Would You Drink Pea Flavoured Softdrink?
December 1st 2006 00:25
How would you react to the idea of drinking pea flavoured softdrink/soda?
Don't think it can't happen because it already has!
And don't make the mistake of thinking it's a one-off!
The latest pea flavoured drink is in good company alongside of other flavours such as:
* Salmon
* Dinner roll
* Sweet potato
* Broccoli casserole
* Corn on the cob
* Brussel sprout
* Fish taco
* Antacid flavour
* & not at all forgetting turkey with gravy.
The certifiably insane company behind this, is the Jones Soda company based in Seattle, U.S.A. Only in America, right!
I've heard that the CEO himself doesn't like the flavours, but they tend to sell out fairly quickly, so of course they keep on coming up with weird and wack flavours.
I guess it's that 'try anything once' mentality.
Personally, that's one taste test I can quite happily live without.
So hands up who'd try something with any of these weird flavours, and does anybody have any better suggestions?

and Fish Taco is just wrong....
Are these Americans mad? or mayhaps the old story of being consumed by consumerism..

As for the broccoli one, I would have thought that seeing as it's hard enough as it is to get most people to eat those, that that one would well and truly be a fizzer. ; )
Could be a good idea to put kids off that won't eat their vegetables though. "Yes, sure you can have a soda - better make it a broccoli casserole one though!". ; )

That is just too weird. Honestly, they'll try to make money out of anything won't they.
Turkey with gravy? What are they thinking? Lamb and mint sauce would make a much tastier soft drink than that. Gravy is better with brussels sprouts ... it masks their flavour beautifully.

Great Post!
Humour me... no way I can get down that whole list in one sitting...I'll just start with the pea soda thanks... hmmm, actually I think it is rather refreshing [sounding] dependant on how much bloomin' sugar they add to it... maybe pea and ham would be nice, but of course amongst the upper crust its served flat, not fizzy... I can't say I'd go for it fizzy ... will have to wait and see, no doubt Australia will do another lemming run on this one!

I wasn't counting on today being a hot one, but with the weather these days, I really should have known better.
It was very nice though, and one of the kids discovered the wonders of gravy.
As for Christmas, yes, you're right about that. Just how many people do go the whole hog for Christmas with the big roast dinners while it's boiling hot!
We actually cheat at Christmas by sticking to cold ham and turkey along with the occasional meal of prawns.
The only Christmas cooking I've ever done is Christmas biscuits, usually done with the kids a day or two beforehand, and once I did stuffed zucchini on the day, just so I can say I did once cook something for Christmas. ; )

This post was coincidental, incidentally. Someone just offered me a can of wasabi-flavoured dried peas. I think the expression on my face must have been priceless.

Some people would buy it anyway.
I'd probably be one.
Though I don't know if I'd drink it.

Well that's one person so far........anyone else? Well Adele might if she's passing them around, or would she only be interested in watching other people drink them.
That could be quite fun actually. ; )
Sarah, refer to the comment before yours for the one mad person. ; )

I had the thought of the other pea cross my mind as well, so you weren't the only one.
As for wasabi peas....... Brenton would probably drink that as a softdrink also!

Turkey and gravy is the only one that I think that might possibly not make me vomit.....but I'm not 100% sure on it.

Obviously I don't get too many comments being fun facts, I mean, what really is there to comment on most of the time, but this one certainly has been fun.
Now I'm wondering if I can top it off by cracking the 200 mark in votes as well! : )

I think if I ever was to buy something as ridiculous sounding as these, I probably would just use them on my unsuspecting friends first so I can gauge their reactions.
That's just the sort of loving, sharing friend I am. ; )

After plying the above friends with the strange concoctions first in the caring, sharing way that I operate, I would then concievably load myself up on many varieties of alcohol before just maybe, conceivably trying the 'flavours' that received the smallest amount of grimaces.
I can see that in a situation like this, it may be possible that I could attempt one or two of these beverages, but up until then, no way!
As for your comments on the Japanese market, I would think they would do really well. The Japanese do seem to like crazy ideas like this.....

But spicy and sweet, i'm not a fan of. Not mixed up. I remember a chilli watermellon warhead - it wasn't too spicy, just tasted OFF.

Brenton, I can't even handle the spicy side on it's own - i couldn't even imagine mixing the two.
Ashish, have you tried weird things like this before?
Cibbuano, I wouldn't have gone near asparagus juice with a 40 foot barge pole but hey - you live and you learn I guess.In my case, you just proven my instincts to be spot on!
Vixter, I think asparagus is not only one of the things that makes for bad wee, but bad 'other stuff' as well in terms of getteing pregnant.......
Postmoderncritic, that reminds me of a fragrance I remember they tried to bring out years ago as a perfume.
I believe the name was something like "Bowling Green" or "Lawn Green", and you've got it - smelled exactly like grass!

'Sweetened tar' is the best description of licorice I've ever come across, W.
