The funny thing is that if you asked people how much caffeine is in a cup of coffee vs a can of redbull I'd bet a lot of people would say the redbull. But a single cup of coffee actually has, on average, maybe twice as much caffeine. People don't realize how much caffeine coffee has, it's a ridiculous amount. Pretty much the only beverages you can get at starbucks that has significantly less caffeine than an 8oz redbull are the teas, hot chocolate, smoothies, and decaf.
- Xixi 11y agoI think people underestimate even more the amount of caffeine in green tea. Some kind of green teas, especially the like of Kabusecha/Gyokuro, have way more caffeine than coffee. Up to three times as much in a cup of tea than in an expresso in the case of Gyokuro...
- CptJamesCook 11y agoIn addition to 80 mgs of caffeine, a redbull has 1000 mgs of a stimulant called taurine.
- InclinedPlane 11y agoTaurine is not a stimulant. Unless you have some research to prove otherwise?
- CptJamesCook 11y agoIt is a stimulant biologically. Stimulants are labelled based on effects, not chemical structure. Based on increases in neurotransmitter activity, heart rate, and dozens of other measures, taurine is a stimulant.
