Let's see, your standard cola maxes out at about 80 Mg of caffine, that implies that Jolt could be as high as 160 Mg. An average cup of coffee supplies around 120-140 Mg., but I always drink a mug. Still nowhere the effect of an entire pot of coffee. As a comparison, No-Doze tablets have 150 Mg. per dose, Viverin tablets have 200 Mg. per dose. I don't happen to like sugar; its much too sweet, and it leaves a bad aftertaste. As well as making you fat. > Rochester isn't has "health oriented" as say, California :-). > And I'm not from California!
