'Jolt' has made it to Ohio now. It is on sale in Columbus, at least.
I haven't tried it yet either.

The morning DJ's on a local radio station (WLVQ) were talking up
quite a storm about it this morning(Sept. 18), mostly making jokes
about how alert and hyperactive it made them, but I never did figure
out how much of their banter was show business and what they
honestly thought about Jolt.
