Energised?? Did I ask you to spike my drink?

Sooooo annoyed - I'm not usually a soft drink drinker but yesterday it was hot, i was thirsty and so I decided to grab one out of the fridge. Now usually I would have a good old ginger beer but there was a mountain dew in there so I grabbed it for a change. 

A couple of sips in I decided it wasn't really what I wanted after all (should have stuck with water!) and I put it aside. 

Later in it caught my eye - not because I wanted to drink it but because I wondered what it meant by 'energised' 

To my horror I discovered that Mountain Dew now contained caffeine! And not just a little bit, I had basically had a few sips of an energy drink!  



It even comes with a warning that pregnant and lactating women should not drink. 

I am so cranky! I don't even drink coffee while feeding Matilda, what gives a soft drink company the right to spike my drink with caffeine and then not warn me when it's purchased.

So that's my rant. Next time I'll be checking the label before I drink!
