But really, can anything compare to Jones Soda's "Thanksgiving in Bottles" ? Mashed potato, turkey & gravy, cranberry, fruitcake, and green bean casserole sodas:

OK, peeps, bacon was 2009. Not anymore. Make a note of it.

How long until Jones goes out of business?

It's time for us to start enjoying bacon like we used to, with quiet satisfaction. I wouldn't say stuff like this goes too far, but it is thoroughly played out.

@7 I thought I read somewhere that even though it was a prank, the response was so good that they were going to make it. I'd buy at least two bottles (one to use and one as a gift).

Never tried bacon soda, but I tried the smoked bacon bourbon at The Blacksmith's while living in Bend this summer. It starts like smoked bacon and finished like a sweet salty bourbon. So, I can only imagine the taste of carbonated bacon in a bottle. And, it isn't a delicious thought. I think the bacon craze is lost on me. I'll keep my bourbon and my soda free of bacon.

I'd rather just sip some Laphroaig.

and I always wondered what I should drink when eating bacon...

Mmmmmm, Laphroaig. And to that list we can add Lagavulin and Bowmore, in my opinion. Now, that is balancing sweet/savory tastes. I agree with Actionsquid @ 13, forget the soda and pick up a bottle from Islay.

@Kim- Yes, Lagavulin and Bowmore are nice too.

By the way, your very own state has a McCarthys distillery, which makes an Islay-inspired whiskey I really like. When I had it it was like 3 years old, so it was a little green... but still it was tasty, peatey/smokey in that Islay way. Worth checking out, especially for the novelty of a smoky OR-made whiskey.

@13, @15, @16, if you're after that Islay peat-fire smokey flavor, you need to try some Ardbeg. It's even smokier than Laphroaig. The highest ppm of smoke compounds of any commercially-available Scotch (some private bottlings are higher).

I've had and enjoyed Ardbeg, but to me Laphroaig tastes more intensely smoky, which is why it's my favorite. Dunno.

I do know, however, I would prefer any of the Scotches mentioned to bacon-flavored soda.

Actionsquid, I've yet to try McCarthy's, but have heard good things about it. It seems it is always sold out.

Fnarf, thank you for the tip on Ardbeg. I do not have that one in my collection. And, "Mr. Chelsea Fan" wants me to drink down some of the Solera Reserve that I inherited before I bring in anymore Scotch. He might relent for Talisker, though, because he likes it too. The others I already have in my collection. So I'm not hurting.

Peas, Turkey & Gravy, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, and Antacid. No, no, no, no, and no. Bacon scares me even more... (Review of the nasty Thanksgiving set here: http://kooztop5.blogspot.com/2011/11/top…)
