So orange soda has caffeine...

jennylee753 · October 2009

So last night I wanted something to drink other than water but wanted to avoid caffeine so FI got me a Diet Sunkist Orange soda. Newsflash to me! Orange soda has caffeine in it!! This just seemed so odd to me. I thought that soda that has caffeine is either dark or yellow (mt dew) or obviously caffeinated. Anyway, I drank this 20 oz. soda at 8:30pm (don't normally drink more than a 12 oz. can in the beginning of the day if it has caffeine) and was up until 3am! I couldn't figure out why until FI called me at work today and said "hey so I know why you were up all night..."So if you didn't already know... it's got caffeine and lots of it.

Oh yeah I know. Diet Sunkist is LOADED with crystal meth.

Do you not read labels?

shellydiane820 · October 2009

Gross! I hate orange soda.

hahaha youre like one of those little old ladies that switches to decaf in the evening.

anna.oskar · October 2009

I assume ALL soda has caffeine unless the label states otherwise. It's soda.

jessjo04 · October 2009

So beer has alcohol...

I once saw someone barf up orange soda and never drank it again. But thanks.

I'm a little old lady: I totally switch to decaf everything after 4pm, lol.

yeah, uh huh. noted.

Try a glass of milk next time or something, its better for you.

jennylee753 · October 2009

I just figured it was like 7-up. Yeah and it wasn't very tasty. I guess I deserved it. Drinking something subpar and not reading it.

Did you also know butter has fat and sugar cubes have sugar? :P

jennylee753 · October 2009

What! Butter has fat?!?!

bbyckes · October 2009

For future reference root beer is caffeine free. Diet A&W is delish.

peachkins · October 2009

I second the goodness of diet root beer.

ricksang · October 2009

I know Jenny I was blown away! I quit eating it out of the tub after I found out that little tidbit of info.

polichik · October 2009

Actually, some root beer does have caffeine. I know because my dad loves root beer floats but is terrified of caffeine.

missy68 · October 2009

They don't all (like root beers) but, yes indeedy, Sunkist is a caffeinated beverage....I wish they'd list amounts on the labels, but it IS listed on the ingredients.PS - its also in Excedrin and Anacin, and some other pain relievers.

ricksang · October 2009

I drink hot green tea before bed. It does have a little caffeine in it, but it is very soothing.

salt78 · October 2009

Haha whenever I hear someone mention Anacin, it reminds me of a Family Guy episode.

mwhitson14 · October 2009

I freaking love sunkist. But yeah, named by Eat This, Not That as the worst soda.

missy68 · October 2009

Yeah, some don't but some do - Barq's has caffeine, , but if I remember correctly, they did make a caffeine-free version (but it may have been for one market only) that was available at BYU in Honolulu. Forgive me if that information is incorrect; I'm remembering something I was told 10 years ago.Interesting website: [url]http://www.caffeineawareness.org[/url]

jennylee753 · October 2009

Yeah Diet A&W was my second choice.. Should have made it my 1st.

lyndausvi · October 2009

I only drink orange soda with my candy corn shot (jäger layered on top of orange soda). I'm not sure I knew it had caffine, but of I'm drinking candy corn I'm not sure I would even care.

punkyb2b · October 2009

Bless your heart dear.

karenttrouble · October 2009

i didn't know that! I try to avoid caffeine even though I have soda some times. Sprite doesn't have caffeine and some root beers don't either.

mocha beans · October 2009

Thanks for the newsflash, capt obvious.

missy68 · October 2009

In the region I used to live, they make a soda similar to Mountain Dew. Talk about an evil soda. Sugar, carbonation, caffeine, AND citric acid. Sundrop. Even had a Diet Sundrop, so you could remove the sugar, but the citric acid and carbonation combo was still evil.Hell on wheels for teeth. I believe some in the oral profession field (the word I don't like to say close to bedtime for fear of nightmares) called it the D****'s friend, since it would send business their way (for cavities, etc).

ThePinkSuperhero · October 2009

Wait, is Dentist a bad word now? lol

missy68 · October 2009

I put those in for me. I am terrified of them. Stomach-churningly scared.To the point where I paid $550 ($275 per appointment) out of my own pocket for IV sedation for two appointments for the crown and broken tooth I had done prior to my wedding. I also pay for nitrous oxide to have my teeth cleaned.So yes, it is a bad word for me.
