It seems only fitting that the inaugural Pop Kosher blog post would be about, well, pop. The innovative mixologists at Jones Soda Co. have combined forces with the bacon experts at J&D Foods to come up with a bacon-flavored soda. Buy yours here in a delicious gift pack, complete with 2 bottles of Jones Bacon Soda (Star-K), 1 bag of Bacon Pop popcorn (OU Pareve), 1 package of Bacon Gravy Mix (OU Dairy), and 1 tube of Bacon Lip Balm. Just in time for Hanukkah!
Okay, some might say that a meaty, carbonated concoction sounds gross. But for me, and kosher consumers like me, Jones Bacon Soda serves as another piece in the pig puzzle. It allows us to round out our understanding of what bacon really tastes like. “Facon” products like Bac-Os and Morningstar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips have gotten us this far, but Jones Bacon Soda gives us a new way to experience fake bacon flavor, which is the closest we’ll ever get.
And, even if this soda is just a gimmicky fad like the Crystal Pepsi or Pepsi Kona of yore, we can at least look forward to the inevitable SNL commercial spoof.
