Throwback Thursday

 

When the dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was a computer programmer, Jolt was the elixir of the deadline. We guzzled gallons of this stuff to bang out thousands of lines of code.

Did you drink this stuff?

    1. Not a very healthy option, but it helped get the job done.

  2. I don´t know this drink.
    Only HTML, CSS, Java Script, SQL.... does not qualify as programmer, I think ;-)

    1. I know all the dead languages: Fortran77, COBOL, BAL, RPG/RPGII. I worked on machines by Basic Four, and they had their own proprietary 32-bit Basic.

  3. Never tried it. At one time I drank Tab, and then when Diet Coke came out, I changed my choice of soft drink. I know they tasted different, but I can't remember what Tab tasted like. Can your remember what Jolt tasted like? Enjoy this beautiful day CJ.

    1. It tasted just like cola, but had a boost to it.

  4. I must have been living under a rock! I never heard of this one. I'm a die hard Coke fan (which is probably what ruined my stomach.....😔)
