Jones Soda Co.

Root Beer

"I've got a jones for a Jones"

Jones Soda Co., 234 Ninth Avenue North, Seattle, Washington 98109

Jones' Philosophy, from the bottle:

"Ya gotta make a living somehow; we chose the beverage world.  Good old soda with a twist.  No hidden meanings, no billion dollar ad campaigns.  At Jones, we want you to buy a lot of soda and recycle the bottles.  The labels are kinda like our minds -- always changing.  Run with the little guy... create some change."

     Review:  A vanilla-y nose.  Full-flavored and syrupy, we wondered if our bottle had lost its fizz as there was little carbonation.  A very pleasant sweet beer, but this was soda pop and not root beer -- nice taste, no rootiness!  CB thought it was "cream soda-ish."  We love this root beer for its labels (see below).  (2/23/03)

Luke's Review

Ingredients:  carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavors, caramel color, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (as preservatives).  12 oz. bottle, 160 calories, 15 mg sodium, 44 g total carbohydrates, 44 g from sugars.

Labels:  Jones Soda Co. has the coolest labels in the business -- they win our label contest hands down.  As they say, "send us your photo, if we like it we will put it on our label."  The labels change all the time, there are 24 per month.  The one pictured here is #1546, by Linda D. Porter of Bernardston, Mass.  You can be among the thousands of people from all over the country trying to get their photos on a label -- there were more than 96,000 images up on the Jones Soda label gallery when we recently checked.  What fun!
