Growing up in the area, I just assumed everyone in New Jersey knew about this drink.

It was a staple in my childhood. I used to have it all the time hanging out with friends and at birthday parties, but as I got older I started to realize that Boost! was largely unknown outside of this little pocket of New Jersey.

It was created around 1910 by a local pharmacist named Benjamin Rice Faunce.

The drink was registered as a trademark in 1913 and the Boost! Company was formed in 1915, according to Wikipedia.

It's described as a sugary flat soda and comes as a syrup sold in half-gallon jugs with caffeine and is also available with no caffeine.

You add water, shake well, and serve it with ice.

You can also make slushies!

It says on the bottle you can have it shipped worldwide at takaboost.com.
