To be precise, it's a Tim Hortons coffee with two cream and two sugar. Only in Canada, eh.

That's right - because if you're in the land of "In-N-Out Burgers" a "double double" is a double meat, double cheese burger.

Now THERE'S an addiction to rival the kilt addiction! (And cheaper, too!)

Regular Mountain Dew has caffeine. I'm drinking some now, it's listed in the ingredients.

OK before we add to the "Canadian Stereotype" as being a bunch of maple syrup covered back bacon eating, double/double drinkers that live in igloos. May I say that this Canadian, even though I drink my Timmies by the litre, does not drink it double/double. I enjoy my coffee like I enjoy my women - cold & bitter. This is not to say that my missus is cold. Although my A/C does tend to break down at the mere presence of the competition. Furthermore I do not pour maple syrup on my back bacon because I've run out and cannot tap my maple tree for another two weeks!

I suggest that you read the label on a can of Mountain Dew or Energy, whatever they're calling it now. It say's that it is not recommended for children and that adults should limit themselves to no more than two a day. I'd say that there is caffeine in there and more.

I once drank a six pack of those Sobe No Fear Energy Drinks.

In the US it's the most caffeinated soda on the market, save something like Jolt (tm) cola which touts itself as having "all the sugar and twice the caffeine". Jolt indeed. I became a big fan of Diet Mountain Dew and started having headaches - caffeine was the reason.

(Cold and Bitter. Still giggling.)
