Why Have I Been Drinking MCD Coffee?

Why have I been drinking McDonald’s coffee? I don’t do it often, and I don’t really do it for the taste. Every once in a while, my wife will be ordering breakfast there so I get a coffee. Turns out, maybe I shouldn’t have bothered.

I just saw these stats on caffeine in various products. A 16oz McDonald’s coffee was found to usually have about 145 milligrams of caffeine. Sounds good, right? Well, the same size at Starbucks had 330 milligrams.

What the heck have I been doing?

I drink Starbucks too, and again not for the taste. It’s kind of overburned, but I’m usually drinking mainly to wake up. I need that caffeine…and I don’t have time to drink two or more cups of coffee to come up to the same caffeinated level. That MCD coffee is bullcrap.

CAFFEINE!!!!!

Oh yeah, all you Dunkin’ Donuts coffee fans? Yeah, forget you guys too. 206 milligrams for a 16oz coffee may beat MCD, but it’s nowhere near enough. Even Jolt and Mountain Dew fall way behind. Starbucks may not be my favorite taste, but I can trust them to give me the wake up I need.

Man, they out to have warnings about this. I’m sure they’re trying to scare us with the caffeine levels, but it had the opposite effect on me. I’m going where the caffeine is.
