Do you know your caffeine intake?

March 7th, 2010 by brad

Wisebread had a good post on the amount of caffeine you can find in common drinks and foods. Of course coffee has a lot, but how much more than an espresso? How about a chocolate bar?  They got a lot of their information from an article at the Mayo Clinic.

The Washington Post has a new feature that’s kind of cool, although it’s not that much different than Google Local.  It looks to be a little bit more tailored to local area themes such as crime rates, schools and housing prices.  But the other capabilities, such as restaurants, grocery stores and other commercial facilities don’t seem to have too much more.  Still worth a look though.
