in Seattle. 8-D
HAHAHA!
WARNING! This is a high-volume ping list.
So far I have only tried their Green Apple, very tasty.

Foodie ping.
I admit, I’m a soda pop purist........Coke, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper. Those others sound revolting.
Wow...it came true! Les Claypool is the next Nostradamus! ;)
Somehow I dont think there will be an OU or K on the label.
Actually read this one, and it is kosher.
Of course Avery's has been around a lot longer and they're on opposite ends of the fruited plain. ;-D
Ruh-roh is right. That class action suit might make a good label for “Stockholders Fizzle.”
I looooove their diet green apple. Not as sweet and the green apple flavor is the best - no after taste of diet crap and just like a green apple.
Just give me a 2 cents plain.
**Freeper Kitchen Ping**
I seem to recall that Jones uses sugar to sweeten their soft drinks instead of the dreaded corn syrup.
