Tech Terror

I am a poor cyber contractor.

My construction begins with a computer well on the way to Hard Drive Purgatory
as is evidenced by it's high pitched grinding whine. And yet, as with the Winchester House in San Francisco, construction will continue at a furious pace until the ghosties get me.

Jones Soda Company has decided to build on the success of last years Turkey and Gravey soda by serving up an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. I am escpecially entranced by the Mashed Potato & Butter soda.




This year, Jones Soda is offering the turkey and gravy sodas as a set in 15,000 "holiday packs" for $16 each, complete with utensils.

Thanksgiving, a U.S. holiday which falls on the fourth Thursday of November, typically features a dinner with turkey, gravy and other condiments. "The average consumer doesn't have the time to prepare a full turkey meal," van Stolk quipped.

Particularly noteworthy on the menu is the green beans and casserole soda, van Stolk said, adding, "We're proud that we accented this dish with fried onions."

The pack was available nationwide at limited retail locations, including Target Corp. stores, beginning on Monday.

The new flavors are in addition to the company's traditional flavors: green apple, bubblegum and crushed melon.

And remember, folks: No carbs, no calories and no caffeine! No kidding.
