Been there, done that. Heck, when we went to, what would called
"LAN-parties" today, we always had a pack of 20-or-so Jolt cans, each.
I've been drinking so much Jolt Cola once, that I though my stomach
would literaly kill me.
I've had enough of it. Besides, the US-Jolt tastes MUCH better than the
european one, trust me.

(Diet Coke from other european countries tastes better than swedish diet
Coke too.)

We drank Jolt cause of the cool taste, and, the caffeine. It was
drinkable in large amounts, where you tend to get enough of Mountain Dew
after just 1-2 cans.

Espresso is one of my favourites, but it has a very strong taste that
doesn't always fulfill my needs. I'd rather prefer a freshly crushed
dark coffebeans for my coffee. I just can't stand "light" coffee. Tastes
like... uh. A dishrag.

I can't remember exactly what brand of Root Beer it was, but after the
first shipment we got another brand, which tasted quite differently.
