So I guess this whole bacon-everything trend is not going to die.

^^ Not if the NC Pork Association has its way.

There is no feasible way that this is real. Who the shit would drink that!?

11/5/2010 10:34:39 AM

Considering this is the same company that makes turkey soda, I'm going to say it's real.

"Does the thought of bacon soda turn your stomach? Wait until you try it. A parade of New Yorkers grimaced and retched after sips of the pig-inspired pop unveiled by Jones Soda Co. - or just at the sound of it. "That tastes disgusting," griped Tyrone Wallace, 26, of Brooklyn. "It made me want to throw up." Jones boasts that its bacon soda is vegetarian friendly and kosher. Those who tried it said it tastes like swill. Half of more than 40 people approached refused the taste test outright. "You are supposed to eat bacon not drink it," snapped Arlette Cepeda of the Bronx. David Horowitz was among a brave handful of Orthodox Jews willing to sample the swine-flavored soda. "My mother is rolling over at this one, but I will give it a try," said Horowitz, 46, who provided a running commentary as he guzzled. "Tastes like beef or something. It's quite strong, and thick. Oh! And it is gross! Who would want that?" At Peter Luger's steak house in Brooklyn, the reaction among meat-eaters was similar. "As much as I love bacon, it just turns me off," said waiter Otto Quintus, 65. After catching a whiff, bartender Jessie Bilotta turned away. "Oh God, no! It smells like dog poop," Bilotta, 28, said. "I wouldn't drink that even if it had alcohol in it." Seattle-based Jones Soda teamed up with J&D's Foods, the maker of bacon-flavored products such as Bacon Salt and Baconaisse, to produce the burgundy-colored beverage. For months, a team of "flavor experts" worked to simulate the perfect bacon flavor without adding any real bacon. The soda is being touted as part of a new cocktail, mixed with bourbon, an egg, cream, and soda water. Bacon soda can be bought only online as part of a package that includes other bacon-related foods. "Until now, it was impossible to guzzle your favorite breakfast meat, so this is a huge step for bacon lovers everywhere," said Jones Soda's Mike Spear. At least one New Yorker agrees. "It tastes just like it!" crowed Kci Rosado, a 16-year-old Bronx student. "That's amazing.""

I'd at least try it. I mean, who thought Bacon and chocolate or frosty and fries would be good, but both of those are gems. Granted, I would anticipate not liking this but it would at least be worth a shot.

My cousin and I used to dunk cheetos or doritos into chocolate jello pudding in elementary school. Awesome.

Bacon is basically it's own food group in my diet, and although I would try this once, I don't think I'd like it.

Why would a vegetarian want to eat or drink something that tasted like bacon?

It makes no sense, like dykes using dildos

Because they didn't used to be vegetarian and miss the taste.

sounds gross

Vegetarian isn't about inherently hating the taste of meat. Why, every vegetarian girl I know has always loved the taste of...

Oh wait, I got the sentiments confused.

the bacon popcorn sounds interesting. Bacon soda does not.

how addicting is bacon? http://consumerist.com/2010/03/to-your-brain-bacon-andchocolate-are-sort-of-like-cocaine.html

"Not surprisingly, the rats that gorged themselves on the human food quickly became obese. But their brains also changed. By monitoring implanted brain electrodes, the researchers found that the rats in the third group gradually developed a tolerance to the pleasure the food gave them and had to eat more to experience a high.
They began to eat compulsively, to the point where they continued to do so in the face of pain. When the researchers applied an electric shock to the rats' feet in the presence of the food, the rats in the first two groups were frightened away from eating. But the obese rats were not. "Their attention was solely focused on consuming food,"

I think they are well aware that this stuff blows and nobody likes it, they just want to keep their "kooky northwestern company" image.
