About Liquid Lightning®

Liquid Lightning® was invented by me- Jimmy Fucking Lightning! Yes - THE Jimmy Fucking Lightning: international superstar, stuntman, model, playboy, eccentric millionare, philanthropist, exotic fish veterinarian, successful business owner, inventor, chemist, and stuntman! I first had this idea two years ago in 1990 after I was bedridden for six months due to a stunt I did for Beggers & Betrayal 2: Search for the Sky King. I was doing meditative Tai Chi atop Mount Wutai in the Ming dynasty Shuxiang Temple when I was filled with passion, purpose, and ENERGY! Inspiration struck like... well, lightning! I was invigorated, and I knew that I couldn't keep this blessing to myself- I needed to share it with the world. More importantly my friend, I needed to share it with you! So I set out on decade long quest to find only the finest, rarest, strongest, and most expensive ingredients. After that, I went to ten years of chemistry at the University of Hertfordshire in London refining my skills in enrgy drink making and business opperations. Now, four years later I'm proud to finally introduce my pièce de résistance: Liquid Lightning®!

"But Jimmy," I hear you ask from your 73' Ford Mustang "What's actually in it? Where did it come from? You were fantastic in Dust and Danger: Ballad of the One Arm Desperado by the way, your portrayal of Ignacio Thunderfist was as epic as it was touching."

To which I can only say

  1. Only the best ingredients gathered from across this beautiful globe used in our patented recipe!
  2. Honestly? You're gonna want this, and if you have this, they're going to want
    YOU!
  3. Thank you. I try to put my whole heart and soul into every role I take on- AND, of course, I do my own stunts.

    I am absolutetly thrilled to announce that we have THREE count 'em THREE exciting and inovative flavors for you to enjoy! Flavors such as:

    Blueberry Bolt (original)

    This isn’t AN energy drink. No my friends, this is THE energy drink! This is the original classic flavor of Liquid Lightning® that fans new and old can enjoy. Honestly, this is my personal favorite. You see, I have always been a HUGE fan of blueberries and wanted a way to bring that same feeling of home and comfort into each sip of this delicious soda alternative.

    So- I did just that! In every sip of Blueberry Bolt you’ll be taken to a world of pure adulterated fizz and flavor! With over four times the amount of stimulant chemicals including caffeine as our competitors, this is sure to give you the extra boost of energy you’ll need for work, school, church, crime, tropical expeditions, guided museum tours, Urbex adventures, repelling, sky diving, oceanic voyages, collecting delicate bio samples of neighboring worlds on a top secret government mission in which they attempt to clone a species long deceased, band practice, or even school!

    Take a sip and let’er rip as you bolt into action!

    Blueberry Bolt: Taste the Bolt. Feel the Burst.
    Cherry Thunder (New)

    When I first thought of the idea of expanding our brand and adding more flavors to our repertoire the first thing I thought of was cherries. Tasteful. Timeless. Classic. I got this inspiration from my experience being stranded in the Sonoran desert in the Southern region of Arizona. This happened during the production of Dust and Danger: Ballad of the One Arm Desperado.

    One night me and a few of the other actors decided it would be a fun idea to try some peyote about a mile from where filming was happening. Well, long story short I found myself the next morning stranded in the desert with nothing more than a leather stunt jacket, my silver haircomb, and a pound and a half of cherry lozenges I stole from the breakroom. After nearly three weeks fighting the elements and animals I finally made my way back to the set, changed forever. My understudy was shocked to see me back and better than ever!

    After nine years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. My team of world class scientists managed to blend the flavors of sweet and sultry cherries, with more brain power than Einstein and Mary Currie combined! Enjoy a delicious can of Cherry Thunder today!

    Cherry Thunder: Sweet Heat. Sudden Strike.
    Citrus Shockwave (Limited Edition)

    Two words.

    Citrus. Shockwave.

    Late one summer night, I was solving complex equations and pondering the existence of man in my Nikola Tesla style laboratory. I found myself in a drought of flash and flavor, so I took a long quiet walk to the Liquid Lightning® factory next door. After letting myself in, I spent some time staring longingly into one of our giant mixing vats as that has always sparked insiration before. That’s when it struck me- a piece of falling sheet metal from the next floor up. I toppled and and fell haphazardly into the behemoth of a cauldron before we put in any of the flavor additives you’ve all come to know and love.

