Howdy, y'all, perhaps I am really dating myself, but before we had all these energy drinks, there was Jolt Cola. I remember it bursting onto the scene circa 1985, marketed to students and young people as a highly, and I mean doggone highly, caffeinated drink. It was popular with those of us in the military who had to pull all night staff duty officer responsibilities. Jolt Cola gave you exactly that, an immediate rush, jolt, but boy howdy, coming down off that caffeine, just like a sugar high, was like crashing bad. And so it is with the Kamala Harris effect with the progressive socialist left.
Since the carefully orchestrated Democrat coup d'etat, so much for the “democratic” process, that resulted in the selection of VP Kamala Harris, there has been a Jolt Cola, euphoric response from the leftist faithful. It is a false sugar high that has been aided and abetted by the high levels of caffeine induction by a complicit leftist media apparatus. And now we are about to have the commencement of the coronation ceremony that is the nomination of Madame Jolt Cola, Kamala Harris. This week's Democratic National Committee convention in Chicago will be quite entertaining and revealing.

Jolt! Brings back memories from the 90s, my 2nd shift telemarketing job, trying to stay awake.
Every programmer that was at the company I worked for in 1985 switched switched to Jolt from Mountain Dew. You didn’t dare make a loud noise in their work area.
“All the sugar and twice the caffeine.”
Same.
“All the sugar, twice the caffeine”
I used to drink that stuff by the 6 pack during work- was always on the run-
Working 12 hour shifts (rotating) for months on end, yeah buy me a case. LOL! Good times right?
Yup. Some jumpy guys in that office complex.
👍
I recall it had that flat cola taste like a bottle of Pepsi left open and not refrigerated. Only tried it once, went back to coffee. Nasty stuff.
Jolt Cola - all the sugar and twice the caffeine of ordinary colas
Entire Silicone Valley startups were founded on this stuff
The original Fry’s Electronics store had pallets of twelve packs stacked right next to the check out
Those were the days
It better disappear fast. Voting begins in mid September for a variety of states.
Yeah, I remember Jolt. Loved it at the time.
Where I worked there was a vending machine that dispensed a thick black substance that was advertised as tea. It didn’t taste like tea, coffee, or anything else that I was familiar with, but that stuff was like rocket fuel. It got me through many a late night!
There are a lot of spacecraft that flew because the launch crews were drinking Jolt and Mountain Dew!
The caffeine in a can of Jolt is NOTHING compared to 12 ounces of proper brewed coffee. It was probably half the caffeine of coffee.
I liked Jolt fine occasionally, but it was a poor substitute for coffee for coffee drinkers, “half the caffeine and little of the taste.”
kamala is not “Jolt Cola”!
She’s just major depression!
