I guess a lot of people must shell out $10 a pack. Just went to their website and they say:

In an effort to provide more support for children’s charities, Jones launched two different holiday packs benefiting St. Jude’s Children’s Research Center and Toys for Tots, with the goal of raising $100,000 and $50,000, respectively.

I have not actually seen any in the local stores, nor have I looked for them. But tv stations in Jacksonville, Fla have shown them the last couple of years or so.
Was a new flavor coming out this year...I forget what it was/is.

I saw someone interviewed that drank about half of one. They said it was not bad.
I suppose I would try them.... but I would not spend a lot of money on them.
I forget why they came about but they interviewed someone from the brewer/factory or whatever that had either created them or whatever.
I don't think it was as a joke though, although it may have been.

Now if they could create one to make Corona ACTUALLY TASTE like beer they might get somewhere....
:wink: 8) :lol:

They're easy to find in the better beverage outlets down here in SoCal :P

I did try the Blue Bubblegum (which has big floating globs of blue goop that melt in your mouth), and it tasted like bubblegum alright!

...but who wants to drink bubblegum? :-?

I suddenly feel like vomiting.

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, 'Goodnight and Joy be with you all.'"

This gives the term "gag gift" a whole new meaning.

Someone had bought the Candy Corn soda for their Hallloween party. Tasted like cream soda. BUT, some of it spilled and the orange coloring would not wash off the gal's hands!
