NOSTALGIA GEEK: Jolt Cola Makes A Comeback in Gum Form...Ahhh, It Feels So Nice To Relive My Middle School Years

The day Jolt Cola made its way to McMinnville, Oregon, my fellow students at McMinnville Middle School did a little dance and ran to the nearest grocery store (Hey Roth's IGA) to buy as many 6-packs as one could get on a meager allowance.

The next day, the sights and sounds of hopped-up-on-caffeine young teens filled the school hallway and resulted in a crackdown of epic proportions that ended with a sugar/caffeine crash in the afternoon that would make one think that there was some kind of carbon monoxide leak in the school.

Needless to say, Jolt cola was banned and the black market smuggling operations began in earnest...until Jolt Cola was gone from the shelves of local stores and the student body went back to slightly overdosing on No Doz for a much needed suburban buzz.

But those days of a legal high still bring a smile to my lips and it appears the Nostalgia Gods themselves have been missing the 71.2mg of caffeine per can of yore and have brought it back in a more sneaky version, notably as gum.

(yes, I'm aware that Jolt has an energy drink but I'm talking about the pure form of "All the Sugar, and Twice the Caffeine" here)

Each piece packs a whopping 45mg of the substance that helps you live through the day in its compact little form, and as a card-carrying member of the generation that sucked down the sugar syrup that allowed you to get through Social Studies without trying to paper cut yourself to death, I appreciate the ease in which I can ingest a minty piece of gum while my heart beats through my chest like the engine of a Dodge Charger.

Good Times.

And at $9.95 for a 5-pack, it's really going to make going into work easy.

Of course, if you really aren't up to dealing with all you co-workers and bosses you can always invest in the Exam Cram Caffeine Pack which comes with the Jolt Cola Gum 5-Pack, a travel mug,Caffeinated Soap, Caffeinated Body Wash and Time Release Caffeine Pills...you know, if you just want to go bat-shit insane.
