Halloween Edition Jones Sodas 2007

I am a big fan of the Jones holiday novelty sodas. Though they're not always the best flavors, they have a fun factor like Harry Potter's Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Jelly Beans... You could get Grape Jelly... you could get vomit.
Let's see if Jones gave us vomit this year...

The 2007 crop of Halloween sodas gives us the jack o'lantern mini-cans of: Candy Corn (a repeat from last year), Lemon Drop Dead, Gruesome Grape (repeat) and Strawberry S'lime.
The Lemon Drop Dead is super sour: almost as if a lemon Warheads candy became a soda. It caught me off guard.
Candy Corn is worth a sip... but that's about it.
Gruesome Grape and Strawberry S'lime both remind me of cheap, store brand grape and strawberry flavored sodas you can get for 25 cents in the front of your grocery. Not exactly bad... just calling it what it is so you know what to expect.

Then there's the more 'adult' bottles of: Monster Mojito (repeat), Dread Licorice, and Black Cat Licorice.
Dread Licorice suprisingly doesn't have much of a flavor at all. If you really concentrate, maybe you can imagine it as more Red Vines than Twizzlers.
And I'm not a big black licorice guy so I was dreading (no pun intended) the Black Cat Licorice... but again I was surprised by how mild it was. No bite to it at all.
Monster Mojito is sorta light. I would prefer a tad more mint flavor to it, if anything.

I mentioned these sodas in the bottles seemed more "adult" than the cans. Mainly because it seems like most of the flavors could be used as mixers at Halloween parties for fun cocktails.
Jagermeister and Black Cat Licorice maybe?
Real mojito mixed with Monster Mojito?
Absolut Raspberry and Dread Licorice?

Personally I miss Spider Cider, and Berried Alive from 2006. I like the neon blue and berry flavor of the one, and I'm always game for a cider flavor in autumn.

Lastly: I discovered that if you're in an area that's light on the trick or treaters, these make great treats with a handful of candy. I gave these out to the lucky 5 treaters I got last year, and it blew their minds. You could see on the kids' faces the shock of "OH MY GOD THIS GUY IS GIVING US CANS OF SODA!!!!!"
I highly recommend it.
