With the presidential election less than two months away, the whole country's been talking, breathing, and sleeping campaign politics. It's only natural, then, that we've been eating up campaign politics, too - and boy, is it tasty. We had some tough choices to make, but these treats get our top votes.

They're on Your Soda Bottle, Making You Laugh

I'll admit it now, I really love the awful lolspeak and lolcats, and I'm surprised by how much it's taken off. At first it was just something that people who spend too much time on the internet understood, and now almost everyone has seen the cheezburger cat that started it all. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about, check out these lolcat examples.)

So why am I talking about lolcats? Well, the folks at Jones Soda - yes the ones responsible for dirt flavored soda - want to put pictures of them on their bottles. That's right, lolcats will be in your stores adorning your soda!

Right now there's a contest to find the best lolcat for the labels. You can vote on other submissions or submit one yourself. You have until Apr. 25 to do it, so get cracking! I think this is so fun, u noes wut i meanz?

Want a Bottle of Dirt? How About Perspiration?

If you're an NFL fan - specifically a Seattle Seahawks one - or a fan of weird flavor experiences, then you better get your credit card out right now. Seattle based Jones Soda Co. is releasing a limited edition box set of sodas created specifically for the Seattle Seahawks. The box, which contains five flavors (Dirt, Sports Cream, Perspiration, Natural Field Turf, and Sweet Victory), will be available online for $19.95 plus shipping. They're taking online pre-orders now, and the sodas will be available in select stores.

If these flavors are anything like their purposely wretched Holiday Editions, then we're all in for a special treat.

Jones Soda spokesperson Clare Bowles told Business Week that the four literally named flavors are "pretty lifelike," while the Sweet Victory one tastes like berries. Bowles adds: "Perspiration Soda is kind of salty tasting."

Ugh, I am totally repulsed, and yet strangely, I want to know where I can pick up a box of my own...
