128-I Guess People Like Beverages

So my post on Enviga got like..a ton of hits. So maybe writing about beverages is the way to go. Regardless, I have been drinking Jones Soda for quite a long time now. I used to be able to go to a grocery store by my house and get loose bottles in ANY flavor I wanted. I used to come home with grocery bags of like 50 bottles at a time. Then it started to disappear little by little. Next thing I knew it was in cans at Target. Not my preferred way of drinking Jones, but I did what I had to did. Well Jones is making some big waves this week by taking the High Fructose Corn Syrup out of their soda and replacing it with (gasp!) Sugar. Now rebranded as Jones Pure Cane Soda I can't wait to get my hands on a can or bottle and taste the simple clean taste of sugar in my soda. Goose Island a popular brewery in Chicago already makes a line of sugar sweetened sodas which are just amazing.

Jones had been moving in a more "diet" direction in the last year or so, replacing many of their sodas with a sugar free version using Splenda. Which actually didn't taste too bad, but now with sugar in their sodas they can feel good about selling full calorie beverages again. So good job Jones I applaud your decision and I can't wait to try some.