    This bubbling beauty came to us front the god of storms himself: Thor- That’s what I call our chem mixer. I discovered this miraculous flavor accidentally and found that our base drink had a strong sour and lemony taste. Likely due to the amount of the citric acid and or signature blend of artificial sugars. Until that day, I was simply a humble multi millionaire and succesful business owner - pathetic. But when I fell into Thor on that fateful day I became Jimmy Fucking Lightning, powered by a thousand storms and ten thousand milligrams of caffeine coursing through my veins. Now my friends, it is your turn to conquer the storm with Citrus Shockwave!

    Citrus Shockwave: Hit the gas. Ride the Wave.

About Jimmy F. Lightning

Interviewer: Hello everyone and thank you for tuning into CPRNN, I’m Michelle Robins with an exclusive interview with Hollywood star Jimmy Lightning. Welcome, Jimmy.

Jimmy: Thanks Michelle. Happy to be here. Also, I understand we’re on television but I’d prefer if you called me by my full name: Jimmy Fucking Lightning.

Interviewer: [seemingly ignoring Jimmy] So, why don’t you go ahead and introduce yourself. Who is Jimmy Lightning?

Jimmy: Did you seriously ask me that? Listen sweetheart, you’re talking to THE Jimmy Fucking Lightning. For those of you who are living under a rock, I like fast cars, beautiful women, and enough booger sugar to make Dennis Quaid look like McGruff the crime dog- and of course, I do my own stunts.

Interviewer: Who’s the most important person in your life?

Jimmy: The most important person in my life died a long time ago, now though I only look out for number one. [Jimmy looks intensely at interviewer]

Interviewer: What would you say is your greatest accomplishment?

Jimmy: Besides my major motion pictures I assume?

Interviewer: [nervously] Oh- of course, Mr.Lightning

Jimmy: Please, call me Jimmy Fucking Lightning. Mr.Lightning was my father. Also, to answer your question, about 7 years ago I started an energy drink company. It ended up flopping mostly, but we’ve somehow still got an active website if you’re interested in trying Liquid Lightning: the Future of Energy®.

[interviewer shakes head]

Jimmy: No? Eh, your loss.

Interviewer: What’s the biggest difference between now, and when you were on the silver screen?

Jimmy: Are you joking? I’d say the biggest difference between now and then is that I used to be famous. You could walk into any dime store and see my face plastered throughout the isles. Whether they were thrilling action movies, deep passionate romance films, or cheesy infomercials meant to separate old folks from their retirement money, everyone knew me- more importantly everyone liked me.

Interviewer: What is your favorite memory from growing up?

Jimmy: You’re asking about my childhood? Look doll, I’ve got no interest in speaking on ghosts of the past. Besides, I don’t remember much from before the glitz and the glam.

Interviewer: Is there anything you’d like to say to your adoring fans?

Jimmy: Yeah. Don’t buy coke from your accountant- those rat faced fucks will sell you bad shit and then try to inherate your fortune.

Interviewer: [Forced laughter] Hahaha- very insightful. I’m sure that’ll do well with your stand up career.

Jimmy: What? I wasn’t joking, I really mea-

Interviewer: [Interrupting] Our last question is one I was actually advised to stay away from by our stage director, but I think our fans deserve to know.

Jimmy: [leaning forward] Oh?

Interviewer: It’s no surprise to anyone that you and your co star the late Vivian Velvet were more than just associates.

Jimmy: [sternly] Watch it.

Interviewer: [ignoring Jimmy once more] With that said, are there any special ladies in your life? I know you’re last romance ended rather abruptly, but I’m sure a rich and famous movie star like you has women lining up around the corner.

Jimmy: [narrowing eyes at interviewer] Listen you scuzzy scum sucking parisite, I don’t know if this is some sick fucking joke- but next time you should listen to your stage director. To answer your question, not that I need to, no. I don’t. It’s a little hard to find sloppy seconds after you watch your best friend and lovers hide being scraped out of a crumpled sports car.

[Jimmy maintains piercing eye contact]

Interviewer: [trying to remain calm] Well, there you have it folks, our exclusive late night interview with former movie star Jimmy Lightning.

Jimmy: The name is Jimmy Fucking Lightning. Say it right or don’t say it at all. Also you didn’t have to add the “former”, that’s just rude. I’ll be back on my feet soon.

Interviewer: [quietly] My apologies, Mr.Jimmy Fucking Lightning.
