(And I mean CocaCola) Well, you could just as well eat sugar directly (guess what the brain uses as its source of energy! :). The cola has lots of sugar in it, and I figured I lowered my own sugar consumtion a lot just by eating the sugar directly instead (you can't stand to eat more than 5 pieces (or whatever the small sugar cubes are called in english) an hour, which is *13* *less* than there is in one cola. So how many colas do you drink per hour? Tommy Petersson You need not advice me of the consequences to eating sugar, I know, I know. My point is that cola is worse. -- Leonard

Dunno if it's over in Europe yet, but here in the States we've got this stuff called Jolt Cola. A full dose of sugar PLUS twice the caffeine of your average cola. Mmmm-mmmm good!

A sixpack of >Jolt will keep you up and coding well into the night. :-) Jolt is kids' stuff too :-) Real men take Vivarin. Each little capsul has 200 milligrams of caffeine. About the same as two cups of coffee, but when taking 2 capsuls I'd swear it's a lot more than 4 cups! This brings up another question: how much caffeine is in Coke or Pepsi? Milligram-wise or coffee equivilent-wise, whichever way you might know.

Back in the foggy reaches of my brain, I used to know the caffine numbers. As I recall, a cup of coffee maxes out at about 160mg of caffine, depending on who made it. Soda (Pop, Tonic, etc) has some legal limit (since in all cases the caffine is added, not subtracted, to make up for the fact that Coca extract is no longer legal), maybe around 80mg. Teas vary greatly, but never get over 120mg or so. Again, that's from memory, and could even be out of date; I don't know the latest in caffine technology. I do recall that, in college, Vivarin were preferable to NoDoze -- NoDoze claimed to be the equivalent of a cup of coffee, at 150mg, while Vivarin was 200mg, and often cheaper (not being such a name brand). >Dave Schaumann | You are in a twisty maze of little -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy "Don't worry, 'bout a thing.

Classic Coca-Cola Diet Coke Mouantain Jolt Pepsi Dr. Pepper Coca-cola Dew Cal. 144 154 0 129 170 159 144 Sugar 37.2 40 .3 44.4 NA 39.6 38 (grams) Caffeine 46.0 46.0 46.0 54.0 71.2 38.4 40.8 (mg) all are per 12 fl. oz. His recommendation for Unix programs is any Coke product. Pepsi lacked the punch, as did Dr. Pepper. Mouantain Dew while having the next highest punch then Jolt was too sweet. Jolt although the clear winner in performance was too "jarring" fro prolonged use but excellent for short bursts or quick patches. -Shan Duncan Department. of Biological Sciences University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI. 53201
