Jones Soda
by GhostAlph March 25, 2008 10:32 AM PDT: Yeah, I'd say you'r overthinking it a bit - if you've looked at any of the past Jones Soda labels, you'll notice that very few, if any, have anything to do with soda per se. In fact, the sometimes goofy, consumer-provided label photographs that caught my attention; labels as diverse as the flavor selection.
These days it's rather rare to see a label that actually pertains to the product except in that it has the logo or name somewhere on it. Look at the latest Pepsi cans. What does a city skyline have to do with soda? About as much as a LOLCat.; Like this Reply to this comment

Hmm.... Slow Day?
by mattheid March 25, 2008 1:43 PM PDT: what you couldn't find anything else to write about? Have you ever even heard on Jones Soda? Jones Soda is known, albeit not widely known, for putting weird random pictures on their labels; most of which are sent in their customers. LOLcats on soda labels doesn't make sense, however, LOLcats on Jones Soda labels make perfect sense.

When you wokeup this morning did you think "Hmm... I'm going to write something today that highlights my ignorance." I don't know why I bother reading the garbage on this site anyways.; Like this Reply to this comment

It's not about marketing...
by scottwcox March 29, 2008 1:09 PM PDT: I don't think putting the kitties on the bottles was a marketing
ploy, per se. To analyze it as such is probably missing the point. I
think that Jones' goal was to increase the value of the product,
albeit just a smidge, for those who already drink the stuff. That, if
you ask me, is the best "marketing" a company can have for a
product.; Like this Reply to this comment
