Mt. Dew, up until about a year ago, had the highest amount of caffine of any soda on the market. My son used to use it when studing all night for a test. There is another soda with higher caffine now, called (I think) Boost, or something like that. Possibly the increased caffine in the Mt. Dew is what is getting you going.
