| 37545 | Jolt Cola | <blockquote rel="Rick Ace Rhodes" style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><b>Rick Ace Rhodes wrote :</b><br><i> I'll try it. Can anybody tell me what it tasted like? </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote><br><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">"Jolt" cola was an immediate hit with me and my friends in 1986. It was the first "energy drink" although that tag didn't become common until the 1990's.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">Jolt tastes like original formula Coke because it flaunted the fact that it used sugar (instead of high-fructose corn syrup found in Coke and Pepsi). </div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="">The ad tag was, <i style=""><b>"all the sugar and twice the caffeine!"</b></i>.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">You can imagine what a hit Jolt was in Seattle. Many convenience stores couldn't keep it in stock. Some of my favorite independent burger bars offered Jolt in cans as a beverage choice with your lunch.</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">By 1988, "Jolt" had Seattle jumpin' big time and I could not have been happier. </div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;">The end of Jolt came suddenly and I'm still not sure what happened. I remember the radio ads. I'm sure there must have been television spots but I don't recall those at all:</div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:75.0%"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fh78W3_7FNw?ecver=2" width="480" height="360" frameborder="0" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div> | eddstarr | Sep 16, 2017 |  |
| 37544 | It's been 30 years since Michael Jackson's "Bad" album release. | Michael Jackson and his "Bad" album got me thinking about how dynamic the 80's music scene was.<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">For me the 80's will remain as one of the greatest decades in popular music.It was cool to be young and joke around with all my friends while awesome music played in the background - everywhere!</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">For example:</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;">Can you name a "<b>roni</b>"?</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I'm all about, "maca</span><b>roni</b>"</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CjJx7eHXIAA1PT_.jpg"></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I'm down with "beefa</span><b>roni</b>"</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/838845022229385216/NqyIjsI-.jpg"></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Kinda iffy about "rice-a-</span><b>roni</b>"</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><img src="https://i.pinimg.com/236x/57/84/7c/57847cabf315e181e499702ef50356f7--rice-a-roni-chicken-rice.jpg"></div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">But only </span><b>Bobby Brown</b><span style="font-weight: normal;"> could sing about, "tender </span><b>roni</b>", LOL!</div><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div style="font-weight: normal;">Gotta give it to Bobby, he looked <i>Good</i> in a suit.
