Tofurky

We don't know about you, but when we think of sitting down at our Thanksgiving table, we can't wait to carve a glorious, gelatinous hunk of Tofurky and slather it with gravy. But why save such faux-meat deliciousness for a special occasion?

That's presumably what Jones Pure Cane Soda thought when they created their Tofurky and Gravy soda. Succulently described as "soda you can chew on," the limited edition drink is being sold in a gift pack of three, plus three dessert-flavored zero-calorie drinks, all inside a retro "Cirque du Tofurky" lunchbox.

Here's a more on the story from Tonic:

Tofurky is made from organic tofu, vital wheat gluten, expeller pressed non-GMO canola oil and a secret blend of herbs and spices. The soy and the wheat give it that rich turkey consistency..."One of our founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, declared the turkey to be a bird of courage and a true, original American," said Joth Ricci, president and CEO of Jones Soda in an article posted on Bev Review. "While many think that eating turkey is the only way to celebrate Thanksgiving, we at Jones Soda suggest that this year you try something new and toast the noble bird with a cold bottle of Tofurky & Gravy."

If the turbid orange brew isn't tempting you consider this: for every purchase of the $11.99 gift pack, $1 will go to PAWS, a non-profit that advocates for animals through education, legislation and direct care. Which is why the label sports a cute dog jumping through a pile of leaves. Tofurky, gravy and happy dogs. Can we say, yum?

I'm all about Tofurky. And growing up in my house gravy was essentially a beverage (clearly my mom was a trendsetter) but me thinks I'll pass on the Tofurky soda this Thanksgiving. That's just straight-up gross.

I've always wondered if anyone buys the Jones "Holiday" sodas for anything other than a conversation piece.
