I thought they outlawed Jolt after it made a bunch of hillbillies go blin

Not sure how it'd make you go blind, it's just like drinking 2 cokes. Modern day energy drinks have more nowadays.

My daughter now likes that brand of Yerba Mate that comes in a yellow can. Interesting, I thought - I drank a lot of Mate in the 2000s, steeped from lo leaves. Mateine is a stimulant in Mate that doesn't cause the same jitters t caffeine does.

Then, I looked at the can. It's got tons of sugar and added caffeine! Makes sense.

I remember Jolt Cola. I tried one and about 10 minutes later I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital! The effects lasted almost 2 hours on me. Whew what a bad ride.

did you freebase before your can of jolt?
it has the same sugar as a can of pepsi in today's age
and less caffeine than a monster.

In college, they held a lottery system for the food court venues to get breakfast and lunch slots. One year, the Barn N' Bun, a hot dog place, got a breakfast slot. They had the tankard of bad coffee, shrink-wrapped muffins, and as a call back to their roots, a "Breakfast Special" - A Hot Dog and a Jolt cola.

The nitrates, caffeine and sugar could knock you out of any late-night coding induced stupor.
