When I want to drink something fun, it’s homemade lemonade or limeade (water, sugar, lemon /lime juice, salt). With liquor.

Hawaiian Punch once in a while. Do not add liquor to Hawaiian Punch.

Also tonight, I learned Dollar General exclusively sells Jolt Cola....so I went to one, but couldn't find any. I did however find pineapple mountain dew! ]]> Beverage of choice for XTREME GAMING http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=189026 2019-10-19T11:05:15 -05.00 Splain 36

I can do a couple standard cups of coffee over a morning and be fine. I was never a coffee drinker (or hot drinks in general, just don't care for them), so soda was my go-to morning jump start. But then I wanted to cut back on sugar and decided to forgo caffeine drinks in general. Had a few days of withdrawl hell (and about two weeks later another few days for some reason), but after that I've been pretty clear headed. ]]> Beverage of choice for XTREME GAMING http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=189026 2019-10-17T12:29:13 -05.00 Splain 36 Originally posted by: beardcore84
 
 

My bad
 
Looking over the stats on Mt Dew and Surge, I was genuinely surprised how high their caffeine content was.  (50% more than Coke and they have more sugar)

(also, similarly surprised that Diet Coke has almost 1/3 more caffeine that regular Coke, presumably to make up for the missing sugar-rush)

Man, I'm glad I gave up caffeine.

  I can do a couple standard cups of coffee over a morning and be fine.

But once I had a double-Americano in a hurry and ended up with an ocular migraine that lasted most of the day.

Only time I've been hit worse was an all-nighter freshman year of college where I was drinking coffee all night and in a moment of sheer stupidity took a truck stop caffeine pill (that really contained God-only-knows-what)... ended up with the world spinning.


Anyway... the double-whammy of a full load of sugary soda AND two cups-of-coffee worth of caffeine, makes that new Jolt sound like a recipe for feeling like dog-shit

That isn't accurate.
https://www.everything80spodcast.com/jolt-cola/

Jolt is almost 6 mg of caffiene per oz.
In a 12 oz can that is 72 mg of caffeine.

By comparison, Surge only has 51 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz can and Mt Dew has 55 mg.
Coca Cola only has 34 mg.

A normal 8oz cup of coffee is about 80 mg, which was more-or-less Jolt's target.

It very definitely had more caffeine than any other "normal" sodas.

(and their slogan "All the sugar twice the caffiene" would be accurate compared to standard colas like Coke)
