US site again, but the mg amount is almost the same as in Canada for the "Citrus Charge" MD:

click [Compare] and see how terribad MONSTER is vs even Red Bull

and of course, ugh:

5 Hour Energy <http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/5-hour-energy>    2   200   100.0   

vs.

Mountain Dew <http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/mountain-dew>    12   54   4.5   

(those columns are { ProductName , fluid ounces , caffeine in mg , caffeine/fl.oz } )


yes folks, the 5HE is about 22 times the caffeine-per-volume as The Dew! If it was a normal 12 fl.oz (355ml) can it would contain 1200mg (vs the 54mg Mountain Dew) of artificial stimulant. Hope your heart can take it!
