Jones Soda is one of the sponsors of Blog World Expo and as part of their promotion, they’ve put photos of some of the speakers on their soda bottles. As luck would have it, Jones put me on their orange & cream soda, which is one of my favorite flavors.
I wanted to drink the soda but Jones only made a dozen bottles per speaker. The only other speaker with the same flavor was Wendy Piersall of Sparkplugging. So I drank her bottle instead. After I drank her bottle, I went to the show floor, tracked down Wendy and gave her the empty bottle. You can see her reaction in this video.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

I think they are running low on John Chow Soda… or you already took them all! haha… time for another bag! Everyone loves the Orange & Cream!
Wouldn’t you take them all too if your head was on the bottle?
I saw a lot of people walking on the Vegas strip today with Jones Soda… I was wondering what was up. lol
I have 7 so far of mine!.. muhahaha!
You are funny!! She’ a great sport! So the fun begins.. .I will not be attending, I am sitting in my not furnished office looking out into the runway. I love my view.
Can’t help but to picture each plane landing with a Blogger… Keep it fun
Ha, that is awesome. Jones soda is so good. I would definitely put that in a glass case and preserve it for eternity.

Gotta love the personal branding touch.
This video is great! Thanks for sharing it John. You’re quite the jokester…first taking Izea shirts and now JohnChow Jones soda!
aw wendy’s so sweet (no pun intended). my sister made personalized jones soda bottles for my little nephew’s red egg and ginger party and it’s still sitting on my mantle
Would be awesome if you gave one away on your blog as a contest. *hint *hint.
Oh Steven, what a great idea. You’re a genius!
John Chow is turning into a criminal. Stealing t-shirts from everyone, and now all the orange and cream sodas. And if it’s not his sodas he’s stealing, he’s drinking everyone else’s.
Haha that is freaking awesome. Having your picture on a soda bottle is a really cool idea. Sounds like you are having lots and lots of fun and I am a little jealous. I have to make sure I will be there next year
I just did a little research on the Jones Soda thing, and John, you missed out on making some big money.
Jones soda has an affiliate program you could be a part of. You get 10% commission on every sale.
People could have clicked through your affiliate link, bought their own personalized Jones Soda for $30, and you would have gotten rich and could retire.
Smart Cookie, indeed they have one.
One thing, John. Viddler seems to be really reducing the audio in your videos. They were much louder and clearer on YouTube.
Awesome marketing for Jones Soda too… on top of sponsoring they get the bloggers to mention them too!
The drink looks great…..i am sure the promotion the brand got must have made the cash register also look great
Too cool!
lol.. very funny..
the music at the end is amazing :p
SOOOO…evil John! lol

John, send one for me if possible , I’m in Malaysia
Fantastic branding. And Jones Soda tastes good as well. I was glad when they started selling it in the States.
Nice shirt John!
I don’t know how the hell I missed this post, but I had to drop by to tell you that you ROCK. As in ROCK STAR, because only rock stars get onto Jones Soda bottles.
(No, no, it’s a complete fabrication that *anyone* can get their picture on a Jones Soda bottle. Really, don’t even try to find them because you won’t. Trust me on this one.)
