I haven't seen the stuff in years. Maybe somebody is ressurecting it? I remember their old logo "Jolt Cola. All of the sugar and twice the caffine!"

Perhaps not a lot by modern energy drink standards, but it was great stuff when I was in high school. During the pleistocene.

I know there's an energy drink called "jolt" that i keep seeing. Not sure if it's the same thing as 'jolt cola', but it's all over the place around here.

I remember Jolt Cola too. They took it off the market here in Utah years and years ago, though. Not sure if it is still available elsewhere, but I would imagine it is.

It might be the same makers, but it's not the same.

Jolt Cola is still available, I actually bought one a few months ago on a lark, after remembering fondly how great it was. It turns out nostalgia is not very accurate. It's a very poor quality cola... I'd rather just drink two Cokes or even *shudder* Pepsi's over one Jolt Cola.

Not by my reckoning...

Note: Canadian versions of pops sodas are significantly different from their US counterparts. I used to work for a large food manufacturer and at our plant we made US and Canadian formulations of the same product. The compositions of those products were amazingly different. You Yanks like the stuff really sweet, whereas us Canucks prefer a more salty/bitter taste. (in the aggregate)

actually the main difference in Canadian soda pop and American is the difference between high fructose corn syrup and cane sugar.... Canadians use cane sugar whereas Americans use nasty high fructose corn syrup...

As an engine degreaser you mean? I agree. Although did you know that some people think Pepsi is actually meant for human consumption?

*pokes head in*

It has been foung to be a great cleaner of concrete too. I use to work in a pepsi were house where the occasional spill happened. after washing off the spilt soda the cement was whine as bone.

coke is just as bad. I prefer my caffeen in the form of fresh roasted beans or as turkish coffee. Unfortunately, I am out of turkish coffe right now.

*ducks back out*

Actually, I'm a diet soda drinker anyway...so the cane sugar vrs high fructos corn syrup really doesn't mean anything to me. Thought I do prefer Splenda to Neutrasweet.

Nuetrasweet is a poison. when mixed with stomach acid, it breaks down to fermaldahyde which is a carcinagen.

a very hidden fact in the food market.

Yep, I've heard that about a million times. Although it seems there is no actual proof that it actually works that way either. I've done a bunch of research on it.

My dad is a diabetic, so I shy away from sugar somewhat. I know it can be hereditary, and I certainly want to do all I can to prevent it if possible.

Agreed. Diet Mountain Dew is great. Same for Diet Dr. Pepper. Those are my two favorite diet sodas by far.

Coke Zero is pretty good, but you need to compare it to Pepsi One instead of Diet Pepsi. Closer comparison. And I agree, once you get used to drinking diet soda, regualr soda is too sweet.

I've kinda gotten addicted to Diet Coke with Lime. The lime flavor pretty much covers the nasty taste of aspartame.

scary...

I prefer Coke much more than Pepsi, the thing is too sweet for my likeness. The Coke in the USA/UK/Cyprus is sweeter than the one in Europe too. In the states especially it is too sweet - i have lived for 6 months on the Cape so i know
