Forget Thanksgiving; Now Every Day Can Be Turkey Day With New Line Of Turkey & Gravy Sodas By Richard Davis (Adds details, byline, to previous story)SEATTLE, Wash.--(BEVERAGE MARKETING)--Monday, November 15, 2004Going cold turkey, could be easier then you think, no I don't mean quitting smoking, but guzzling a ice cold Turkey & Gravy Soda. Not your cup of tea? OK, Pilgrim hang on to you hat how about mom's favorite Green Bean Casserole Soda, (no one ever eats the stuff but folks still insist on making Green Bean Casserole during the holidays) and for Idaho spud lovers, its buttery Mashed Potato & Butter Soda. There is no shortage of Turkey & Gravy Soda this Thanksgiving, thanks to Jones Soda Company's limited edition holiday pack of five new seasonal flavors which also includes a Christmas Fruitcake Soda and Cranberry Soda for those who crave taste of cranberry sauce for their turkey pop dinner."Our holiday pack takes the work, worries and cost out of preparing a turkey dinner, so our consumers can spend more time with their loved ones. We even included utensils," says Peter van Stolk, President and CEO of Seattle-based Jones Soda Company. "We realized consumers are concerned about the 2,000 calories that each full holiday meal contains. That's why we made our sodas zero calories and zero carbs. Now, you can enjoy all the mashed potatoes and butter without worrying about the carbs." However, last year liquid turkey lover's where unable to get their hands-on Turkey & Gravy Soda, some had to shell out $63 on eBay, for a two-bottle set. This year Peter van Stolk says Jones Soda will deliver some 15,000 of the so called "turkey dinner packages" that include 1 - 12 ounce bottle each of Green Bean Casserole Soda, Mashed Potato & Butter Soda, Fruitcake Soda, Cranberry Soda and Turkey & Gravy Soda. You can pick up the Turkey of all sodas at Target stores throughout the United States and at other retailers, between $14.95-16.95, with proceeds benefiting Toys for Tots. Nonetheless, some Turkey-Day aficionados are still waiting online at http://www.jonessoda.com for the inclusion of the Oyster Stuffing Soda, perhaps it will be in next years holiday pack line-up.CONTACT:Jones Soda Co.Jennifer Cue, 206-624-3357 jencue@jonessoda.comhttp://www.jonessoda.com-or- Michelle Whitehead, 800/656-6050 michelle@jonessoda.comhttp://www.jonessoda.com
