That's shocking, I had no idea they were in such bad shape.

You can only keep a company running on artificial stimulation for so long.

I know they had repackaged it in large 23.5 oz cans a while ago, and added
some odd flavors, but they were too expensive for me.

Trivia note: Pyramid Technologies (and old Unix minicomputer maker that was
bought out by Siemens about 10 years ago) had a prototype multi-processor
clustered machine that was code-named Jolt during production, and they sought
out a licence to fashion the case after the orginal Jolt Cola can. Got to
the point where they were making the first prototypes of the case when Jolt
backed out, and the production unit (called The Nile) still had a perfectly
curved front end.

I remember many late-night/all-night D&D sessions fueled by Jolt Cola and cold pizza.

A shame that the best-tasting cola I've had is going belly-up due to competition from raspberry-flavored battery acid.

Wait, so Mcdonald's is going to stop serving those cokes?

Oh, you're talking about Jolt, nevermind then.

Now be nice. One person's raspberry-flavored battery acid is another's stale goat's piss with a tinge of huckleberry.

The only place you can buy Jolt here is Liquor Barn, so I'm sure that fact hurt it's sales a little.

Pepsi Twist for the win. Pulled because Pepsi can't market crap. I used to go through three two liter bottles a week

I remember sitting up all night on midz, copying Morse, and having my leg vibrate because I had drank Jolt in order to keep awake.

/Wonderful stuff

Well, there go my 10-hour marathon sessions of banging subby's mom.

She's a good woman, subby. And sturdy.

I used to buy one of these at this old fashioned general store next to this dollar theater. We would get all amped up, eat penny candies and go see cheap kids movies. Essentially, it was everything good about being a kid.

I see your Bawlz (snicker) and I am not impressed.

Mana potions FTW!!

/Next to Jolt, Manapotions are the only not-ass-tasting energy drinks
//Well, I'm not counting Coffee or Coca Cola either since they're technically not marketed that way
///aw crap, slashie overdose!

Huh. I never had Jolt. Guess I should go looking for some while I still can.

Does drinking black coffee make me old school?

The heavily caffeinated cola introduced 24 years ago

Ummm...I thought they closed down 22 years ago.

/live in DFW area
/no Jolt to be found for years
