Jolt Cola
‘The Energy Drink That Actually Tastes Good.’ If a marketer was able to pop that one out with a straight face, I’d be shocked. Further more, if he or she actually believed it, well, they suck.
As far as colas go, this ranks somewhere near the bottom of every one I’ve ever consumed, even counting multiple store brands. Simply awful.
Not going too deep into the details on this one; I’m just going to tell you to avoid it if at all possible. Sugar content is astounding, energy boost isn’t that great. Packaging is all it has going for it.

This was the holy grail of caffeine when I was a young’un. Unfortunately, it still has less than a cup of black coffee in a 12-oz can. The sugar makes my pancreas worry about diabeetus. Pass.

The can was awesome…. The top is a twist off, and it’s under serious pressure. Smoke rolls out of the top after a very loud ‘pop’ when you crack the seal.

I’m not a cola guy - but the Jolt Cherry Bomb is awesome (tastes like sweeter Dr. Pepper). The Jolt Blue is pretty good too.
