Extra Joss

A correction:

EXTRA JOSS is an energy drink, not the mojo of cigarettes. It's a nuclear yellow-green, Red-Bull type beverage, advertised with a power fist & the clear but illogical: "Who needs rest when you can keep moving?"

Click here to see a ridiculous YouTube TV ad for Extra Joss featuring a soccer player & Balinese Kecak dance, which is a famous local performance form designed by foreigners for tourists.

"Extra Joss" is one of those highly successful made-up words that's simply fun to say aloud. It seems a likely enough synonym for "mojo"; I think I'll make it a regular part of my English vocabulary.
