Caffeine

O.k. So I checked out what the content of caffeine is in different drinks and in chocolate. I was kind of shocked by the numbers. I have been feeling very low on energy lately and so I have had a couple Diet Pepsi's to get myself going. Robert has been giving me a hard time. So I decided to check out how Diet Pepsi ranked next to other options.

12 oz. Diet Pepsi = 35 mg caffeine
12 oz. Diet Coke = 47 mg caffeine
1.55 oz. Hershey Chocolate = 9 mg caffeine = 12 oz. close to 70 mg. caffeine
16 oz. Rockstar = 160 mg caffeine

So by choosing Diet Pepsi don't you think I'm making the best decision? ;-) It's diet so it doesn't have the sugar and it has less caffeine then Diet Coke. What's your opinion?

I'll admit, I enjoy a diet coke every once in a while. I too am lacking in energy. I think it's an iron deficency.

P.s. I found the notebook that has our secret language in it. I peed a little when I read it. :)

My opinion is that you have provided us all with a very good education of whiich drink to choose when we need the biggest pick-me-up via stimulants.
THANKS!
