Sizzle me this, sizzle me that, where can I get candy with snap?  The new Jones Soda Carbonated Candy comes in three tasty flavors: Green Apple, Fufu Berry, and Berry Lemonade.  Want it?  Me too.

Here’s the press release:

Seattle, WA, U.S.A. – Jones Soda Co. (the “Company” or “Jones Soda”), today announced an
exclusive licensing agreement with Big Sky Brands, Inc. to create Jones Soda flavor booster
candy.
The launch of Jones Soda Flavor Boosters gives Jones the opportunity to enter the candy aisle of
stores. Jones Soda Flavor Boosters will make its debut in unique metal tins with three Jones Soda
flavors: Green Apple, Fufu Berry, and Berry Lemonade. Just like Jones Soda, under each lid
Jones will feature quotes sent in by consumers. Jones Soda Flavor Boosters will be available in
select alternative, convenience and grocery locations across the country in early 2006.
Jones Soda Flavor Boosters allow the consumer to make any drink a “Jones”. By simply adding
these Jones Soda flavor boosters to a bottle of water will give it an intense Jones flavor.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be taking part in the Jones Soda revolution. The extension of the
Jones brand into confectionery is a natural fit with potential for expansion into new and established
retail markets for Jones,” said Steve Yacht, Director of Sales and Marketing at Big Sky Brands.
“With our existing line of teen and young adult oriented candy and mints, Big Sky is particularly well
positioned to launch the Jones brand into our established network of candy retailers across the
United States and Canada.”
“When Big Sky approached us with the idea of making Jones Flavor Boosters, we felt this was a
great opportunity to showcase our Jones premium flavors in the candy section of the store,” said
Peter Van Stolk, CEO of Jones Soda Co. “Our partnership with Big Sky gives Jones consumers
yet another way to enjoy the unique flavors we create.”
Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Jones Soda Co., sells its Jones Soda products through its
distribution network in select markets across North America. A leader in the premium soda
category, Jones is known for its innovative labeling technique that incorporates always-changing
photos sent in from its consumers. Jones Soda is sold through traditional beverage retailers and
everywhere you’d never expect to find a soda.
