Caffeine Rush... Can you take it?

I was looking up for caffeine content in drinks, trying to find the name of the tea that has really super high caffeine. Instead, I found some drinks that would literally knock your socks off, if not cause a stroke.

Coca-Cola: 2.88 mg caffeine per ounce (good baseline)
Pepsi: 3.17mg/oz... yet another reason why Pepsi is better than Coke.
Mountain Dew: 4.58mg/oz... weak!
Red Bull: 9.64mg/oz... meh...
Monster: 10mg/oz... boring
Rockstar: 10mg/oz... yawn
Jolt: 11.91mg/oz... actually weaker than coffee

Regular brewed coffee: 13.44mg/oz
Starbucks Doubleshot: 20mg/oz
Wired: 21.5mg/oz
Spike Shooter: 35.71mg/oz
Espresso: 55.44mg/oz

Here are the fun ones:

Boo-Koo - 15mg/oz, but one of the highest caffeine amounts per can (it's a big can, 360mg for the whole thing... weeee)

Fuel Cell - 90mg/oz, pure caffeine... with Splenda!

Mana Energy Potion - 118.52mg/oz, plus you'll have Zelda's theme song in your head all day.

Redline Power Rush- 140mg/oz, must be over 18... nice when your energy drink is like an R-rated movie.

Ammo - 171mg/oz... "We do not support or recommend you being an idiot and drinking this straight"... so why sell it that way?

Fixx Extreme 5ml - 400mg of weeeee (I loved reading this review, too. I think the writer was still on a buzz).
The energy drink version of this is now discontinued. I wonder why!!!
I read a review that 2 drinks can kill a 15-year-old kid, and it also tastes like crap. No duh! Concentrate liquid caffeine isn't meant to taste like Hawaiian Punch.

And here's the one that left my jaw dropped:

Fixx - 2352.94mg/oz... omg!!!
This comes in a small package. 0.17 oz, 400mg of caffeine in the package... it'll give you wings, alright!
It's like... a gel... thing... stuff. Apparently doesn't taste half bad. One reviewer suggested, if you're used to "only" Red Bull, Rockstar, and Monster, take only half a package.
