The Jones Soda Company now produces a
Tofurky-flavored soda drink.

The Jones Soda company is well known for its indie approach to bottling carbonated beverages with user-submitted photos printed on the labels.

Around this time of year, they're known for their revolting idea to sell a sort of holiday pack of their seasonal drinks.  These aren't "Oktoberfest" or "pumpkin latte" seasonal, but sodas flavored to taste like turkey and gravy.  This year, they're rolling out the same product, but 100% vegan.

The company calls the drink "Soda you can chew on" and is completely vegan having no meat flavorings or bone-char processed sugars.

The holiday pack includes the signature drink, a retro style lunchbox, and a couple temporary tattoos for some reason.

I was about to actually buy one of these packs, which sell for $11.99, until I saw the proceeds go towards an animal welfare society, "PAWS," the "Progressive Animal Welfare Society."  Unless you already know why I am one of many vegans who do not support animal welfarism, the organization supports ending the lives of animals raised for no other purpose than death by campaigning for "humane alternatives to killing."  PAWS defines one such mission as finding "humane methods of managing the conflict between geese and people."  Why not advocate for veganism instead of helping producers to find more consumer friendly ways of using and killing geese?  Are we really suggesting the use of geese in the first place is not a "conflict between geese and humans"?  I wouldn't be surprised if support from Tofurkey soda bottling companies were a hinderance for such a campaign.
