We received this lovely gift from our friends at Izea a few days after the Thanksgiving holiday. We chilled the Tofurky and Gravy Jones Soda in the fridge and then we got to work testing it out. To be honest, we were both kind of scared to drink something titled “Tofurkey and Gravy” soda. Forrest insisted that he saw white tofu chunks, but I saw no such thing. Are you ready to see a video of Forrest testing out the soda for the very first time? (complete with the Izea turkey hat?)

I guess it’s obvious Forrest was not a fan. Though he’s really picky for the most part with sodas so I wasn’t surprised. I went ahead and braved it myself, and took a few sips. It wasn’t awful – and it definitely tasted “Thanksgiving-y” but I am not sure it’s something we would purchase for ourselves. It almost tasted sort of like soup!
We were mean parents and gave some to Carli to test out. She LOVES soda (often tries to steal ours when we go out) so I was wondering what she would think of it. Would she go “Ahhhh!” which is a symbol of success?
I don’t think she could have run away any faster! If she had liked it, she probably would have grabbed a hold of the soda bottle and took it from her father. The fact that she ran away only indicated that it wasn’t her thing. She sure is a sport, though! (And cute to boot!)
I think the concept of Tofurkey and Gravy soda is just hysterical. Not to be taken seriously, I think it would make a great gag gift to bring to social functions. I may have even given this to my brother had it arrived in time. It would have been too funny to get his reactions on camera (as well as the rest of my family).
On the positive side, it really doesn’t taste exactly like I thought it would. Sweeter, and lighter than I initially thought. I imagined my mouth full of a thick cough-syrup like feeling but instead it was light (for the most part). Forrest insisted he thought it was thick, but I really didn’t think so. More like, “Full of flavor”!
Although Tofurkey and Gravy soda wasn’t our thing, we still love Jone’s soda and the personalization they put into their products!
