Jones' Soda Co.

    I recently found one of my local shops (the newsagents in omni) stocking bottles of Jones' drinks, some US/Canadian company that seems to have a kind of unusual but charming philosophy (the flavours are somewhat unusual, you can send in your picture for the chance of having it show up on some stock etc.).

    I tried all the ones available - about 3 or 4 flavours - and they were OK, but their Cream Soda was absolutely gorgeous.

    Anyway, said local shop has been out of Cream Soda for a few weeks now and I went in today to see that there were no Jones' at all... which either means it's insanely popular and they only get one delivery a week or its insanely unpopular and they've decided to stock boring, normal drinks again.

    Either way, it's bad news for me and my Jones' Cream Soda addiction... so given that their site doesn't deliver outside North America I'm looking to see if anyone knows of other Jones' stockists in Dublin?

    At the risk of making it even harder for myself to get more of this stuff, if you like Cream Soda of any description you have to try this... it's superb.

    I see you are on the Northside of Dublin.

    The Hilton Airport Hotel on the Malahide Road at Tesco Clare Hall has a shop beside it called Fresh.

    They sell it, and always seem to have stock.

    Wish I'd read this thread a half hour ago though, I was just down there getting smokes and could have got a bottle of this. Closed now though.

    They also stock other Cream Sodas too :)

    Ah, I know the place you're talking about.

    I've only been there once and it seems like the perfect place for this kind of obscure stuff (If you're willing to pay extra for it, that is!)... didn't even cross my mind though.

    Thanks for that - will give it a go... and the other cream sodas too!

    Found this stuff in Centra in Finglas last week. Have only tried two of the flavours. Havent tried Cream Soda yet. Only thing is it looked bad walking down the street with a glass bottle and a blue drink in. Has a resemblence to Blue WKD.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,234 ✭✭✭Malteaser!


    They have it in a deli called Silverspoon in Castleknock, too far away from the omni to go for a drink though me thinks!!


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 10,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭flogen


    I actually found some Jones' in two shops in Shanard (Shanard News and The Late Shop), but no Cream Soda...

    It seems to be becoming far easier to find, although the shop keeper I asked told me what they get is luck of the draw and the cream soda seems hard to come by for some reason...

    Probably because it's so delicious!!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 848 ✭✭✭Dinxminx


    They sell it in Dundrum on one of the half levels.... Had it once - the blue one. Wasn't too fond of it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,317 ✭✭✭CombatCow

    Understatement of the year tbh, this stuff if gorgeous. I bought two bottles down in Fresh, they had two left ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,039 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    I've seen it several times in shops in the city centre. Centra, Londis and the No:1 shops.

    They have it in Mortons in Galway. I found it a few weeks ago and I love it. I really want to try the Cream Soda, but they only have a red one, blue one and green one :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    This stuff seems to be the current drink fad of all posh school kids. Seeing lots of them swig bottles of the stuff and leave empties on the Luas.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 10,446 Mod ✭✭✭✭xzanti


    The fufu berry one is lovely.. got a bottle in Bon Espresso on Mount Street yesterday.. Very tasty indeed :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 87 ✭✭flyingdagger


    mmmmm the cream soda one is savage.Addictive though.Got 2 bottles one day and the shop hasn't had them since.i've had a look online but no sign of being able to get some delivered to Ireland.Anyone know does any site deliver Jones' soda?:)

    Yeah, it's pretty addictive which is why it's not surprising to see shops with blue, red and green bottles but no beautiful Cream Soda.

    (Frankly, I'm just waiting for the story to appear that a certain imported soft drink was found to contain large quantities of liquid heroin. There's no other explanation)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 344 ✭✭XxlauraxX


    i have tasted Fufu berry,strawberry lime,bubblegum,green apple and cream soda. i didnt like the cream soda my favourite is Fufu berry!!!:D:p:p:D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,036 ✭✭✭BArra


    sickly sweet

    tried the apple and fufu berry, absolutely disgusting IMO :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 Chat Mauvais


    Wow!...I just came upon this site tonite...and as luck would have it...(or maybe not,judging by some of the "ewww" comments made about these drinks!)...I saw this in a Garage in Kells,Co. Meath,...and thought "Holy Banana's",.....they're sellin 'Alcopops' in the Flamin Petrol Station now!..so I picked it up and was stunned to see that it was a soft drink....now I was actually going to buy some,but, because I was driving, I didn't wanna be stopped by some over zealous Garda,and Breathalyzed!!.:)..so I left it alone...but after reading all of the postings...I'll be sure to pick up a bottle next time......but as they had a fair few flavours,I don't know which one to buy.......still at €1.65 a pop,well I may just get 1 of each......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss

    You could try ringing one of the distributors in Dublin. Check the phone book for Simply Declicious snacks and drinks. They are one of the distributors and may be able to help you.

    Dunnes in the Stevens Green Centre have them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Got crate of cream soda today for nothing.


    I hate temptation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,195 ✭✭✭Corruptedmorals


    Centra on Dame Street (near Starbucks) stocks it and so does the newsagents on Grafton Street, near Mc Donalds. In the cyberbandy shop in London, they had Jones Soda sweets..

    It's Stephens green, not Stevens:mad: Topshop receipts print Steven's Green as well..idiots.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 228 ✭✭redshoulder


    Can get them in Aldi starting this thursday.

    Oh god. Bad, bad memories!!

    I used the strawberry one last summer as a mixer with vodka. It tastes great, but a combination of the overwhelming sweetness and the drink being so easy to knock back resulted in me puking up lurid pink vomit within a couple of hours. That was almost exactly a year ago too. Ugh... :(.

    The cream soda tastes like liquid candy floss with even MORE sugar

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 55 ✭✭DFB BOY

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    Supervalu sometimes have them. So do Lidl/Aldi occasionally.

    Topic on Jones Soda. I love that brand of soda. I bet it's a bit difficult to get it outside the USA. It's a soda company based in Seattle WA USA, the same city where I live, so naturally every store and gas station sells them. I had been reading some of the post and find out that it's almost rare to find in Ireland. I personally didn't like the taste of Cream Soda, my favorite is green apple and berry lemonade.

    [ am I the first to reply outside of Ireland? (on this specific topic) ]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40 Jamesy..961


    They have thede flavoured sweets too that you can put into the drink or jus eat them! They are pure class!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭RonMexico


    Feehans Foodstore in Thomondgate Limerick (opposite the Topaz as you approach Thomond Park) have all the different flavoured Jones drinks. Loads of retro sweets too. Yum:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 177 ✭✭sassychick


    Jcs in swords stock a load of flavours ive never tried them tink ill have to sample a few:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    I love Jones Soda. You can get them in the newsagent in Dundrum, the newsagent at the Balally Luas and the newsagent opposite St Stephen's Green centre. Yum yum.
