2L in 100miles. To the gas station on I-95... Sorry...

Blame it on this delicious poison.

FP edit: First time here. This was... unexpected.

If you're from Canada, we used to have Mello Yellow available but like many junk food flavours, it just ceased to be.

I thought all soda had Caffeine?

Nope. Not even close to all.

That's probably because of the sweeteners though, those cause diarrhea when ingested in large amounts.

I'd blame 2 litres of HFCS rather than the caffeine

Fun fact: It has orange juice in it. Fun fact 2: Its where Pepsi got Mountain Dew from. Which also has OJ in it.

it is like fizzy medicine because one of the original ingredients is sassafras root (hence root beer).

Does caffeine really make you poop?

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Because coffee makes you poop people associate the affect with caffeine but caffeine is not the cause. Decaf will cause you to poop as well.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I thought so, because caffeine is a diuretic which makes you retain water, not poop it all out.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Caffeine is a stimulant, and can have that effect yes.

Be advised, some root beer has caffeine added. Also, there are few things better than root beer and birch beer.

Doesn't all pop in the US have caffeine added? In Canada the clear ones are all caffeine-free.

No, your "all the clear ones" guideline is pretty good, tho afaik orange soda is never clear, but never caffeinated.

Have a look at that Sunkist Orange lable, caffeine is included.

True, the clear ones and probably the majority of the "fruit" ones, including grape and orange.

Mellow yellow is a lemon lime, so the "fruit" exception true of things like sprite would be a bad assumption, here

No I mean fruit as in "grape" or "orange". See Fanta, etc. Nobody really considered Mellow Yellow or Mountain Dew as "fruit soda"
