News: Candiwch Has Arrived!

This may just be your new favorite "soda." Well, it comes in a can anyway. Perhaps one could wash it down with a Jones Antacid soda. Oh yes, it exists.

News: Pepsi to make a more green bottle

Nicely done, Pepsi.
They have committed to making their bottles from plant products instead of plastics. Let's hope that this trend picks up from all soda manufacturers!
See the below official press release from PepsiCo

PepsiCo has developed the world's first 100% PLANT-BASED, 100% RECYCLABLE PET BOTTLE! This innovative bottle is made from bio-based materials including switch grass, pine bark and corn husks. The use of plant-based materials eliminates the need for petroleum, significantly reducing the bottle's carbon footprint. Look out for the new "green" bottle in 2012! Mother Nature must be so proud!

Candwich - Soda News

If you missed it on the Colbert Report this Summer, here is a picture of the potentially-soon-to-be-released sandwich-in-a-can! I don't know if one would drink it or how this would actually work. Still, soda news is soda news and this looks a lot like a soda. I would have thought that the good people at Jones Soda would have broken this ground first. The actual story of the sodawich could not be contained - see the whole thing on Colbert: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/340924/july-08-2010/emergency-thought-for-food---candwich-setback
