Sugar and Caffeine

I drove to Virginia this weekend for Mother's Day after a hectic work week without much sleep. To combat the fatigue and remain semi-social, I tried a few 5 Hour Energies for the first time. They worked as claimed, inspiring me to research the ingredients and sugar/caffeine content of other options.

I found, among other things, that different flavors of Mt Dew have different amounts of caffeine, and that 5 Hour Energy does have caffeine, but the exact amount is masked by amino acids.

4. Caffeine to be disclosed on labels?
