Caffeine Content of Popular Drinks
In the June 2006 issue of Men’s Health, there’s a small blurb about the caffeine content of popular drinks. Here are the most caffeinated products in the five categories of energy drink, tea, coffee, diet soda, and regular soda.
- SoBe Adrenaline Rush, 9.2 mg per oz
- Nestea Cool Lemon Iced Tea, 0.96 mg per oz
- Starbucks Doubleshot, 16.3 mg per oz
- Diet Coke with Lime, 3.3 mg per oz
- Mountain Dew, 3.8 mg per oz
For comparison, a regular coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts contains 8.9 mg of caffeine per ounce.
Hmmm, any coincidence that I drink Doubleshots, Diet Coke with Lime, and Mountain Dew the most? Really. I guess my body can tell which drink gives me the most nitrous for the brain.
