Soda has a long history, beginning in the late 1700s, and interestingly, it was originally made using construction materials like calcium carbonate. As the beverage evolved, flavor innovation became essential for major brands like Coca-Cola. Limited-edition and unusual flavors have emerged over time, such as Jones Soda's Turkey and Gravy flavor, which generated significant buzz despite its less-than-appealing taste. The unique flavors keep consumers intrigued, blending novelty with the traditional soft drink experience, enhancing the landscape of soda offerings.
Though not the miracle cures they were marketed to be, those purported magical potions put the masses under a spell. That said, the trouble with mainstream success is finding new ways to reinvent the flavor wheel.
In 2003, [Jones Soda] released its weirdest flavor yet: Turkey and Gravy Soda. The limited-edition seasonal soda received an overwhelming response, subsequently selling out.
Jones's choice to use Splenda as the sweetener overpowered the nuanced notes of turkey and gravy, which only appeared in the aftertaste.
Despite its unappealing taste, the Turkey and Gravy soda created buzz for the burgeoning brand.
