Les Bonnes Choses

What if Canadian television producers concentrated on making just a single program that doesn't evoke utter contempt for our television industry? They could funnel all that money that they put into melodramas set in PEI and sitcoms written to patronize Canada's ethnic minorities, and maybe come up with something that doesn't suck.

So for the past few years, we have celebrated the season with festive holiday flavours of Jones Soda. Last year we had the Turkey Dinner revisited, featuring flavours like Turkey and Gravy, Dinner Roll, Sweet Potato and Antacid. We fortunately missed the year before which had Salmon Pate. I think the smell of a fishy carbonated beverage would have been very upsetting. This year, they have a Christmas Ham, Egg Nog, Sugar Plum, and ... Christmas Tree? WTF? People don't EAT Christmas trees. That's just stupid. Oh well, it won't matter anyways, because our normal dealer supplier wasn't able to bring any up from the US when they came to visit. The Channukah pack might have been interesting. Not sure about Latke flavoured sodas, but the Apple Sauce, Jelly Donut and Chocolate Coin flavours might not be too bad. Plus, hello! Dreidel inside!
