Does coffee-flavored ice cream have caffeine?

[240 is Back]

 Q. In the summer,  I often enjoy a scoop of light ice cream in the evening and coffee is one of my favorite flavors.  My husband claims that a serving of coffee ice cream is the equivalent of having a cup of coffee after dinner, in terms of caffeine. (I don't drink caffeine in the evenings so that it doesn't keep me up.)  Is he right?

A. He's right.  A serving of coffee ice cream can contain 40 to 75mg of caffeine, or about as much as a shot of espresso. If you are sensitive to caffeine, this could indeed be enough to disrupt your sleep patterns.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest has posted a very helpful chart of caffeine amounts for many popular foods and beverages on their website. Other "eye-openers" include:

Starbucks Tazo Chai Tea Latte = 100mg

Monster Energy drink = 160mg

Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch Ice Cream = 84mg

Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Bar = 31mg

If these numbers seem high to you, note that the CSPI measured the amounts of caffeine found in the amounts of these products that are commonly consumed, as opposed to the sometimes delusional "serving sizes" printed on the package. For example, how many people do you know who split those 20oz bottles of soda three ways? Or eat just 1/2 cup of ice cream?

Haha.  I just kicked her out.  Told her I had to get to bed, then I came to Getbig.  I am the master of my fate!!

And yes.  I'd hit that tub of ice cream like a thick late 30s woman who I never had to see again.

Just curios if anyone else around here takes caffeine pills? My normal dose is around 400-600mg twice a day, is that too much?

Only thing I'm getting is tired of the knocking on my door.  Webcke's advice might not be so bad.
