Fans in frenzy as staple 2010s drink re-appears in Irish sweet shop
Irish people have taken a sweet trip down memory lane as a staple drink reappeared in a shop in Limerick. For those who are maybe too young to remember Jones Soda, the 'craft' soda was made with cane sugar, and came in 'different' flavours ranging from green apple to bubblegum (which was blue for some reason — although it was the most memorable flavour!) Despite sales of the soda falling off a cliff in the past decade, sometimes you can find yourself lucky enough to find a bottle; and if you're in Limerick, you're in luck, as it has reappeared in Candy Castle, a shop in the Treaty County. @43_candy_castle #americandrinks#sweets#fyp#limerickcity#Ireland#bags ♬ Hot Hot Hot (Made Popular By Buster Poindexter) [Vocal Version] – Party Tyme Karaoke The shop, which sells international candy, went viral after sharing that they had an array of Jones flavours, with people commenting that they haven't had a drink of it in years (yours truly included). 'Haven't had Jones in about 15 years,' one person commented. 'I thought they stopped doing them. I used to enjoy the green one, full of sugar mind you,' while another commented 'Blue Jones! Haven't drank a bottle of that in years.' 'Missed these, I feel like I was drinking perks from [Call of Duty] Zombies,' while another asked 'anyone else used to mix the flavours? Blue and green mix slaps.' Jones Soda was a staple over the years. Pic: MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty Images Jones Soda is still around (albeit in far smaller quantities), and started in 1995. Despite its flavours being considered different in any sense, they've also released even more bizarre flavours; including bacon in 2010 (yes, seriously) poutine soda (right), and 'invisible' soda, where no flavours or ingredients were listed, rather just a photo (okay, that one sounds pretty funny). They also released 'seasonal' sodas over the years, including Christmas ham soda, Egg Nog soda, and 'Big Ass Canned Ham' soda (we're not sure what their obsession with ham flavoured soda was, either).
