This was really a lot of fun to see everybody’s expressions. What a fun post! I’m glad I didn’t have to drink it but just watch all of you brave people take the taste.

So… apparently, Ella is the only one that enjoyed the drink of death. Sounds gross and by the looks of you all, it tastes that way too.

It looks like so much fun! Many thanks to everyone who was willing to be blogged, and share the grins.

I’m very impressed that Amoeba wore a shirt that would match the turkey hat — so much style!

Ella’s on her way to WEST Virginia, West-by-God-Virginia, if she’s going to my daughter’s house. I’m still trying to talk my daughter into photographing her so we can blog her stay there… kids! I’ll keep trying.

Doug — all the joy we got from it was watching the others. We just had to pay for that joy by tasting it ourselves.

Mary — none of us “liked” it, but it wasn’t foul (pun intended).

Karen — I agree — Amoeba was mouring the loss of dignity the hat represented. He was staring at the cup of soda wondering if he was about to compound the indignities!

And, the drink wasn’t disgusting or vile (it also wasn’t good). It tasted like fizzy sugar water — however it did smell like turkey & gravy.

Gigi — LOL! Everybody at the party tasted — starting with me, but three of our guests declined to do so “for the record”.

Polona — it really didn’t taste all that bad. It smelled like turkey & gravy, though. That made tasting it a little more difficult. However, it really didn’t taste bad — it just didn’t taste good.

Jenn — that soda makes Jones a lot of money! Unopened, they are collector’s items. We, of course, opened ours. AND, a couple of times in the past I have bought the stuff and taken it to school and shared it with my students!

Linda — Amoeba is very mild mannered and gentile. Mostly.

Barbara — Thom did not have Thanksgiving Dinner at my house. He ate with his own family. He did stop by in the afternoon, but we hadn’t gotten the soda out yet and it was just popping in to say hi to Lavon & Tim. (And Amoeba & I, of course.)

Melli — I saw a kid in the grocery store wearing the turkey hat and asked him where he got it. He told me. I immediately drove to the store he indicated — and the manager said the kid was right. They had sold the turkey hats — LAST YEAR! I’m so sorry. I thought I had one for you.

Then I had an idea. If you want to be ready for next year, click here: Raw Turkey Hat

Thom — it mostly tasted like fizzy sugar water with a hint of turkey ….

Jim — Ella is on her way to Virgina. I expect she’s having a lovely rest in her shipping crate. And as for what I’m going to do next, Thom & I are cooking something up together.
