Hey, there's nothing like a war effort to revive a sluggish economy. That and it would give the TV networks something to talk about besides Jenna Bush. (Jeez, leave the girl alone! What college kid doesn't take a drink before reaching twenty-one? Granted, most don't try to order a margarita using a fake ID with the Secret Service just a few feet away....)

I want to know what happened to Jolt! Twice the sugar and four times the caffeine as Mountain Dew, or something ungodly like that. Man, it makes my heart race just thinking about it....

Ponder this: Scientists already knew that matter is 98% empty space. After they figured out the structure of protons, they determined the remaining 2% is mostly made up of... well, nothing. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?

In South Africa, you have “Cool drinks”, which covers everything in the soda pop range and here in Kenya, we have “Softa” or “Soda”. In Canada as kid we had “soft drinks”. But you shouldn’t be drinking that stuff, it gives you acne. Well, that is what Mom told me...

It's here:
http://www.wetplanet.com/main.html

Poking around there a bit, I found a page that mentions it has 54% more caffeine than Mountain Dew. ISTR reading somewhere that it had the legal limit for caffeine content to still be categorized as a "soft drink".

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I think if it's any higher than 54% it becomes either Instant Death or Instant Diabetes....

Here's some info on how much caffeine is in various beverages:

I'm from Philly. (That's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for you non-USAers.) We say "soda" definitely. Also most Washington, D.C. area natives say "soda." I'm fairly sure that it is "soda" throughout the entire Philly to DC megalopolis. I think "soda" extends north to NYC, but changes to "pop" by the time one reaches Boston. And I'm fairly sure that it changes to "pop" pretty suddenly south of DC.

Florida here, soda all around...
