The Cola Wars—Campaign Style

Fri, July 18, 2008 - 3:56 PM

Now, here’s a poll you’ve got to see.

Obama leads McCain three to one in a cola campaign.

Jones Soda Co., known for their grassroots bottle-labeling (you can submit your own photo, and they’ll put it on the bottle), is selling various candidate colas, and the “Yes We Can Cola” bearing Obama’s smiling face is the top seller so far.

Soda fans have only bought about 2,100 bottles of “Pure McCain Cola” (the drink is pure cane cola) compared to Obama’s sales of 6900.

It could be the perfect conversation starter for you to bring to that next summer barbecue – a six pack of political fodder.

For the record, the “Ron Paul Revolution Cola” is still hot on the heals of the “Capitol Hillary Cola” in the contest, though neither has broken sales of 2,000.
