Caffeine and other contents: About 140 mg per 16 ounce can. That’s 60 mg more caffeine than an 8 ounce Red Bull. The product is supposed to contain half the caffeine of a cup of coffee, but seems about the same.

Caffeine kick: Pretty intense. The rush is a combination caffeine/sugar rush that lasts a good hour or so after consumption.
