This can result in the inability to function without having a large dose of caffeine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Insomnia:<\/strong> Drinking beverages with caffeine before going to sleep can cause <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/nutrition\/caffeine-and-sleep#:~:text=Can%20Caffeine%20Cause%20Insomnia%3F,and%20overall%20poorer%20sleep%20quality.\" target=\"_blank\">insomnia<\/a>.

There was a limited time window between 2017 and 2019 during which Jolt Cola could be purchased at Dollar General, Casey&rsquo;s General Store, and on Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since March 2019, Jolt Cola has become &ldquo;unavailable&rdquo; on Amazon and impossible to purchase in shops.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_was_Jolt_discontinued\"><\/span>Why was Jolt discontinued?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Jolt Cola firm went bankrupt in 2009 after price conflicts with its supplier, but it reemerged in 2011 as Jolt Energy. And in 2017, via the Dollar Store, Jolt Cola reappeared. I wouldn&rsquo;t call it a comeback, but it did happen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a real bummer that they got rid of Jolt Cola since it tastes quite similar to Coke, but with a little less sugary aftertaste. One possible explanation is that instead of high-fructose corn syrup found in most colas, they utilize cane sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Was_Jolt_the_first_energy_drink\"><\/span>Was Jolt the first energy drink?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The first energy drink, Jolt, had twice as much caffeine as other brands and twice as much sugar. Since Monster and Red Bull had already established themselves as market leaders when it rebranded, the cola disguise didn&rsquo;t help. Jolt Cola first appeared in 1985, advertising itself as having twice the caffeine of other soft drinks in addition to twice the sugar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. J. Rapp developed cola as a highly caffeinated drink. Promoted as a stimulant like energy drinks, it was aimed at the young professional and student demographic.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_C4_Energy_Healthy\"><\/span><strong>Is C4 Energy Healthy?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While I wouldn&rsquo;t call C4 Energy particularly healthy, its lack of calories and sugar is certainly helpful when you&rsquo;re trying to lose weight<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The large amounts of caffeine present in C4 are harmful if taken in excess. If you have more than one can in a single day, you are likely to face adverse effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube

bulk of negative effects.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Taking more than one can will exceed the 400mg daily limit set by experts, this can cause headaches, insomnia, abnormal heart rate, and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the lack of sugar and calories is a quality only a few other energy drinks have, it is ideal for people looking to get in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking C4 in moderation will not cause any adverse effects, so stay safe, and you can take advantage of C4&rsquo;s energy-boosting properties without facing side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
