But there is usually caffeine in soda.

Cola and Mountain Dew impersonators, yes. Not in Lemon-Lime sodas or ginger ales. But the question was about sugar, not caffeine.

The comment you were replying to said "sugar or caffine"

Cool to know about the sugar high though. I think that's a common misconception.

Fair enough, thanks for pointing that out! The main question was about sugar though so that's why I stuck to that. I think most people are familiar with caffeine being a stimulant ;)
