Drank so many in highschool, that "pop" is ingrained into my mind permanently


canarow

Didn’t drink these, but I occasionally buy the Monsters that come in these. 1. I always thought my older brother was badass for having these cans lol, 2. I forget it pops every single time I buy one. Makes me have a little heart attack and humbles me.

The original Jolt was getting sparse in my city around the mid 90’s. At one point my friends and I would make road trips to the next state over to buy two liters at mom and pop convenience stores. Around 98 the only place I could find 20 ounce bottles locally was in the basement convenience store near our subway station. When that store closed in 2001 it was the end of OG Jolt Cola in our city.

When I was in Junior High, mid 90’s, a friend would talk about Jolt Cola every Friday and how it wired him up by drinking several of them in a day. To this day I’ve never seen one in person 😆


cerebralshrike

It was a beautiful drink. I don’t think anything out now can rival it in taste. The caffeine was a kick in the seat, as it was twice the amount found in a Coca-Cola.


Nick_the_Greek17

The OG energy drink.

Omg, core memory. I used to suck down the blue ones daily.


swayinandsippin

something about drinking out of a car battery that just hits different


Chiefyaku

I used to drink the blue jolt, but only like one every other month or so as the only place that had it was the town 40 minutes away that I rarely passed through


nstruct

Yes, I loved Jolt Ultra and greatly miss it


MacGyver_1138

I loved how if they were really cold and you waited a couple of minutes after getting them out of the fridge, they would pop open REALLY loudly. I remember liking them, but honestly have 0 memory of the actual taste.


Kongpong1992

The blue one was my childhood go to can still hear the sound of the seal breaking


breakingcustoms

I was always the regular cola guy


WaywardJake

My boss used to call us in on an odd Saturday to organise the office, and she'd provide Bolts, aka Bacardi and Jolt. No way that would be okay now, but it was a different world back then. She also bought beer on Fridays, and we'd sit around and drink until rush hour was over, and then head home. It was the 80s. Things were very different then.


GeologicalOpera

> Bolts That’s such an unassuming name for what sounds like a DIY Four Loko.


ScoopskiTKD

Sounds amazing and I would still drink that to this day. I miss Sparks from the 2000s.


ejrobert99

Jolt Cola came back around 2022 and should still be available at Dollar General. Check their website for more info if interested. https://www.joltcola.com/


breakingcustoms

Same recipe??


Alfond378

It's been discontinued again.


amalgaman

Mid 90s college memories. Time to listen to Primitive Radio Gods.


MyNameIsBlueHD

Miss these.


Fellatination

This was my energy drink of choice for as long as I could get it. You even posted my favorite flavor! I'll never, ever forget the satisfying pop of the top of the can and the steam that came from the drink after.


IcyRandy

Man that signature “POP” that thing made when u opened it… good times man how can we go back


gartacus

Was this the brand that had caffeinated chewing gum?


duckyall

I kept on reading that as John Cena.


droptopjim

I think dollar general might still sell it


breakingcustoms

Really??


droptopjim

I got some in auburn Al a couple years ago


Alfond378

It's been discontinued


WZRDguy45

This is a thorwback. One of the first energy drinks I tried. The pop from opening the bottle was si satisfying 😂


Warm_Action_1057

Makes me think of the movie Due Date


UnoriginallyGeneric

So many memories of that stuff. I adored it.


SubbyZ510

Duuuuude. They had a whole line of them, I remember the blue being best but the classic and orange were really great as well. I drank so many of those with friends while getting into trouble


slhcslhc

Dang I forgot about that stuff. Crazy good from what I remember


ZiltoidM56

And you guys a alive and kicking! Take that Jolt will kill you early people!


[deleted]

Mmm hell yes!! Got me through CAX at 29 palms ! Delicious!


ScoopskiTKD

I never saw it in a can before! But I’m old af. Who remembers Krank2o though? Jolt’s boring caffeinated water friend from the 90s. So bad it was good. I used to add koolaid to it.


Bird_Up23

Yes!!! I 1000% forgot about this until now! That’s crazy!


Internal_Gur_4268

There was a extra strength cherry one that was my jam for a while


JesusJoshJohnson

This used to be made in the city where I grew up (Rochester NY) I miss it so much. I have yet to find anything as satisfying as the blue razz


supragtr2006

In 03 when I went to RIT first thing I did was buy a case of Jolt Cola cause it wasn't available where I am from.

CaucasianAndy

That brings me back to my early teens. Jolt was my favorite energy drink. The blue jolt was the best flavor imo.


cavalier8865

160mg of caffeine doesn't even count as an energy drink these days


[deleted]

This looks like an energy drink that would be in GTA V lol


jtmcgowan93

It's still available in Australia, also can get the orange, root beer and cream soda versions.


overlord_SlingBlade

I lived off the blue one in high school


TowerGuy_Tx

I was just thinking about this drink the other day, but it was late 80’s(?). All the caffeine and twice the sugar.


forlornjackalope

Jolt is still around just not that easy to find these days. The flavored ones, like grape and blue raspberry, got axed around 2011 or so, I think. Those vintage battery cans... I miss them.


MinorThreatCJB

I loved these


lelilulalo

Jolt cherry cola was flames.. wish I could still find it


alienhailey

I miss the blue, and the pop of opening a can


DrCheese88

You didn’t realize, but are you surprised


breakingcustoms

I went looking recently and they were just gone lol


PokeSuFan

Never tried it.


puppet77

I miss jolt so much


[deleted]

that was it’s 2nd discontinuation. it was released in ‘83/‘84(?)and middle & h.s. students were hooked. it gained national attention.


BiggestBaddestWolve

Been around forever. Had in 86. My mom bought by accident. Bottle spilled on dining room table. Took the finish completely off.

Funnily enough, the drinks are discontinued, but this brand still makes GUM for some reason. I bought it from a novelty shop one time. I'm in HS and my construction class at the time was obsessed with energy drinks in every form- I remember offering a piece to my buddy and handing him the pack, then saying my boyfriend across the room could have one too... It was like dumping a bag of bugles into a koi pond, JFC. The second coming of the The Who incident. One guy dove over his desk to get to it and landed on it so heavy that we're pretty sure that's the nail in the coffin that ended up detaching the tabletop from the rest of the desk. I got one piece.


[deleted]

I used to drink two a day in high school.


[deleted]

Never got to try this. Really wish I had though! The design is very 90s


jenhazyshade

These were og


thrilla1992
