Yum, yum!!

Jones Soda of Seattle, Washington, generates buzz annually by trotting out a gift box of specialty sodas in Thanksgiving flavors: turkey & gravy, corn on the cob, broccoli casserole, and pecan pie. You know, the usual.

But they have, in our opinion, gone rather too far this year in adding a pink concoction with the aroma and taste, it is reliably reported, of smoked salmon. Yes, that's what we said, that Pacific Northwest taste sensation -- beloved of Englishmen, Jews, and a host of others -- the salmon. It's a fish. You can cook it, you can smoke it, you can even dry it.

We will not be drinking it.

Story HERE.

Wait a minute. As I recollect, it has been nearly 30 years since Dan Aykroyd first started hawking the beloved Bass-O-Matic on SNL. Compared to pureed raw bass, a nice, bubbly smoked salmon beverage does not sound that bad. (P.S., please do NOT send me any for Christmas, though.)
