Jones Soda Launches Campaign Cola

20080607_JonesCampaignCola.jpg

Jones Soda loves holidays and seasonal hoopla, as proven by its Candy Corn flavor during Halloween and (questionably delicious) Wild Herb Stuffing one in November. So it's no huge surprise that it launched Campaign Cola 2008, where three limited-edition colas honor each presidential pursuer. To vote, just click on your candidate's cola: Obama's Yes We Can, McCain's Pure McCain or Clinton's Capitol Hillary. (Though she may not be in the presidential race, she's still in the bottle race!)

The polls as of this morning:
Obama = 2,694 bottles
McCain = 1,170 bottles
Clinton = 996 bottles

Jones Soda adds an educational layer to this marketing approach by linking to voter registration info and important quotes from each candidate, encouraging cola drinkers to make wise decisions when purchasing their $14.99 six-packs.

Red Bull and Cola Sitting in a Tree

20080326_RedBullCola.jpgThat svelte Red Bull can won't just contain fluorescent yellow stuff anymore—it could have brown liquid in there too! The brand is launching a "strong and natural" cola alternative with crazy ingredients like mustard seeds, ginger, cloves, licorice, orange and cardamom. Following suit of Pepsi Raw and Retro, this could be part of a growing "healthier" pop trend. Maybe I want phosphoric acid in my cola, okay, Red Bull?
