    That’s 1/3 less caffeine than in a 16oz iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts, and a large is 32oz.

    I’m not arguing to give large coffees to 8 year olds but rather that this isn’t as much caffeine as people think it is

      One argument I could see is that energy drinks are super sweet and sugary (not to mention cheeper) and on top of that they have bunch of cool flavors. While coffee is more off-putting

      Coffee is ilegal for children in most countries, so thease should be as well, but you have a point.
