A soda drink with turkey and gravy flavour that is described as undrinkable by its manufacturer has become a surprise bestseller in the United States, where families celebrate Thanksgiving today.

A company in Seattle called Jones Soda, which specialises in off-the-wall flavours, put 6,000 bottles on sale last week at 99 cents (60p). They sold out within hours. Yesterday, bidding on the eBay online auction site reached more than $60 for a bottle.

2. its a good marketing idea

the guy hates the way it tastes, but people want to see what it tastes like.

3. That embedded price figure

60p = 99c

That's nothing to be thankful for if you're an American.

But it's Just Another Day in the Empire.
