It may be disgusting at first, but one company claims there’s a market for bacon-flavored soda.

Jones Soda has now created a bacon-flavored carbonated product.

The company said bacon is a popular flavor and it is their duty to carbonate bacon’s salty goodness.

Jones Soda is well-known for its unusual flavors such as turkey and gravy, salmon pate, and mashed potato and butter.

The Food Police: San Francisco Officials Ban Happy Meals With Veto Proof Majority Vote

What’s next.. the toy in the cereal box? How about cracker Jax?

It seems the San Francisco Board of Supervisors has accomplished what the Hamburglar never could. They’ve made off with McDonald’s fare.

The supes today passed an ordinance that will require meals to meet nutritional guidelines if restaurants wish to include a toy with the food purchase.

More importantly, the supes passed the so-called “Happy Meal Ban” by an 8-3 vote — meaning it can survive a promised veto from Mayor Gavin Newsom. That’s right: San Francisco done banned the Happy Meal. Robble robble.

All along, the critical vote on Supervisor Eric Mar’s ordinance belonged to Supervisor Bevan Dufty — you could label him the city’s Burger Kingmaker. For weeks, Dufty refused to disclose which way he was leaning. Now we know.

It’s an interesting choice for a mayoral candidate running as a pro-business moderate. But it’s not a decision that was arrived at lightly. Dufty’s office began to resemble a McDonald’s, actually: Billions and billions of stakeholders served.

Then again, local young people have rated the toys found in happy meals as “sucky.” So it’s not such a grand haul.
