The Jones Soda company has come out with a new version of soda. You might remember the Jones company as being famous for their odd flavors, turkey and gravy etc.
Now they are giving consumers and political partisans a chance to cast their vote for McCain or Obama through the buying of their campaign edition soda. Campaign Cola 2008 has a way for you buy your vote. Each candidate has a special bottle with their picture. The more bottles you buy, the more votes they get.
Even better, you can customize a bottle with your own name and photo so you can pretend you're running for president. With every order you will receive...absolutely free...a special Campaign Cola 2008...button.
This might be fun to have on a shelf or in a refrigerator if you worked in a party's campaign office.
If you're a collector, there might be two ways of looking at these bottles. Obama's could well have some future value since he is a unique candidate and if he wins, this will be something that might bring in some dollars down the line. On the other hand, if McCain should pull off a win, his could be worth something and if he loses, his bottle might be worth money just for the curiosity of losing to Obama.
I still have 4 or 5 cans of "Clinton Cola" from 1996. Sold at the Dem Convention, it was produced in Granite City. Think they are worth anything?

We have some Billy Beer from the Carter years.
eBay has nothing on Clinton Cola so maybe it's just rare enough to be worth something
