Just a couple of years before hitting the big 50. Waking up at 0400 to be at work at 0600, it's just not as easy when I was in my 20s. Never became a coffee drinker, nor jumped into the energy drink craze. Always been a lifelong Pepsi drinker. What did I just discover that will wake me up beyond description.
COKE!!!!!
I get a 1 liter bottle of coke from the c-store at 0500 and man, I don't get the drowsiness.

Wait, you get in by the BOTTLE?
*sniff*
:bolt:

Pepsi is artificial cola, coke uses real cola.

Both flavors use HFCS instead of natural sugar. If you insist on drinking soda then you might consider buying Mexican coke instead. HFCS is a Frankenstein sugar. Europe, for one, has already banned HFCS as has most of Asia where the battle is still ongoing. It's just a matter of time before HFCS impacts your health this late in life.

Yup, its nasty stuff from what I have read about it. :aok

You have empirical data to support that?

Well the coca cola recipe is a trade secret but. There is only one company in the USA that processes coca leaves. They extract the cocaine for pharmaceutical purposes and they sell the leaves to coca cola.
If you're looking for high caffeine content and you don't mind loosing teeth (google Mountain Dew mouth) mountain dew has the highest caffeine of all the mainstream pop.
-
they don't use coca leaf and haven't for decades. One of the company heirs released the original formula a few years back, as well as the last formula to use bittering and real cane sugar (unprocessed). Someone made a YT video about it. You will not believe how much sugar went into it.
One of the only reasons that they use HFCS is the high cost of sugar (which is protected under U.S. law). HFCS also allows them to use more salt, which causes you to drink more in the never ending cycle of cravings.

Get some caffeine tablets and crush them up into a fine powder and stir it into the coke.
DONT snort it.

You sure about that? A quick search lead me to a few articles stating that Stepan was still supplying Coca~Cola with leaves into the 2000s.

Yes. They use a different bittering agent, which comes from caffeine of the coffee plant instead of cocaine hydrochloride of the coca plant.
Reddit is a great source of bad information. Same as Wikipedia.

I think you've got your ingredients swapped around in your mindbrain.
They both use Cola (Kola) nut extract which is high in caffeine. Pepsi was primarily made from Pepsin + Cola because it was invented by a pharmacist back when pharmacies had soda fountains. Pepsin aids with digestion & Pepsi was initended to be a healthy drink.
Coke was made from Coca leaves & Kola nut extract.

if you want to make 70 get off all soda pop now. the sugar will kill you.

Not just reddit, ny times, fox, wiki..How do you know that they stopped using coca leaves decades ago? When did they stop? I’m pretty sure both Pepsi and coke no longer use kola nut.
