That’s right, I tasted Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda and lived to tell the tale. Jones Soda is a line of brightly colored, uniquely flavored sodas known for using fan-submitted photos on their bottle labels, and for putting out “theme” soda lines around the holidays. Their Holiday Packs in past years have included flavors like Mashed Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, and Turkey and Gravy.

This year, Jones gave a nod to vegetarians and vegans and created Tofurky and Gravy soda for the holidays. Tofurky is a brand name of a product made with wheat gluten and tofu, and then molded into a turkey shape. IZEA sent me a Postie Pack containing a bottle of the soda and a totally awesome turkey hat, and asked those of us doing this campaign to taste the soda and post about it. I had NO idea what I expected it to taste like, I was expecting something like liquid gravy flavor.

Nathan’s friend Forrest happened to be over on Wednesday, and he eats some vegetarian foods, so he said he wanted to try the Tofurky and Gravy soda. I cracked open the bottle and handed it to him.  I stood there with the camera ready to catch his reaction as he took a sip….

And much to my surprise, he swallowed and said, “IT”S REALLY GOOD!”

So I took the bottle from him and took a sip of my own. And much to MY surprise, it tasted okay! It tasted like 7-Up with caramel syrup mixed in, seriously!  I can’t say I would buy it and drink it on purpose, but if you’re curious about trying it, I can honestly say it doesn’t taste like turkey-flavored meat substitute like you might expect. Pick some up and try it yourself!

    My husband loves Jones Soda… We haven’t seen that one around yet though. We tried some of the Halloween flavors. They weren’t bad… :) Thanks for sharing!

    I tried tofurky a few years back because I was fasting on an all vegetarian diet. I didn’t like it. I love tofu but the tofurky just didn’t taste right. Jonas Soda huh? It tastes like 7up and caramel? Sounds like something my girls might like.

    Did you see on The Tonight Show where Conan had La Bamba try that drink? He immediately spat it out and hilarity ensued.

    I haven’t tried a truly “bad” Jones soda yet, so I’m gonna say this is more proof that said bad Jones soda doesn’t exist!
