My mother once told me an interesting story about the high concentration of
caffeine in Mello Yello. You see my mother works as a guidance counselor at a
high school and one day a student was sent to the principal's office for "acting weird or
drunken and drinking in class". The can of Mello Yello that the student was drinking was sent to a
police officer at the school who promptly tested it to see if there had been any added
alcohol. He reported later that the tests were positive, but then a
science teacher pointed out that the high caffeine level had probably effected the test. The student was deemed innocent but given a
detention for disturbing class and the drinking of beverages during class.

I liked my writeup so I decided to move it to this node. If there is a problem with this I hope some mod would tell me and I'll promptly request to have it deleted.
