Been looking for some Jones diet soda at Big Lots and finally found it today. I've never tried the cola so I bought a couple of 4-packs and although the soda was better than most other brands I've tried I have to wonder if they took honesty a bit too far with what was on the bottom of the box. :confused:

To me that's crude and tasteless.

I think it's funny, but I do have my dad's slightly warped sense of humor.

I agree with Penny Lane. It's taste less and crude. I frankly wouldn't buy the item The company though it was funny, but I didn't laugh.

Oh, Heavens, I used to love Jones soda. Vanilla Cola, Fufu Berry, Bubblegum were my favorites. But man, did those things have sugar!!!

Have you tried the Black Cherry Zilch yet? I wondered how that was...

All I've found is cola but would love to find black cherry as it's one of my favorite soda flavors.

OH Nuts!

I agree with the two of you. Wouldn't GO NEAR their products after that repulsive joke. When you dig deeper, it shows really poor judgment from someone rather high up. Makes you wonder where else they are showing bad judgment. Besides there are plenty of great no or low cal soda options out there so who needs them anyways.

Regardless of their poor attempt at humor I'll probably buy more because the soda tastes better than most other brands I've tried and at $1.50 per 4-pack it's very reasonably priced.

I agree with everyone who thought the "joke" was crude and tasteless. I probably would have laughed at it when I was 12, but now, nah.

It's a gross joke, yeah, but then again this company has always been on the 'we're hip and snarky' side of things. These are the folks, after all, who actually introduced a mashed potato and gravy flavored soda a while back. :eek: Consider the source (but their pop is awesome).

My first guess is the executives, mostly lawyers...there's no signatures on Coke and Pepsi cans, and they have lots of lawyers...one more reason not to drink cola.
