Turkey dinner with all the trimmings

fenchurchI'm sure nearly everyone has heard about the Jones Soda Holiday Pack by now -- Turkey and Gravy Soda, Cranberry Soda, Mashed Potato and Butter Soda, Green Bean Casserole Soda, and Fruitcake Soda.
Well, after scouring the local stores with no luck, I decided to give the website a try... the packs went on sale this morning and, predictably, their servers promptly crashed. After spending a very frustrating half hour on their website, I finally got to where it was listed in their online store, only to not have any obvious links on how to order it.
I tried clicking on every link on the page (often losing my connection with the site and having to reload and reload and reload), and near as I can tell there's no way to actually ORDER the stuff from their website. I managed to track down their phone number and after a few repeated dialings got through to a very nice lady who said it's been a madhouse there this morning and took my order over the phone. Whee!!!
I'd intended to only order one of the Holiday Packs, but when she said I could order up to two I figured I may as well get the extra one. Hey, you never know, the stuff could wind up being incredibly delicious! :-p
And if not, there's always eBay.
