why did they made these so difficult to obtain? they're mainly available only by online order, and it's expensive. is there a better tasting energy drink out there?

A proper diet and sleep schedule, along with water should provide all the energy you need.

These were among the first energy drinks to enter the Canadian market. I remember my local grocery store had the blue flavour Jolt and the Cola in these big fuck off cans with resealable lids.

I miss them dearly.

it's true
the best thing I did for my energy levels was stop the caffeine

I was at the point of drinking 3 monsters a day and never sleeping
and was in a pretty bad place
once I stopped the caffeine I almost immediately saw an end to my 2 year unemployment and started getting things together
I sleep only 6 hours a night and comfortably wake up at 4am for work with no problems at all

they had glass bottles, as well as the regular coke/pepsi type plastic. my favorite jolt of all time would be the citrus, just a stronger mtn dew or white lightning. white lightning was grape and it was awesome.

remember jolt gum? jolt lozenges? didnt get too popular but 1 gum= 1 cup of coffee

it was designed as a battery. It was an attempt to rebrand as an energy drink that were just starting to get popular.
