Bai Antioxidant Infusion vs Pepsi: which has more caffeine?

Bai Antioxidant Infusion carries more total caffeine per serving (55mg per 18 oz bottle vs 38mg per 12 oz can), but ounce for ounce Pepsi is actually the stronger drink at about 3mg per fluid ounce against 3. Which one "has more caffeine" depends on whether you measure the container or the concentration.

Bai Antioxidant Infusion vs Pepsi: the numbers

Bai Antioxidant Infusion Pepsi
Caffeine per serving 55mg per 18 oz bottle 38mg per 12 oz can
Caffeine per fl oz 3.1mg 3.2mg
Servings to reach 400mg (FDA context) 7.3 10.5

Sources: Bai Antioxidant Infusion's figure is verified in our Bai Antioxidant Infusion caffeine guide against Caffeine Informer (source); Pepsi's figure is verified in our Pepsi guide against Caffeine Informer (source).

Which one should you pick?

Pick Pepsi when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and Bai Antioxidant Infusion when you actually need the bigger hit and know your tolerance. If you are stacking either with other caffeinated drinks through the day, run the math against the 400mg reference rather than guessing.

For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. Tolerance and health vary, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
