Quirky Turkey and Gravy Soda Selling Well

SEATTLE - A new Turkey and Gravy Soda tastes, well, pretty much like you would
imagine. But that's not stopping people from buying it. 

Even the producers of the Thanksgiving-themed beverage at Jones Soda Co. were
surprised by the demand. They sold out all 6,000 bottles online within about
two hours last week.

"To be honest, we really didn't think so many people would want it," said a
Michelle Whitehead, marketing assistant at the Seattle-based premium soda
company that has a reputation for quirky flavors.

Founder and CEO Peter van Stolk dreamed up the seasonal flavor on a lark, but
admits he can't stomach an entire bottle.

The liquid's ominous, murky brown color accurately warns consumers about the
taste. The first sips bring a mix of sweet caramel and savory lard â and it's
downhill from there.

A limited number of Turkey & Gravy Sodas will be available in stores around
Seattle and Olympia for the suggested retail price of 99 cents. A few
entrepreneurs are selling theirs on eBay.com; by Tuesday, the bidding was up to
$63 for a two-bottle set.

Mary Turner, a radio DJ in Lansing, Mich., who is auctioning off a bottle for
charity, has sampled the drink and warns that it's not for the faint of
stomach: "If you roasted a turkey and mashed potatoes, put it in a blender,
left it out for three days and then poured it into a Jones bottle, you'd know
exactly what this drink tastes like!"

The company, founded in 1996, plans to donate proceeds from sales of Turkey &
Gravy Soda to the Toys for Tots charity, and van Stolk said he will personally
match the donation.

Lyin' on the floor watching a bug crawl by
It walked up my face and head straight for my eye
I blinked my lid
And you know what he did
Fell on the floor; then I got a napkin, scooped him up and threw him out.
