What has more caffeine: coffiee or soda?

kind of a s/o: I don't really see a reason to give coffee to a young child or even a teenager (unless they are asking for it). I do remember having a Mountain Dew every day in highschool though.

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was well into my 20's. Never needed that "pick me up" I guess (not from coffee anyway).

mountain dew has the highest amount of caffeine.

coffee has more than most sodas, but mountain dew has a ton.

coffee definitely has more.  Soda has roughly 30 mg of caffeine and I believe a cup of coffee has at least 70 mg. 

I know 2-3 cups of coffee while pg is equal to like 8 CANS of soda.

Coffee.

Coffee has about 100-150 mg. of caffeine in 8 oz.

Mt. Dew has about 50 mg. in 12 oz.

coffee has ~100 mg per 6oz cup
espresso has ~70mg per serving (2-3oz?)
12oz can soda has ~35-45mg

I *may* have done a bit of caffeine research while I was pg with DD.

i know you didn't ask about chocolate but i was on the 1st tri board last night and girls were feeling guilty about chocolate or cocoa.  No need...it's got between 1-15 mg per serving.  doesn't even count in my book
