CAFFEINE in Soft Drinks

[Vandil]

According to a new study, the caffeine content of store-brand soft drinks varies greatly from the national-brand soft drinks they're based on. And, in some cases, the store brands even vary from batch to batch!

More interesting was the measured caffeine content they list for the national-brand soft drinks:

Coca-Cola (33.9 mg/12 oz)
Diet Coke (46.3 mg/12 oz)
Pepsi (38.9 mg/12 oz)
Diet Pepsi (36.7 mg/12 oz)
Dr Pepper (42.6 mg/12 oz)
Diet Dr Pepper (44.1 mg/12 oz)
Mountain Dew (54.8 mg/12 oz)
Diet Mountain Dew (55.2 mg/12 oz)



/me finishes off a remnant 2L bottle of Diet Mountain Dew.
No wonder I feel all fuel-injected right now...

Mmm Caffeine in pop is what makes me survive at work.

[ArdvarkOfDoom]

Haha, I love how Northern people say pop. For some reason it always cracks me up when I'm in Nebraska or South Dakota and hear it for some reason

[ThinkPink]

Well, we don't all say 'sodey-pop' like southerners.

[Vandil]

I grew up calling it "soda". (East Coast from mid-Atlantic to Northeast anyway.) But since I know people that call it "pop," I just say "soft drink" or name the beverage by its name.
