I agree with Davids response, I don't drink much of it because of the taste...although I do like the Diet Mt. Dew. It is the only diet soda that doesn't taste so "diety" (if that is even a word) I knew I didn’t like chocolate for a reason.

Milk Chocolate has 6mg of Caffeine per oz. while Dark Chocolate as 20mg per oz. Coke has 2.83mg of Caffeine per oz. Chocolate seems to have twice as much caffeine per oz. then Coke. (Mt. Dew only has 4.5 oz of Caffeine per oz. still lower the chocolate) It appears to me that we consume more caffeine in our chocolate then soda, especially when we eat more then 1 oz of chocolate per setting. How do we as LDS argue the consumption of Chocolate over coke? I know we as LDS debate Caffeine in Soda, but what about other products like Chocolate.

While I no longer strictly abstain from caffeinated sodas (I accept if it's offered to me) I prefer non-caffeinated sodas, fruit juices, etc. David, I think I share your ‘preferential’ approach, if you would call it that.
