Customers in the store.
I approached customers who were drinking the same size (14oz) drink as I was holding, I asked these customers how many of these drinks they have per day. A common answers I received were "3-4 cups a day."".
I then asked if they always drank it in these larger cups? "Yes- they replied and one guy even told me about a much larger mug he has that he refills twice a day at 7-11. I inquired about it's actual size and he told me "twice the size of this one- he was referring to the 14oz cup.
I went to 7-11 and purchased one of these mugs. It is actually a 24oz mug. That equates to 400mg of caffeine per mug.
The Math.
14oz x 4 = 56oz.
56oz 6oz (normal cup) = 9.3 cups.
9.3 x 100mg = 930mg a day .
That doesn't include:.
Any extra shots.
Any medications.
Any candy .
Any soft drinks.
That is over three times the "normal- safe amount just from the coffee.
