"Until recently, Mountain Dew in Canada was caffeine-free, which would make it virtually useless to Devoted Husband, who prefers his morning Dew as a pick-me-up rather than the more traditional black coffee. Canada has regulations on ..." - Glog...

His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of others, to do so would be wise, or even right.

I think the company might be sued to hell and back because if you are offering a product with lots of caffeine and sugar to the point it wreaks havoc with your system it's going to get noticed with the lawyers. If they sell it in two liter bottles, that probably will be seen in court some day. Good catch!
Remember Jolt Cola? Twice the caffeine and all that! Pulled from the market I think.
