Mountain Dew is the greatest soda in the world. I am not a soda drinker, but I will NEVER turn down a Dew. It is possibly the only soda that cant be used to mix a drink(alcohol) with. It tastes yummy, has tons of caffene, is a pretty yellow/green(yellow#5)it just rawks. mind you I was at the "elbow room" on Bleaker st last night till 2(buddies band played). than drove an hour, hung out at Stonybrook Univ. dorm till 630A crashed on a tiny uncomfortable dorm couch till 8A drove another hour to work. took a(insert racial stereo type)shower and am now 48fl oz into the work day shaking woo hoo comments ------------------ Hanta-Force Paintball www.hanta-force.com

Coffee easily has more caffeine, but it's not the pretty color. If you want some soft drinks that really pack a wallop, I had a friend that told me once of products called "Krank 20" and "Java Water". They both have about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee and I think are both just caffeinated water. But I agree, in my healthier days, anyone in our development group that didn't drink Mountain Dew was an outcast. I sit next to a guy that has what appears to be a generic 3 liter bottle of Mountain Dew called "Mountain Lightning". Scary. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses?

I just found something on the 'Net called "Afri-cola" that has about 50% more caffeine than Jolt. I've had Jolt before, but it never really worked as well as a cup of coffee... it has a bit more than half the amount of caffeine as coffee... duh, maybe that's why. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses?

You rule, VOR! You know where it's at! I have become so completely and fully addicted to Mountain Dew since I have been in college, it is kind of scary. Thank god snopes.com cleared up that whole sterilization thing... In fact, myself and my roomate each drink so much Mountain Dew that we decided we wanted to decorate our apartment with it. We stacked each can on top of the other, and lined the walls completely with Moutain Dew... for about a 6' by 6' area of our apartment. It looks really cool... I have been meaning to take a picture of it with my digital camera for a while now... maybe I will do that today when I get home, and I can post it in this thread so everyone can see. ------------------ "Any event, once it has occurred, can be made to appear inevitable by a competent historian."

For caffine, I have found nothing to be better than "RC: EDGE" Cola. If I'm nodding off while driving between SA and Houston, I pick up this thing, and I can stay up for a whole 24 more hours. It kicks me in the ass! For taste, fountain Dr. Pepper is THE BEST. No question. All your colas are belong to Dr. Pepper! ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
Damn, I must be bored as hell at work... I'm doing searches on "colas" and "caffeine". Anyway... I just found something that says that the Mountain Dew in Canada has no caffeine. Wierd. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses? I say give me something intelligent to respond to." -- Dimwits beware, B-Ball freak tells it like it is. Sing it bro!
I stopped drinking Colas when I spilled a can of Coke on a stage I was painting. In the time it took to get a rag and clean it up (maybe 2 minutes), the Coke had eaten through the paint I had just put down. In fact, not only did it eat through that layer of paint, but it went through several layers of old pain right down to the plywood. All in a couple of minutes! I decided that Coke can't be much good for the insides! If you know what I'm sayin'. ------------------ Everything you do, effects everything that is.
The best thing about Mountain Dew: You'd never guess, but the third ingredient listed for Mountain Dew is "Concentrated Orange Juice", right after carbonated water and sugar/corn syrup.
I dont drink it solely for the caffine. anyone can drink some crap tastinf soda for the caffine, but The dew is yummy. BTW jolt has 200(g i think) dew 150 dr pep 130/12oz. coffee 200/8oz. no-doz and such have 200 also. it is the legal non prescription level. jolt now has 4 diff flavors, and ther are tons of dew knockoff, but it is still the champ based on yummyness/color/marketing. but I liked the old cans better peace, i gotta go teach some swimming lessons. for the first time ever the kids are gonna yell at ME to stop splashing, and running in the pool area FYI researchers have discovered that an fresh apple in the AM increces your alertness more than any amount of caffine. try it, I did, and its true. weird too. but the caffine gets you through lunch PEACE ------------------ Hanta-Force Paintball www.hanta-force.com
No-Doz has 100mg, Vivarin is at the 200 level. Here's the wierd part. I was a caffiene junkie (hence the fact I know no-doz from vivarin) up until the day I started working shift work. Now that I have a rotating schedule of days and nights. I stay away from caffiene as much as possible. If I need to get some sleep, I don't need caffiene keeping me awake. Once I adjusted to the schedule, I can stay awake all night caffiene free. ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS

I used to drink coffee, iced tea, and carbonated drinks all the time. I gave up caffeinated drinks a little over a year ago. Initially it was painful, but now I just drink water in the mornings while I watch people guzzling the java. I usually piss them off because I'm wired in the mornings. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses?

That's my point...I learn the rule, but then words like caffeine pop up. Arrggh! ------------------ Behad Sergeant at Arms of the Clutch BBS
Naa, those things don't have that much caffeine. No "major" soda has more than about 60-70mg. That's why Vivarin exists. It's the REAL "keep-me-awaker" (although it never really did anything for me either). But I must admit that out of all the caffeinated drinks out there, The Dew was probably my favorite. ------------------ "So you say you want some intelligent responses?

Mountain Dew, I'd rather have a Crab Juice. ------------------ Ceo of the Walt Williams and Lisa Malosky fan club. atheistalliance.org
