So, this is very random...I've never been a huge soda drinker, but ever since I've gotten pregnant, I crave coke slurpees like there's no tomorrow!!! I know the rules are to keep caffeine under 200 mg per day...but does anyone know how much caffeine is in a slurpee? I don't get the biggest one usually, but I don't typically get the smallest one either...

Nutritional Information For a Coke Slurpee: (355mL/12Oz Slurpee)
Calories: 177

Caffeine: 56mg
Sugar: 34g
Fat: none
I was thinking to myself, oh thats not that much, but then I noticed its only 12oz. Is that kid sized or what? A usual one is at least 24oz right?
YES...I am in the same boat. I am in sales so I drive A LOT during the day...I have purchased waaaay too many slurpees lately. What kind of sales do you do?
On the bright side, apparently you can have a 36 oz slurpee and still be under the 200 mg caffeine mark for the day. Yeah!!! Now if only they were calorie free, too....le sigh...
So I actually just did some research (which I probably should've just done in the first place) b/c the caffeine content seemed a little high in the first posted statistics. Anyway, per the website www.slurpee.com, an 8 oz coke slurpee has only 15 mg of caffeine. Now, I realize that most people would drink a larger size than this...but the bottom line is you'd have to drink 106.4 ounces of slurpee to hit 200 mg.
