I read that Mountain Dew has the highest caffeine of any soft drink.

Dew Fuel is a caffeinated version of Canadian Mountain Dew (which is not caffeinated in Canada due to Health Canada regulations that only allow caffeine in 'dark-coloured' varieties of soft drinks such as cola, and root beer) and is branded as a natural health product. Dew Fuel mainly replaces Canada's (Caffeine-Free) Mountain Dew on store shelves, although many places still sell both drinks.

wtf.

ammy · 09-19-2006, 04:46 PM

yeah. wtf.
though while pregnant and wanting mt dew, it would be nice to live in canada where i could have non caffeinated dew!

09-19-2006, 04:46 PM

toldja canada was gay

they only like their coca products in DARK drinks! color coordination!SEEE

Dead · 09-19-2006, 04:48 PM

Oh yeah I saw that mountain dew extreme or something and it says energy drink on the can so i looked it up and it has the same amount of caffeine as coke or something, and that US normal MD has even more than canadian extreme one.

contusion · 09-19-2006, 04:51 PM

on the bright side, ephedrine is legal and sells for under five dollars a bottle.

Lie · 09-19-2006, 06:23 PM

I should have said espresso. I've never tried a red eye; the whole idea of it seems sacreligious to me.

Lie · 09-19-2006, 06:24 PM

Plus if I ended up liking it it could actually be a problem.

Eulogy · 09-19-2006, 06:45 PM

I've never heard it called a red eye.

Just...coffee with espresso. or a Depth Charge if I'm at Caribou.

Unfortunately I have no means of obtaining espresso without going to Starbucks here. And that could get expensive.

Eulogy · 09-19-2006, 06:46 PM

...and they called it a Boilermaker at this other coffee place.

Lucky Day Spa · 09-19-2006, 06:48 PM

"Coffee with espresso" sounds ridiculous. Is it filter/instant coffee with a shot espresso added? That seems pointless to me; if you're somewhere that sells espresso, why not just order a long black?

Dead · 09-19-2006, 06:50 PM

I tried a real Redbull when I was in Taiwan and I didn't feel anything. I thought it was supposed to be better than the american one somehow. I'll look it up later.

Look it up now. This is too important to postpone.

mercurial · 09-19-2006, 07:04 PM

this whole coffee + espresso thing is confusing me as well

espresso IS coffee ... the hell?

ella · 09-19-2006, 07:08 PM

espresso is a condensed shot of coffee.

they're talking a cup of coffee, with a shot of expresso added. I believe.

mercurial · 09-19-2006, 07:11 PM

yes and what is involved with this 'cup of coffee'? how is that produced?

all the coffee i drink uses that shot (or shots) of coffee as the basis ... unless it's done in a plunger/french press

ammy · 07:50 PM

espresso is made with high pressure quickly through finely ground dark grinds.
a french press is made by letting the grinds (a much coarser grind) seep and then pressing them out (more oils this way).
drip coffee is made by slowly dripping hot water through a pile of coffee (a grind in between the fine grind of espresso and the coarse grind of press)in a filter, no pressure is used.

i'm nearly positive the caffeine content ranking if all using the same darkness of roast would be as follows

pressed
drip
shot of espresso

quick fact: lighter coffees have more caffeine than darker, so if you're buying dark roasts for ore strength, all you're getting is strength of flavor, more of the caffeine is killed or whatever by the roasting processes.

I like diet red bull.
