Hmmm. They used to sell them in the C&D.... but now they appear to have given that shelf-space to something else. Guess the multi-flavoured jolt didn't sell too well. :P
I think it's actually something about cirtus drinks. Because I've seen caffeinated clear drinks here (like "Water Joe" although rarely), and Guru (which is white grape juice based) is heavily caffeinated, you just can't get caffeinated citrus drinks up here.
When I was doing training for US clients, I always used to start my first session with a can of US Dew. I'd pop-quiz the class with the difference between US Dew and Canadian Dew. Few knew the answer. None understood it. "What's the point"? they'd ask.
And rightly! Because de-caf Mountain Dew is... what, sweet green fizzy water!?

Re:

Canada has some silly rule about only brown colas having caffeine.
*shrugs*
Heck if I know...

Re:
Date: 2002-04-03 01:17 pm (UTC)Okay, maybe the rule has changed? Or I never clearly understood it either.
I just think it's pretty funny, all things considered.

Sweet.

Date: 2002-04-04 04:51 am (UTC)Well, then I won't be drinking Coke for caffeine... it seems pointless compared to Jolt.
Jolt forever. :)

Date: 2002-04-03 02:36 pm (UTC)A policy now under review in Canada makes it illegal to add caffeine to any non-cola sodas sold there.
Wish they had a reference to the actual policy!
Re:
Date: 2002-04-03 09:08 pm (UTC)Non-cola sodas, hmm?
I guess caffeinated water doesn't count.
Re:
Date: 2002-04-04 07:17 am (UTC)It might not count because it's not a soda (i.e. non-carbonated). Man, talk about bizarre.
