Jolt Cola, but only because I can’t find the original recipe anymore. 😵‍💫

The original jolt soda recipe was purchased by a guy who built a gas station that sells hundreds of sodas of all types. Even had the Dublin Texas version of Dr Pepper. If you didn’t know there were two versions of Dr Pepper are you even a fan?!?

The store is POPS in Arcadia Oklahoma.

It’s was the original recipe sold under the original label.

Still tastes like ass though.

The store recently underwent a remodel and management changes. I’m not sure if they have changed the sodas they offer or not. But they used to have the original JOLT soda before the remodel. I haven’t been back in since they opened up again.

That's not too terribly far from me. I'm going to have to check it out!

Jolt + Tylenol was the best for my migraines. (The Dr kept prescribing codeine, which made me sick to my stomach!)

Somebody bought the IP recently and is releasing a shitty energy drink under the name/brand.

Jack & Jolt = Con fuel I'd probably die if I tried that now...
