Jones Soda launches Mary Jones zero-sugar THC drinks

Mr. Scott Harvey reports JONES SODA LAUNCHES MARY JONES ZERO, "SKIP THE HANGOVER, KEEP THE FUN: MARY JONES zero SUGAR HITS SHELVES" Jones Soda Co. today unveiled Mary Jones zero-sugar, zero-calorie craft sodas, just in time to lift consumers from the holiday season's myriad of "forced fun" obligations. While Jones has stripped all artificial colours from its full line of hemp-derived THC beverages -- giving them a clean, crystal-clear look -- even the company cannot save you from endless office parties, a second Friendsgiving or the art of dodging dinner-table interrogations about your life choices. Mary Jones zero provides a light, flavourful lift without the guilt. Crafted to deliver a balanced, approachable high that pairs well with unsolicited advice about careers or marital status. The lift without the letdown Mary Jones delivers everything fans love about Jones: bold flavour, vibrant carbonation and that unmistakable Jones personality -- now in both classic and zero-sugar options. The new zero-sugar line comes in sleek 12-ounce cans, while full-sugar fans can stick with the iconic 12 oz cans. Both options are crafted with zero artificial colours and designed to provide a balanced, approachable high that is fun, not fuzzy. Perfect for those who want all the fun without the hangover -- or anyone who needs a smile while sidestepping Aunt Linda's relentless questions about life, love and "if you're still at that same job." "People love the flavour and nostalgia of Jones Soda," said Scott Harvey, chief executive officer of Jones Soda. "With HD9, we've created a new kind of social beverage -- one that tastes incredible, hits just right and fits perfectly into those moments when you just want to take a breather and enjoy yourself." Mary Jones could not have arrived at a better time. The holidays are here -- and Mary Jones makes them taste better. Coolers carve out space at retail After exceeding expectations with a Q2 refrigerated cooler pilot, Jones is taking the program nationwide -- rolling out 800 Mary Jones-branded coolers along with engaging POS material to top liquor, grocery, chain and independent retailers across the country. "Our cooler program proved it -- once consumers taste Mary Jones, there's no going back," said Mr. Harvey. "This is liquid to lips in action, putting our brand front and centre where decisions and cravings happen." Rolling out nationwide With the global hemp beverages market projected to soar from $5.7-billion (U.S.) in 2024 to $18.2-billion (U.S.) by 2033 (Growth Market Reports), Mary Jones is perfectly positioned to ride this wave of mainstream growth. To celebrate the launch, Jones Soda is rolling out Mary Jones nationwide with branded coolers, in-store tastings and holiday-themed marketing campaigns at select liquor and retail partners. Fans can expect exclusive tasting parties, giveaways and behind-the-scenes glimpses of Mary Jones cans coming off the production line. After all, nothing says holiday spirit like a perfectly balanced buzz and a soda that actually tastes amazing. About Jones Soda Co.
