    I thought they outlawed Jolt after it made a bunch of hillbillies go blin

    Not sure how it'd make you go blind, it's just like drinking 2 cokes. Modern day energy drinks have more nowadays.

    My daughter now likes that brand of Yerba Mate that comes in a yellow can. Interesting, I thought - I drank a lot of Mate in the 2000s, steeped from lo leaves. Mateine is a stimulant in Mate that doesn't cause the same jitters t caffeine does.

    Then, I looked at the can. It's got tons of sugar and added caffeine! Makes sense.

    I remember Jolt Cola. I tried one and about 10 minutes later I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital! The effects lasted almost 2 hours on me. Whew what a bad ride.

    did you freebase before your can of jolt?
    it has the same sugar as a can of pepsi in today's age
    and less caffeine than a monster.

    In college, they held a lottery system for the food court venues to get breakfast and lunch slots. One year, the Barn N' Bun, a hot dog place, got a breakfast slot. They had the tankard of bad coffee, shrink-wrapped muffins, and as a call back to their roots, a "Breakfast Special" - A Hot Dog and a Jolt cola.

    The nitrates, caffeine and sugar could knock you out of any late-night coding induced stupor.

    And the LORD did sayeth unto Japheth, "Why didst thou forsake the memory the Romans and put pineapple on thy Pizza?". And Japheth did hide his fac in shame, because he knew that fruit on Pizza was an abomination unto the LORD. For thy God has provided the bounty of the tropics and the grain fo creating leavened bread, but in His holy wisdom has kept these apart. Let man bringeth them together.


    pineapple on pizza should be punishable by death.
    and i LOVE pineapple.
    I have almost tried the pineapple on pizza a few years back. I just could not bring myself to do it. I have had anchovies on a pizza once and decided too salty and I don't like fuzzy fish on my pizza. :)

    Exactly (re: salty), that's what the pineapple is for.

    There is a balance, between two worlds. One with a nail and a cross...

    Oops, that's arrow and a cross.
