That's the only place I've seen it. But, more specificially, on the BYU campus in Provo is the only place I've seen it.
In the meantime, if you're looking for suggestions on places to eat while you're in UT, let me know.
Mountain Dew doesn't have caffeine in Canada.
It's not just caffeine though. Some contain Guarana, Taurine, specialised sugars, isotonic stuff...
Re: Dr. Pepper. There's something in that that really gives me a kick. Sometimes comparable to a proper energy drink. Must be sensitive to something in there
True, it's not just caffeine, but those things are mostly caffeine...
which is just weird and i never understood. i thought that was the point of Mountain Dew
Rockstar (regular), Monster Assault, or regular Monster or Lost Energy.
Thing is, Rockstar, regular Monster, and Lost all have the same flavor. I know Lost and Monster are made by the same company, and Rockstar could be too.
I used to drink Full Throttle, but have since lost the acquired taste I had for it.

does coffee count? i really don't like energy drinks, and i'll take any coffee blend or coffee derivative any day.
Amp, Jolt or Full Throttle, although those are most of the ones i have tried
Jolt tastes the most like soda, so i like it the best
I had Bawls and Red Bull once, didn't care for either of them

I don't drink energy drinks all that often, but my new favourite is Mother by Coca Cola. It doesn't have the same guaranaree taste as Red Bull or V but no one else seems to like it.
I have always found it interesting that they call sugar-free red bull an "energy" drink when energy comes from calories and this drink doesn't have any.
Taurine and Caffeine still provide energy. I think energy drinks get most of their kick from these ingredients, not from sugar neccesarily.
Actually the body does not use taurine of caffeine as energy sources. They might chemically reduce muscle fatigue or create a sense of alertness, but they are not sources of energy.
Our bodies get energy from carbohydrates (4 calories of energy per gram), proteins (4 calories of energy per gram), fats (9 calories of energy per gram), and alcohol (7 calories of energy per gram)
It would be better to call these stimulant drinks.
I remember back when All-sport energy drink first came out they had a commercial that boasted 20% more carbs than gatorade. This was of course before the low-carb diet craze swept across america. They were providing 20% more calories than gatorade and all of those calories came from added sugar. They could have accurately stated that their drink provide 20% more energy than gatorade as well.
Only if tasty = gross.
Either that or maybe I shouldn't have used Guiness to mix it with.
