Made in Scotland from girders ;D.

Too sweet for my tastes, but a handy hangover drink.

I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else here likes it or has even drank it before...

Yup, had it. For dutch people, it's sold at Schiphol, and that's about the only place I know where they sell it. Happened to be near so I took a can of Jolt (did anyone else try?), one Irn-Bru and one Mountain Dew. Must say, the jolt is my fav, but the irn-bru was the last imo, it didn't taste too good and I had the feeling I'd be left with a few rusting teeth, which isn't good for the enjoyment of the flavour.

It's hard to come by in Germany, but I stumbled across a couple of Jolt cans in a speciality supermarket. Since I've heard the name before (in a couple of geek jokes), I gave it a try. I wasn't too keen on the taste, but at that time, my job was truck driver - on night shift. Let's say I killed a can or two on the Autobahn to stay awake.

The job changed to Software Engineer, the location changed to the Frankfurt area, and luckily, the need for heavy doses of caffeine went away. Tea tastes better, too.
