The Consumer Reports had an article about caffein within the last
two or three years. I would recommend it as very interesting
and informative.
One peculiar fact was that certain orange sodas were spiked with
caffein by the manufacturers. My my.

Yes, if you note the list of caffiene contents in various soft drinks you will realize something that caught my office mate quite by surprise. We have a Pepsi (unfortunately, I'm just dying for a Coke, or better yet an RC to go with my Moon Pie) machine. In it are PEPSI, DIET PEPSI, Mountain Dew, and A&W Root Beer. My friend was buying Mountain Dew thinking it didn't have any caffiene (actually it has more than any of them). The A&W was the only thing that didn't have caffiene. SURPRISE. Read those ingredients carefully. -Ron

For some time, some sizes in some areas of the US, of Sunkist Orange Soda
did indeed contain caffeine (and showed it in the fine print on the label).
Mountain Dew and Aspen still do contain caffeine, as far as I know. So
does chocolate (a very small percentage of caffeine, though). And tea
has more caffeine than coffee. (By the way, shouldn't this have gone to
net.consumers too?)
