WIF MAH SODA? ruins the joke, alas. A lolcat is a very, very sensitive operation.

Aw, I didn't realize Jones Soda was going out of business. I guess it was fun while it lasted...

This is fucking insipid. Put some Chuck Norris funfacts under the bottlecaps while you're at it.

C'mon folks, is this really that devastatingly surprising? This is Jones Soda we're talking about - you know, sodas flavored like thanksgiving foods and all that? This was bound to happen sooner or later.

Looks like it's official. Jones Soda had officially jumped the shark.

Next.

@13 I totally do. I don't drink/eat stuff with corn products (allergies) so Jones soda with pure cane sugar is my go to. Problem is I probably only drink one can about every other month or so.

@ #9:

My thoughts exactly. Jones has gone from a tiny, well-kept secret (and a very good soda) a few years ago to a corporate slag. I can't even FIND normal, decent flavors any more.

You know what I love? People who bitch about Jones "going corporate". Yeah, wow, they're soooooo corporate. Except, uh, they're not. If they'd gone all corporate they'd probably stop making the crazy flavors, and they sure as shit wouldn't be putting LOLcats on their labels. If they'd gone corporate they'd probably have more than 80 employees (they don't) and would move out of their shitty office space in SLU, and they'd actually be posting quarterly profits instead of losses. But they haven't done any of those things, have they?

It's too bad that you lost your "tiny, well-kept secret", #15. But maybe the employees at Jones would like to keep eating and paying their rents. That's hard to do when you keep your product a precious little secret for all the precious little hipsters.

Awww, my daily lolz on a soda bottle. Two great things that go great together - Insane cat captions and fizzy beverages. I love the melon flavor best. Maybe it will have a lolrus on it next time, or maybe Ceiling Vat hizzelf. Who can say?

Will they come in Hairball and Catnip flavors? Well, maybe Catnip flavor won't be so bad (tastes a bit like mint.)

Will be looking for Bukkit flavored, too.
