Jolt or Mountain Dew in the UK?

Posted by Cliff on from the brits-need-caffeine-too dept.

Zerbey asks: "The age old problem of the geeks, where to get caffeine? I discovered these drinks in the States and despite whisperings from various corners that it is available (Alan Cox drinks Jolt) have never found a decent supplier in the UK. Anyone know of any that would sell to a caffeine-deprived geek and a decent price? Useful answers will be put onto a Web page. "

  1. What about Afri-cola? by wynlyndd · · Score: 3

    Afri-cola is a German cola that I haven't tried yet but I have heard reports that it has 100mg of caffeine per bottle (11oz bottle) and at least one report I have seen says 250mg per bottle. Compare that to the approx. 58mg of caffeince per 12oz can...

  2. Moxie by Zeni · · Score: 3


    I second that! Moxie is the best. I live in the midwest now, but my family is from Mass. So I only get Moxie a few times a year when someone travels to/from Mass. :( The thing with Moxie is either you LOVE it or HATE it.
    (Tho most friends that have tried it hated it.)

    For those of you who don't know what Moxie is: it's kinda like Dr. Pepper but different. Dang I'm at a lose of words how to describe it. YUM!

  3. Weak Dew by TheTomcat · · Score: 3

    I live in Canada.

    We have Mountain Dew here, but it's weak. It doesn't contain caffeine. None.

    When I cross over into the 'states, I pick up some real 'Dew, Jolt, and of course, my favourite, Moxie. (Even though it's not hyper-caffeinated, it's still really good stuff.)

    Which reminds me, I should take another trip down there. I just ran out of Penguin Mints.
