Would you drink this?
Salmon-flavored soda, anyone?
Jones Soda adds a Pacific Northwest twist to its Thanksgiving flavors, and it smells fishy.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - For beverage connoisseurs tired of turkey-and-gravy or green-beans-and-casserole-flavored sodas, there's a new choice being offered this year by specialty U.S. soda manufacturer Jones Soda Co.: salmon.

Jones Soda, the Seattle company that scored a hit during the last two holiday seasons with its turkey-and-gravy-flavored sodas, said it is offering the orange-hued fish-flavored drink this year in a nod to the Pacific Northwest's salmon catch.

"When you smell it, it's got that smoked salmon aroma," said Peter van Stolk, chief executive of Jones Soda.

The artificially flavored salmon soda will be offered as part of a $13 "regional holiday pack" that also includes other unusual sodas such as turkey & gravy, corn on the cob, broccoli casserole and pecan pie.

16. Ah ha! My record was set bring a boat north from Key West to New York.
On one leg of our journey I was up from sunrise until 9 the following night. I think that was about 40 hours.

It wasn't intentional. We ran into huge waves and foul weather after we pulled out of Charleston. Sometimes there is no turning back. This is the 60 foot Striker my ex and I were refitting and transporting.

17. 40 hours...dang...
I'm still in college, so I still could beat your record of 40 hours.

Not that I'd want to, though. :(

19. Lack of sleep is terrible for both the body and the brain. I suggest ...
that you try to develop better sleeping habits asap.

When I miss getting enough sleep, as has been the case for me occasionally, everything hurts. It takes a bit more awareness on my part to avoid biting someone's head off.

7. Have you ever tried any of those?
They sound nasty!

Great tasting food in carbonated beverage form...doesn't sound appealing...
