[edit] Canadian battery bottles

The battery bottles are also available in canada, you might want to add that to the jolt cola worldwide part.

[edit] What did you mean?

The beverage is notoriously difficult to find in Australia.

I guess Jolt is also notoriously difficult to find in Antartica. But shall we mention it? There are a couple of Burger King restaurants withing walking distances from my home, but "Hungry Jack's" is just notoriously difficult to find in my country. I guess I'll not mention it. -- Toytoy 12:33, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

Possibly my information is out of date, but as of December 2003 and 6 years prior to that, every 7-Eleven I ever went in, in 4 Australian states (QLD, NSW, VIC, SA) carried Jolt Cola. It was therefore far easier to find than in the US.

Its only sold in one unaffiliated shop on Talbot Street, a few Spars, and every college campus Londis over here... and yet thats not even notoriusly hard to find... --Kiand 18:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I also find this generally weird, I have replaced the overly specific information about where it can be found in sydney/brisbane/adelaide with a more general statement for clarity. I hate to delete someone's work but it just seems like to much detail in almost random places - no normal encyclopedia would include random specifics like that.

[edit] Highly caffeinated

I'd like it if somebody could quantify this. I am doubtful that it is that much more carbonated than, say, mountain dew. Specifically, I'd like to know how it stacks up to RedBull and the like. Avriette 01:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't see where the carbonation comes into this, but no, its not particularly carbonated as soft drinks go... --Kiand 01:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I meant "caffeinated", not "carbonated". Blame it on overworking. (note the heading was correct and coherent) Avriette 04:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

The article states that Jolt Cola contains as much caffeine as a regular coffee, but not as much caffeine as an espresso coffee. However, it is quite well known that proper espresso coffee contains less caffeine than regular coffee, due to the speed at which is it brewed. Helzagood 13:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

That is correct, the part about the espresso needs to be fixed.

[edit] Sugar Content

The statement "Early production of Jolt Cola may have had more sugar than the current formula..." is sort of weasely. We should be able to either verify whether this was true or not? I seem to remember a slogan in the late 80's that went "Twice the sugar, twice the caffeine". Maybe I'm simply misremembering the "all the sugar, twice the caffeine" slogan already mentioned in the article. I know the Simpsons TV show used that slogan for their fictional "Buzz Cola" but i could swear Jolt had used it first. After doing a google search their appears to be many others who also remember the same slogan as originally being used for Jolt Cola though they may be misremembering also. --Cab88 19:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

I seem to recall the original slogan being "Twice the sugar, twice the caffeine, and all the flavor" - having to do with the diet soda craze going on at the time. --Sean 00:23, 4 September 2006 (PDT)

[edit] Image:Jolt-Colas.jpg

Does anyone else find this image kind of annoying? Why can't there just be an image of the can itself? Having the hands in there clinking the cans makes it look much less encyclopedic IMHO. howcheng {chat} 22:57, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jolt Red?

Does anyone know if it is true or not that Jolt is no longer manufacturing "Jolt Red"? Andrew 21:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jolt Mobile (prepaid mobile phone service)

Does anyone know if Jolt Mobile is related to Jolt Cola? If it is, it should be noted. Fitfatfighter 09:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
