davidphogan: 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.

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.

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

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

Wow, Jolt is responsible for me graduating college. I would never have been able to write some of those papers without it, I think it is against my genetic code to start on the things more than 48 hours before they are due. The deli near my house sells Jolt, I'll have to grab a bottle for old times sake.

It makes me wonder, when the energy drink craze crashes, what the hell are people gonna do? I mean, Jolt started it all, the rest just took the caffeine and other hip and trendy energy chemicals and put them in bad tasting drinks, and marketed it with trendy names. What's gonna happen when they go the way of Jolt?

\wasn't big on Jolt
\\more of a Mountain Dew type

God, I remember sitting in computer labs for hours drinking Jolt and eating Skittles.



Anyone remember Snapple elements? There was a dragonfruit flavoured one called "Fire" and a white grape/agave one called "Rain" and then this Green tea one called "Moon". They were good. And they had groovy shaped bottles.

Jolt Cola addict on his way to rehab...

Aww what a sweet pooch! I used to have a red one too but she had both eyes blue.



I remember jolt from years ago... Haven't had it since I was like 12 (I have no idea why my parents let us have it).

The only energy drink I like (besides coffee) is MD Amp... it tastes almost just like Mountain Dew.
