Angie's Review: Reviews posted after May 2007 are written by a guest reviewer referred to from this point forward as "The Stig".
The bright green can lead me to believe there was flavor in this can. I'm here to tell you, there isn't. After my first sip, I looked the can over for a "shake before opening", assuming all the tasty had to be on the bottom. But alas, like a drunken nanny, no matter how much I shook, the situation didn't improve. No carbs or calories is fine and all, but for goodness sakes, squeeze a lemon in this thing or something. The air in Los Angeles has more flavor than this stuff.

It's energizing enough. Like most 24ozish energy drinks, Jolt Ultra will certainly have you traveling to and from the bathroom frequently. If you happen to be in Los Angeles, hope you have your toilet tokens ready, because they don't believe in public restrooms.

At the end of the day, this drink is not a good value at $2.99.

Jason's Review:
Jolt Ultra missed the mark nearly as badly as the Avril Lavigne Girlfriend remix with Lil Mama. To Jolt's benefit, at it didn't prattle on about introducing itself for 30 seconds after opening the can. I mean, you can repeat "Lil Mama and Avril Lavigne" all you want, I still don't know who Lil Mama is. Once I researched Lil Mama, I dare say that even Jolt Ultra would have more integrity than to make a song called "Lipgloss", particularly one that was actually about the product "lipgloss".

That being said this tastes refreshing, and like an extra fizzy, under flavored diet sprite. Since the flavor is so light, it's not bad, and it is rather thirst quenching, but this is a hollow shell of Jolt Blue.

The energy was there, but it was too little too late. I'd spent 23.5 oz. thinking about how this energy drink wasn't worth $2.99, and how Avril Lavigne really screwed the pooch with that remix.

Jolt Ultra is a decent buy if you are really thirsty and it delivers a decent amount of energy. The only problem is that it comes 23.5 ounces later. The taste reminds me of carbonated lime Gatorade. Not bad for $2.50.
