...and is this really disgusting?

Coming Soon: Holiday Sodas
Coming soon next to the Coke and Pepsi in a store near you: ham- and latke-flavored soda to make your holiday feast complete.
It will even be kosher, the company making it says -- including the ham.
Jones Soda Co., the Seattle purveyor of offbeat fizzy water, is selling holiday-themed, limited edition packs of flavored sodas.
The Christmas pack will feature such flavors as Sugar Plum, Christmas Tree, Egg Nog, and Christmas Ham. The Hanukkah pack will have Jelly Doughnut, Apple Sauce, Chocolate Coins, and Latkes sodas.
"As always, both packs are kosher and contain zero caffeine," Jones said in a statement.
The packs will go on sale Sunday, with a portion of the proceeds to be given to charity, the company said.
Jones' products feature original label art and frequently odd flavors. Last year's seasonal pack was Thanksgiving-themed, with Green Pea, Sweet Potato, Dinner Roll, Turkey and Gravy, and Antacid sodas.
For its contract to supply soda to QWest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks, Jones came up with Perspiration, Dirt, Sports Cream, and Natural Field Turf. The company -- fortunately or unfortunately -- prides itself on the accuracy of the taste.
Jones also makes more traditional flavors, including root beer, cherry, and strawberry sodas.

There is a job I don't want: taste tester for Jones Soda Co.

I'm not sure what disturbs me more: the implication that there is some sort of ham flavoring here which has absolutely nothing to do with actual ham, or the thought of soda flavored with actual ham.

The, more, uh, normal-flavored Jones sodas, though, are IMHO very good.

That's three for three. The few people to whom I have shown this item invariably mention the ham-flavored soda and none other. I, personally, would rather drink dirt or sod, rather than sweat.
