Jones Soda Carbonated Candy

Jones Soda Company, whom we covered recently with their Candy Corn Soda is bringing us “Jones Soda Flavor Booster Candy” in 2006. The carbonated candy can be eaten solo or can be added to a drink or to water for a flavor burst. They will be available in Green Apple, Fufu Berry, and Berry Lemonade flavors.

Sounds pretty good – maybe like Pop Rocks without the pop?
