Now to get a little rant-a-rific. For those of you who find it fun to harass me about the fact that I find the mere thought of the Jones Turkey and Gravy soda disgusting (*Cough* angryjonny *Cough*), I wish to point out the following things:
a) There are plenty of non-vegetarians who find the idea disgusting. b) If I want to eat something resembling turkey, I'd just eat turkey. I won't eat a tofurkey, so why would I want to try faux turkey in liquid form? c) The fact that it apparently contains no real turkey makes the whole concept worse, because I don't want to know what they use to approximate the taste of turkey. It can't be good for you. d) I don't want to lose any of my taste and style street cred, 'cause really, when you think about it, you know the perfect spokesman for Turkey and Gravy soda would be Keven Federline or a carnie (which may actually be redundant).
i wholeheartedly agree. disgusting!!! it's like blue food! why must it exist!!!

first and foremost, that it tastes anything like turkey- or even tofurkey- for that matter.
After imbibing more of it than is currently recommended by the surgeon general, I can say with some certainty that it tastes like a disingenuous apology: it's wholly unfulfilling, remarkably hard to swallow, and leaves a terrible taste in your mouth.

Don't knock it. My thesis was 12 minutes away from not making it to the dean for approval and I would have had to wait ANOTHER semester before getting my master's. Of course, I didn't realize this until I was about 30 minutes away from campus WITH my thesis. "Galahad" may mock my driving wormhole abilities but they DO and HAVe served me well.

Pabst is not a "decent beer for being American made". There are thousands of American beers that are far, far better. The strongest endorsement that I can give it is that among mass-produced domestic beers it decent, which is to say a noticable cut above Bud or Miller, and it is ironically chic to order a PBR in many places in NYC...but then again, so is Sparks.
Exactly. Anyone drinking PBR who isn't 15 and hiding underneath the aluminum bleacher seats of their high school football field is desperate for nostalgic hipster cred. If you'd looking to establish your domestic beer cred, drink a Rogues or, if you must, Brooklyn Lager.
Well good thing I never claim to have that cred. As a kid PBR was a favorite along with Genesee which is why I still like them today,of course I was drinking it when it was still a pull tab. Given a choice it will be Harp or Guinness. PBR is simply the lesser of two evils when considering the Domestic Beer Market. I did not mean to include the smaller beer companies as such. It was meant more towards coors, Bud, Miller and the like.
