Wait, what?
The point of diet soda is that it has less sugar and “things that make you fat.” Last I checked, caffiene isn’t in the “things that make you fat” category. Nobody ever said that Diet Coke has less caffiene than regular Coke, I dare you to find that statement from the company. To top it off, if you don’t want the caffiene, they make a caffiene-free version of Coke also.

This ia a revelation? They make Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, so OBVIOUSLY, regular Diet Coke has caffeine. Duh!

More caffeine is a bad thing? Not on an early schedule! ;o)
After looking at that list, the thing that shocked me is that Sunkist Orange has caffeine. Why is that? I bought (note: past tense) that stuff for my kids all the time because I don’t want them drinking caffeinated stuff.
Anybody know what Diet Cheerwine tastes like? Never heard of it.

Cheerwine is a soft drink found almost entirely in North Carolina, where it originated, and surrounding areas in adjacent states. Very popular – but not found elsewhere very often. Similar to Vernor’s Ginger Ale in Michigan which is extremely popular here but not found much anywhere else.
Diet Coke may have more caffeine than regular Coke, but saying it is “loaded” is inaccurate hype. Compared to energy drinks, Mountain Dew type drinks and especially coffee – diet Coke has a lot less. There are plenty of websites around to confirm that.

OMGITSACONSPIRACY!
Obviously the giant quartel of illegal caffeine producers want to put our brain to sleep by putting more caffeine in diet soda! Wait. What?

Mmmm… Cheerwine… You non-North Carolinians don’t know what you’re missing!
