Hugh, I gather from this that you are looking for psycho-active
beverages; I can't tell you about Jolt! but have you heard about
"Blast"?  This is a product from a bizarre company in California
(yeah, right) that goes by the name of "Vitamin Research Products".
These biochemists have mixed up a witches brew of vitamins and
caffeine that seems to have very invigorating effects on dulled
minds.  It's expensive ($20 CDN for a bottle), comes in powder form
(mix with 6oz of cold water) and tastes faintly like Tang.  You
drink some first thing in the morning and again at noon and WOW!,
code all day non-stop!! :-)

There is also "Fast Blast", "Serene" and something that is supposed
to improve memory retention.  The Blast products are supposed to 
induce production of a chemical called "noradrenalin" which acts
as a stimulant to your brain.  They even have papers/adverts that
they'll send you for free.

My SO and I tried their products for about 2 months and are of
mixed opinions about them.  We'll likely order some more to 
experiment further -- we've both been stressed lately and any
positive effects would probably show up fairly clearly.
Some friends have tried Blast and are quite convinced that it
helps to improve alertness during long work days.

If there is interest, I'll post information about contacting
this company.  There are no distributers in Canada, you would
have to import it yourself.
