I've often wondered what the caffeine content was of some products, so when I found this list I decided to post it.
CAFFEINE CONTENT: coffee, tea, soda and more
By Mayo Clinic staff
Do you know the caffeine content of your favorite beverages? And did you know that some sweets and even over-the-counter medications have caffeine? You may want to take a closer look at just how much caffeine you get in a typical day, especially if you're bothered by headaches, restlessness or anxiety. If your caffeine habit totals more than 500 to 600 milligrams a day, you may want to consider cutting back.
One note about the numbers: Use them as a guide.
The actual caffeine content of the same coffee drink can vary from day to day — even at the same coffee shop — because of factors such as roasting and grinding, as well as brewing time.
