Jolt award? I honestly did not know these existed and I was equally surprised to find out that this is the 19th Annual Jolt Product Excellence Awards! When I think of Jolt cola I think back to my high school days and drinking the nastiest tasting soda on the market because of their tag line, "all the sugar and twice the caffeine!" Yup, we used to buy the big two liter bottles in bulk for our all0night gaming sessions. Yes, I was (and to some degree still am) a gaming geek.
They were one of the first "energy drink soda" makers in the market but are now fighting off a myriad of competitors, the most famous of which is Red Bull. As recently as six months ago I purchased one of those "battery" cans of Jolt and I have to say that the berry flavor is in the right can because it tasted about as heinous as something that would come out of a battery.
I'll treasure my wasted days of youth chugging down Jolt by the liter but I wont be giving up my Red Bull any time soon.
