Mountain Dew

Mountain Dew has more caffeine than most sodas — about 54mg per 12oz can. It's still manageable within the 300mg/day limit, but it's on the higher end for colas. If you're a Mountain Dew fan, just factor it into your total count.

Up to 300mg caffeine/day total (~54mg per 12oz can)
With 54mg per can, Mountain Dew has roughly 50% more caffeine than Coke or Pepsi. A couple of cans a day combined with a morning coffee could get you close to the 300mg threshold. Like other sodas, the sugar content (46g per 12oz) is also worth considering for overall nutrition.
