I am wondering if Sprite (not only Coke) has caffeine in it as well. There was a time when i drank it, i had a hard time sleeping. today, i drank it and i "urinated a lot. i have tried to look at the contents but there is no caffeine written there. But honestly, dont the symptoms speak for themselves? I also have heard speculaion that Sprite does contain caffeine.
So can anyone enlighten me?

Sprite doesn't have caffeine. I would know because my sister is highly sensitive to caffeine and she wouldn't be able to sleep for a week if she had a cup of coffee one morning. She could drink sprite at night and wouldn't have problem sleeping later. Maybe you urinated a lot because you drank a lot? Or maybe because of the temperature of the place you were in at the time? People tend to pee more in cold places. I don't know how "normal" people are affected by caffeine but because of a minor heart condition, I palpitate when I drink/eat stuff with caffeine :) Sprite is safe.
Thanks for the response on my discussion!

Sprite does not have caffeine but it fortified with sugar so I try to limit even sprite and caffeine free drinks because I usually consume them in the evening and I usually have trouble sleeping and I feel terrible and really tired the next moring so it is best to stick with water or decaf tea with a little honey or milk .

No, Sprite does not have caffeine. I have a heart condition that does not allow me to drink anything with caffeine in it and I do drink Sprite occassionally. I prefer Sierra Mist though.
Watch out for that Sunkist Orange though as it does have caffeine. It is also made by Coke products. I had a really bad few days after drinking the Sunkist not realizing that it had caffeine. I didn't know any orange pop (soda) had caffeine so I didn't even check the ingredients.

thanks for the info, because of your experience i already know that there is no caffeine in sprite.
anyway, even here in the philippines, an orange pop soda named Royal is also filled with caffeine. I think, so does Mountain Dew.

I dont think sprite has any caffeine in it. It does have lots and lots of sugar and empty calories so if you have a weight gain problem that you gain easily then you need to be careful of it . And all the calories you get from the carbonated drinks are empty calories meaning you dont get any energy from these calories but they add to your weight.
