...bacon soda...unveiled by Jones Soda Co. - is vegetarian friendly and kosher. Those who tried it said it tastes like swill. Half of more than 40 people approached refused the taste test outright. "You are supposed to eat bacon not drink it," snapped Arlette Cepeda of the Bronx.

David Horowitz was among a brave handful of Orthodox Jews willing to sample the swine-flavored soda. "My mother is rolling over at this one, but I will give it a try," said Horowitz, 46, who provided a running commentary as he guzzled. "Tastes like beef or something. It's quite strong, and thick. Oh! And it is gross! Who would want that?"

...Seattle-based Jones Soda teamed up with J&D's Foods, the maker of bacon-flavored products such as Bacon Salt and Baconaisse, to produce the burgundy-colored beverage. For months, a team of "flavor experts" worked to simulate the perfect bacon flavor without adding any real bacon.
The soda is being touted as part of a new cocktail, mixed with bourbon, an egg, cream, and soda water.
