Check out: Starbucks vs. Red Bull

As a regular coffee drinker, this was pretty startling...

I think the point of Red Bull is not just caffeine, but all the sugars and vitamins in it. Combined that is supposed to give you a kick.

Um.. 550? That's kinda high.

Starbucks must be banking on the theory that the people who buy its coffee don't just need coffee, they need Starbucks coffee, which packs a higher caffeine punch than many competitors. The Wall Street Journal earlier this year sent samples of coffee from Starbucks, 7-Eleven, and Dunkin' Donuts to Central Analytical Laboratories. The lab reported that a 16-ounce Starbucks house blend coffee contained 223 milligrams of caffeine, compared with 174 and 141 milligrams in comparable amounts of Dunkin' Donuts and 7-Eleven coffee, respectively. According to the Journal, the average Starbucks coffee drink contains 320 milligrams of caffeine. (This chart from the Center for Science in the Public Interest shows different measurement levels, including the scary finding that a 16-ounce Starbucks grande has nearly three times as much caffeine as a No-Doz.)

that slate article states 223. which is still ~4 cans of redbull.

Caffeine only though
Not including all that other stuff they put into redbull

what else do they put in it
caffeine sucks..

 

[myusername]

ounce per ounce, it's only like twice as strong as redbull though. I don't think I could drink 7 cans of red bull - or a whole grande coffee - for breakfast

I also like energy drink flavor better than coffee.

Maybe I should buy caffeine pills to drop into my morning "Adrenaline Rush"?

Do caffiene pills dissolve easily in cold water?

Starbucks = RJ Reynolds

Just different drug.
