Hot Chips and Ham Pop

Well, here at Maxwell we think we know a little something about flavor...working with Potato Chip innovators like Kettle Foods and recently launching the fourth annual People's Choice campaign inviting fans to choose the next potato chip flavor.

But even the Potato Chip maker who brought fans flavors like Spicy Thai, Buffalo Bleu and Island Jerk (not to mention former People's Choice nominees Strawberries & Cream and Dirty Martini) has never done anything so daring as Ham Pop.

Nah, since Kettle Foods only makes flavors that actually taste really good, we'll just watch from afar with a mix of revoltion and adoration as Jones Soda releases holiday flavors including Sugar Plum, Chocolate Coins and, um, Christmas Ham. This year, in a departure from their now classic, revered and reviled, Turkey and Gravy soda, the company is launching two limited-edition packs, one for Christmas and one for Hanukkah. But even the Ham Pop is Kosher. Bonus, right?

For me, I'll stick with this year's Kettle Foods People's Choice: Fire and Spice flavors for something out of the ordinary (because they also taste awesome). The fiery nominees include: Wicked Hot Sauce, Mango Chili, Jalapeno Salsa Fresca, Orange Ginger Wasabi and Death Valley Chipotle. To take your favorite all the way to store shelves next summer head online to vote or pick up one of the limited-edition Party Packs for the holidays to taste the flavors. For just $14.95 plus shipping you could gift your friends with bags of all five spicelicious nominees - HOT.


And if you're tough enough - wash it down with a swig o' Ham Pop.

Cheers!
