Does the thought of bacon soda turn your stomach? Wait until you try it.
A parade of New Yorkers grimaced and retched after sips of the pig-inspired pop unveiled by Jones Soda Co. - or just at the sound of it.
"That tastes disgusting," griped Tyrone Wallace, 26, of Brooklyn. "It made me want to throw up."
Jones boasts that its bacon soda 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?"
