'JOLT' (the Kate Beckinsale movie) was Thrilling, but ... 'Trademark Concerns' distract ME from talking about it, so what do *I* know?...

I just watched the movie, and there were a couple plot-twists in it; so I don't know what 'this IndieWire movie-critic is talking about (saying it "went flat" ... maybe she lacks 'the experience necessary' to see what the characters are going through ...) https://www.indiewire.com/2021/07/jolt-review-kate-beckinsale-1234652339/
But--looking for a picture to post here were I was gonna write my review of it--I pulled up THIS bunch of images---featuring JOLT Cola & a type of NERF gun beside the movie.
With which product do YOU associate the name "JOLT"?

I remember buying Jolt Cola when I was in my twenties and needed a pick-me-up. It tasted terrible but did the job. (That was after my first wife made me give up drinking coffee because she'd throw up if she smelled coffee. I "should" have kept drinking coffee and kept walking when I met her.
But I wouldn't have my excellent daughter if I'd done that.
)
I used to wonder if Siskel and Ebert really watched the movies they rated when their ratings didn't match with my movie watching experience... Yes, I know it's supposed to be based on our individual experiences but still...

@xander6464 It tasted like pure caffeine.

@DaddyEvil Isn't that a good thing? or am I taking a different meaning of "pure."

When I see JOLT, I only think of the cola. And it makes me sad because I can't find it around here anymore.
