Review: Jones Soda Candy Corn Soda (2008)
Oct 13th, 2008 by Steve
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Jones Soda Candy Corn Soda keeps returning year after year as part of the Jones Soda Halloween collection. It's a vile, neon yellow-colored beverage that we've previously described as "dirty urine".
Having first appeared in 2005, it returned in 2006, then again in 2007. The only real change was in 2007 when the sweetener shifted to inverted cane sugar vs. high fructose corn syrup.
This incarnation once again comes in an 8 oz. can featured as part of a 4-park exclusive to Target. Gone are the scary pumpkin faces. This time around we've got a brown-colored design that depicts a werewolf with huge fangs. Well, it's either that or an Ewok on steroids.
The taste is still the same… heavy on syrup, with a smell and flavor hearkening back to maple syrup. Very sweet, nothing at all like candy corn itself. I wouldn't mind a real candy corn soft drink. This, however, is not it.
Did you like this review? Digg it.
sounds so incredibly gross…. we're gonna have to try it!
off to Target we go… yummmmmmmmy.
[...] and you'll probably get the right idea. The color is yellow-ish, but not quite as nuclear as say a Jones Soda Candy Corn [...]

Great stuff!!! taste good!
I'm a big candy corn fan so I gave this a try this weekend. Like the review says, it really doesn't taste like candy corn at all, but it's also not as bad as the review paints it in my opinion. For me, it really just tasted like a much sweeter (syrupy?) version of a cream soda. Not great, but not terrible. 8oz is all you need at one time though, anything larger would probably have driven this into disgusting territory.
