Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 02:52 PM by alexisfree
my buzz 2-4 cups a day...what is yours?


Drug makers have to label the amount of caffeine in their offerings, but food and beverage companies don’t this a simple how fast your dose can add up. this is how big your buzz is..

Hershey’s milk chocolate almond bar…..25 mg
Expresso, 1 oz -shot………………………..........40mg
Brewed tea, 8oz -cup……………………..........50mg
Coca-cola, 20oz bottle……………………........57mg
RedBull, 8.3 oz can ……………………….........80mg
Excedrin pain reliever, 2 tablets…………130mg
Brewed coffe, 12oz-cup…………………........200mg
Mountain Dew, 64-oz double big Gulp…294mg

2. I don't trust RedBull
I don't know why. :shrug:

2-3 cups o'joe per workday keep me going. Rarely drink it on weekends.

3. Coffee and tea.
Red Bull tastes too much like Robitussin to suit me.

5. The problem with red bull -
is that you have to heat it up before the cocaine will dissolve.

I say stick to coffee.

6. Sugar-free Red Bull and green tea

10. Sounds like my buzz.
I drink green tea all day long & a SF RB before a workout or when I really need help.

18. Coffee is a warm hug in the morning,
I wake up slow, always have. Every morning I pour my personality and brain in my first cup. Take the booze, take the cigarets, never my coffee.
