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.

And I'm not from California!  I live in New Jersey, and work in 
Pennsylvania (and would rather be somewhere in the Caribbean).

That one, I'd believe.
