Caffeine

We wish there was a simple answer as to which drink has more caffeine. The truth is that it depends on a few factors. On average though, a cup of coffee will have more caffeine in it than a same-sized cup of tea.

There’s also absolutely the placebo effect that happens when you drink coffee, just thinking that it has more caffeine in it than tea will likely give you a bigger boost than a cup of tea will.

While eggs and butter were elusive or costly, Campbell’s canned soup provided a readily available and affordable alternative. The cake’s unique taste captivated palates and transcended the era, finding a place in the kitchen of celebrated poet Sylvia Plath.
