You don't see Jolt Cola anymore (%100 sugar and twice the caffeine!)

At least, not in Colorado. Just Vitamin Water out here.

Caring about the rainforest
Caring about acid rain

Caring about the hole in the ozone layer

Caring about AIDS

Haven't you been watching CNN? That stuff is all taken care of. We just need to hit 75 mpg and throw some cash at clean coal technology, then it's smooth sailing. Kick your feet up. All the hard work is behind us. :beerchug:

Jolt is alive and kicking. There is regular strength Jolt and then there is the "Super Jolt" which is basically Jolt^2. You can use super jolt to restart cars and hearts in the emergency taht a defib isn't around.

I ordered a medium drink at a fast food joint and they gave me a big cup. I thought medium was 16oz or similar (when I last worked in fast food), this cup held at least twice that!

That was back in the 90's, I understand in the 50's and 60's a medium was 8oz or maybe 12oz.
