<div class="IPBDescription">Remember when we almost had bottled Onos</div> While mucking about in the forgotten topics of this board I came across an old thread that reminded me of the NS community's more friendly days <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> To think that for several days, the NS community almost forced a beverage company to place an image of an Onos on their label <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Does anyone have any information as to what happened? Did it get shot down or did Jones actually accept it for final review?

    They deleted it.

    It was a good try, though <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it was a grey-scale color onos that had a 3/4 veiw on the lable of "Jone's soda Co." brand soda bottle.

    the image was submitted in hopes that it'd be put on the bottle, and people would get interested. (yes, jone's soda bottles have consumer-submitted images. nothing explicit though, so dont even try.)

    How could they not make a onos bottle! I remeber voteing all the other bottles down many times.

    Why'd they delete it? It was winning by an enormous margin.
  • HauntedHaunted Join Date: 2003-03-01 Member: 14178Members
    Who can't remember deleting cookies to keep the onos ratings up, and modding other pictures down. Good times.

    Obviously they caught onto our conspiracy to vote down other pics and spam votes for Onos!

    The reason I heard was that it was CG, and they didn't want CG.

    Yes, you can (here in Southern Ontario) Check your grocery stores, and some convenience stores carry them as well..

    I have seen it in Michigan, ohio, Penn, and New Jersey.
    Wouldent a plush gorge look SO good on that bottle......

    Here is the webpage for Jones soda.
    <a href='http://www.jonessoda.com' target='_blank'>Jones Soda</a>

    The way it works is:

    1. Photo gets submitted to Jones Soda Co.
    2. People vote on it increasing its chances to be seen by mods and selection committee
    3. They select a few pictures and they become the new label.

    If you ever come across it in a store you will know what it is, pretty much every bottle is unique.
