A 12oz Dr. Pepper (42mg of caffeine) has more caffeine than a 12oz Pepsi (38mg of caffeine)- A Hershey's Dark Chocolate bar (31mg of caffeine) has almost as much caffeine as a 12 oz coke (35mg of caffeine).
- A Spike Shooter (300mg) has more caffeine than cocaine (288mg)
- A cup of hot cocoa has approximately the same amount of caffeine as a Hershey's Kiss (between 9-13mg)
- Extra strength Excedrin has 130mg
