EFFECTS OF LONG

As a JOSTAholic I can personally testify to the effects that even short-term JOSTA deprivation can have on the mind and body. (For me, long term is about 2 days!)

For your own safety, if you are a JOSTAholic like me, NEVER deprive yourself of this essential lifeblood unless you have no choice!!

Melissa--I first tried Josta about 2 years ago in the SMOKEY MTS. near gatlinburg. It is the best damn soda on the market so I bought a 12 pack came home to new orleans and enjoyed it. Even the stores sold it. A few months ago every store in new orleans, La stopped selling Josta and I have been on a big crave ever since. Some one help me but life in my life I need to taste it once more

Jostachick--I have fantastic josta dreams, but just as I'm about to taste it, I wake up. Josta withdrawl is the longest lasting I know of and I see no end for the cravings. It needs to come back or no josta and no josta make Erin go crazy!

Joy--I used to drink Josta for breakfast. Now I've moved to college and have to buy pop from vending machines! They only sell Coke products. I'm slowly deteriorating.

Jason (Texas)--Yep, I know this felling well. I have now been without Josta for A MONTH!!!!! It's like a nightmare. I'm tired all the time, I have trouble concentrating, I fidget, I've been getting sick more often, and lately I haven't been sleeping much. But, then again, it could be completely unrelated to Josta, but somehow I just don't think so. I think I need it to survive. Just the thought of having a nice, cool, Josta in my hand makes me want to weep. Please, don't allow your selves to go through what I am. DO NOT EVER GO WITHOUT THIS BEVERAGE FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. It's just not worth it.

Bob's personal experience: This past summer I vacationed in the Great Smoky Mountains of NC for a week with my family. When it came time to leave, it didn't occur to me that i should stock up on JOSTA, I thought they had it everywhere. Boy was I wrong! There wasn't any JOSTA within 150 miles at least! The entire week, I was plagued by that tired, run down feeling, I was extremely fidgety, edgy, and nervous. All I could think about was gulping down an ice cold JOSTA in 10 seconds flat, and drinking another one slowly just to savor that flavor. When I asked around about JOSTA, the most promising response I got was "What's a JOSTA?" By the end of the week I was so desperate I would have killed for a JOSTA if I could get one. After what seemed like an eternity, we finally came home, and I ran to the service station and emptied their entire stock of JOSTA. I haven't been without it for longer than a day since!

Here is a submission from the Jostalovers mailing list...most of us feel the same way this guy does.

ALRIGHT GUYS. I CHECKED OUT A JOSTA PAGE TODAY. G-D FREAKIN DAMMIT, THIS IS F*****G BULLS**T. WE NEED JOSTA BACK NOW! WE CANT HAVE ANYMORE DELAYS. ITS GETTING OUT OF HAND. IM A JOSTA ADDICT (LITRALLY) AND I HAVE HAD THOSE 4 JOSTAS UNOPEND IN MY ROOM FOR MONTHS, EVEN A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR. THEY EXPIRED SO LONG AGO THE EXPIRATION DATE HAS FADED. I SWEAR TO GOD, I KID YOU NOT! I NEED MY JOSTA NOW! WE GOTTA GET MORE PEOPLE. WE NEED SIGNATURES ON PAPER, WE NEED RALLIES AND FUNDRAISING S**T AT THE MALLS, COMPETITIONS, SPONSORS, EVERYTHING WE CAN GET AND IF WE CANT GET IT, WELL TO F*****G BAD WELL GET IT ANYWAYS! WE MUST CREATE A DEMAND FOR JOSTA AND TAKE ACTION A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SORRY ABOUT THE LANGUAUGE YOU ALL, BUT IM SERIOUSLY SICK OF THIS. WE MUST TAKE A STAND, AND LIKE REZNOR OR WHO EVER (I FORGOT HIS NAME, SORRY) SAID, IF WE HAVE TO, WE WILL GO TO A SMALLER COMPANY AND ASK THEM TO PRODUCE IT AND BUY THE RIGHTS FROM PEPSI. AND LIKE I READ ON ONE SITE, PEPSI WAS GLAD IT WENT, SO IM SURE THEYLL BE DAMN GLAD TO SELL IT. WE MUST FIGHT FOR IT NOW, MY MOMS CLIENT OWNS A RADIO STATION THAT IS VERY VERY VERY POPULAR HERE IN ATLANTA (ITS CALLED NINTY FIVE FIVE, THE BEAT) AND MAYBE I CAN GET AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR IT. BUT WE MUST GET OUR JOSTA BACK IN OUR LIFETIME, OR ELSE, I WILL TRY MY BEST TO BECOME CEO OF PEPSI WHEN IM OLDER, AND CHANGE THEIR WHOLE F*****G AD CAMPAING, AND ALL THEIR SALES, AS WELL AS THEIR PRODUCTS. LATER PEOPLE. ONCE AGAIN SORRY FOR THE EXTENSIVE USE OF THE ENGLISH LAUNGUAGE.
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS!
