I know caffiene isn't like alchohol -- but I believe products containing it have to say so somewhere on the container via law. Yes, raw chocolate contains caffiene -- but it's extracted before they make stuff like Hershey's, just like they extract the cocoa butter. Yes, the most popular soft drinks contain it -- but I haven't had any more than one sip of a regular Pepsi, and half a can of Sunkist that I can remember. I stick to stuff like Sprite or Fanta or A&W.
It's not addictive or dangerous, but studies have shown that in younger kids, it can cause growth issues, so I didn't drink it then. For the past few years now I have insomnia issues -- why be more awake?
