EASE
IN ACQUISITION—2
I’d
call this scarce, but one needs to take into account the fact that it’s been
discontinued when contemplating ease in acquisition. I don’t have a clue how common this would have been back in
its day.
APPEARANCE/PRESENTATION—7
Jolt
Passion Fruit presents with the same battery motif as Jolt Cherry Bomb, just
with yellow highlighting the upper portion. I’m not especially wild about the look, but I have to take
into account the fact that the can feels so dang nice in my hand. Wish more cans could be like that.
TASTE—5
Jolt
Passion Fruit was far easier to get down than Cherry Bomb, even if I was far
from wowed by the taste. The
initial sensation is relatively agreeable, but Jolt seems to have done a pretty
half-hearted job of masking the taste of the caffeine and whatever other energy
ingredients they have in there, a conclusion I reach from the fact that it
reminds me more of the Triaminic formula for chest and nasal congestion than it
does NOS.
KICK
(INTENSITY) —8
The
kick’s pretty decent, if it’s a bit less kicky than Cherry Bomb. The sensation was reminiscent of a wall
between the fatigue and myself—I had the feeling that the fatigue was there
somewhere, but there was no way it was going to get to me anytime soon.
KICK
(DURATION) —8
Jolt
Passion Fruit was pretty dependable as far as staying power was concerned—my peak
energy level (where there was that proverbial wall between myself and my
fatigue) was fairly long-lasting, which is why it wasn’t surprising to me that
the tapering off of the effectiveness was a little quicker than some.
THE
DRINK OVERALL—7
To
sum it up: good kick, not-so-good taste.
Well, to be perfectly fair, the actual taste isn’t that bad, it’s more the really noticeable medicinal
aftertaste that you get after the fact that gets you. If you don’t care about that sort of thing, well, this might
be the beverage for you…if you can find it. Which I wouldn’t plan on.

These drinks used to be more common a few years ago. They sold them in two of the gas stations nearby where I was living at the time. Apparently the company that made them filed for bankruptcy. The company was relaunched but I think (in the US at least) they do mostly online sales now.
