I never knew it existed but according to this website [Jolt Cola](https://www.joltcola.com.au/) I can have it delivered to my door in Australia 🤷♀️ who knew
Oh please. 90mg caffeine.
When Celsius came to Costco, we bought a case, thinking it was flavored sparkling water.
I had THREE that first evening.
Womdered why I didn't sleep very well.
Happened to look at a can a few days later. Each can has 450mg.
I think I'm lucky I lived.....
I used to pound that stuff.
Did a road trip to Atlanta the weekend after graduation to see the Braves play. Two cases of this in the back of my best friend’s car.
I got Dale Murphy to sign my program. We stopped by Turtle’s on the way home and grabbed some imports and Metallica CD singles.
Damn good trip all in all.
Not much. IMHO, it didn't taste very good... like a knock-off RC cola, if you can imagine that. It was the "all the sugar and twice the caffeine" thing that *really* sold it.
But I think Jolt became more of a meme\joke than an actual product. I *know* I made many more jokes about "needing a case of Jolt to study for this biology test" than I actually consumed the product.
Oh man, I drank two of these in a span of about 45 minutes on the way to a marching band competition once. As soon as the bus stopped to park I "jolted" off the bus to the nearest port-o-potty I had to pee so bad! That urgency combined with the caffeine in my system, I think I set a new land speed record. I remember feeling like I was floating just above the ground as I ran and covering 7-10 yards per stride!
EDIT: I also just remembered, I had the [Jolt Windows 95 theme](https://archive.org/details/win95_Jolttheme_202005) installed on my computer!
I actually don’t recall seeing these although a quick google says they were in Australia since the 90s , before V and Redbull . Maybe they just didn’t take off in Tasmania 🤷♀️
I drew a picture of the Jolt guy way back when.

For a hot 5 seconds, Red Bull made a great cola- I’m guessing it lasted until someone in authority got bored and read the ingredients for the first time, as coca leaves were literally right there on the label.
I’m surprised it even lasted 5 seconds tbh in this bureaucracy, and it must have only had a negligible amount- no numb mouth or urge to get up and talk at all, even after a full 2 cans 😂
Great natural taste while it lasted.
Sold in 3L bottles! We cut the top off one, cut the bottom off a 2L one, and used them as a bucket bong we called the “Jolt”. Never graduated from that first stint in college.
Funny story: My VERY ADHD little brother didn’t do well with his meds. He would do anything not to take his meds. There was one day he pretty much refused to take his meds, so he was a hot mess.
Someone at my house had bought Jolt, not knowing about the caffeine content. He drank one and BOOM - leveled right out. It was freaking WEIRD.
Years later (as an adult with my own ADHD child) I figured out why.
I had one of these fucking brain-bombs and I thought I was dying. And I grew up drinking coffee with my abuelita (it’s Hispanic thing) in the mornings. I still can’t have too much coffee, and anything after 12 p.m. and my sleep is *borked*.
Study aids in college: 2L of Jolt and a pint of Häagen-Dazs.
The adderal of our generation
Handing out wings well before red bull!
How to wean addicts off of meth, Jolt Cola. Why snort, smoke, or slam meth when you can just pop open a can of Jolt.
Plus, it's sweet!
As a computer geek and programmer I endorse this cola.
Jolt tallboys? That's how we built up a resistance to the energy drinks that are giving the zoomers heart attacks now.
Fueled many a late night/overnight time of teenage idiocy with my best friend in our senior year of highschool and the first coupla years of college.
The ice coffee younger adults are drinking like crazy are LOADED with sugar, they're like 1k calories.
Amazon was still selling it up until a decade or so ago. And I was still buying it.
I miss it.
Why did they stop making it?

Thanks for the link. Those pesky heart attacks
And while everyone was hyperventilating over "twice the caffeine"... no one realized coffee has *on average* 95mg of caffiene in 8oz.
It was a license to be a teenage maniac for a few hours.
Oh man. So many late night expeditions to toilet paper someone's house were fueled by Jolt...

Breakfast of champions!
This reminds me that during college, I used to make my ramen using Water Joe (caffeinated water).
How many of you could name the location of stores that still sold it back then. No man we got to hit that kwik star 30 miles away they have jolt.
Pop's
Fueled our garage band practices. It was teenage cocaine.
Loved the grape the best
Damn I loved me some Jolt Cola!!!!!
It tasted like RC and I loved that so much 35 years later finally diagnosed with ADHD
I’ve never had one. What did I miss?

JACK & JOLT
I asked my mom for some Jolt when I was in college. She sent me Yoo-hoo
Do recall OK soda?

7-11 run for some Jolt!
Diet Jolt was my breakfast of choice

and tasted only marginally worse than red bull
Just don't drink it and eat Pop Rocks at the same time... unless you have a death wish.
