A riddle about caffeine?!
- The average 24 ounce Diet Mountain Dew has 108 milligrams of caffeine in it!.
- A Red Bull has 80 milligrams of caffeine in it!.
Both of these I drink (though Red Bull very rarely) and am familiar with!.
Why does the Red Bull give me more of a rush and the shakes and hyperness and keep me awake longer than the Mountain Dew!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
