Well, it seems that may change.

You know how Canadian Mountain Dew has no caffeine?

Well since they are still using sugar and not HFCS they won't get as fat.
Some arcane law that disallows caffeine in carbonated drinks that aren't dark.
Companies had been loopholing around it by claiming their drinks as "natural health products" like energy drinks and the like. So we had, I believe, Mountain Dew SPORT! and the like for a while.

Ditto. *Insert obligatory "Why would someone drink it without caffeine?" joke*
Kidding, I'd drink Mt. Dew without the caffeine. I can't have any caffeine at all, not even decaf tea, because even small amounts throw me for a loop. Not sure why.

Usually I completely agree, but there are some days when I really want one. I can never drink more than 1/4 of a can, though. It's too syrupy.

HOORAY! Now Mountain Dew doesn't taste like flavoured water!
I remember hearing about caffeine-free Dew when I was in my early 20's from a London, Ontario nurse. I was appalled. Now, that I primarily drink coffee and tea, I couldn't care less if soda had caffeine or not.

It might have just been called something differeny there, but here it was "Mountain Dew FUEL", then just "Dew Fuel", and I think now its just called "Mountain Dew Energy".
All moot now, I guess.
I had a friend in Scouts with a kidney problem, couldn't drink caffeine. Love Sprite and 7Up though. I wonder what he'll do now.
Whay doesn't he drink Sprite and 7Up?
Now Canada can boldly join the ranks of civilized nations, and drink their nerd fuel with pride.

LOL. while I LOVE my mt. Dew and my Throwback Mt. Dew (even more!) I have to giggle with Morphine on a health department promoting unhealthy drink.

No, you have the names right. I couldn't remember the names since I never drank them.

Because the American versions actually do have some caffeine in them (Unless something has changed since 2001. I remember seeing a news report on it, and actually remember what year it was because it was right before I went on a road trip with the Scouts to PEI) , and now Health Canada is allowing caffeine in all carbonated beverages, so that's bound to happen.

7Up and Sprite have CAFFEINE in the US?
I've been living in the wrong country all these years...
Of course, if I lived in the US, instead of being just relatively unfit, overweight and with a mild addiction to caffeine, I'd probably have died from a heart attack thanks to my unlimited love for unhealthy food and caffeinated beverages.

Sprite and 7up don't have caffeine in the states.
As for Rootbeer, watch out for Barques. It has bite. actually caffeine
Caffeine junkies.

I agree. A+W is good, but it's a little sweeter than Barq's. Barq's ...I hate to take a cue from their ads... but it really does have more of a "bite" to it, according to my taste buds, anyway. Not that I'd turn down A+W. Root beer is my favorite soda lately.
