When Fry's opened their first electronics store in the Bay area, they 
were the cheapest place to buy Jolt cola by the caselot.  For a time, 
there was some bizarre chocolate-flavored diet soda (Canfields) that 
enjoyed a brief bit of popularity among the technoscenti.  I 
suspected that BASIC programmers drank it.  I thought it was 
revolting.
