Culture Pop vs coffee and espresso

Why it has no caffeine

Caffeine in soda is an additive, not something inherent to carbonated drinks, and plenty of formulas simply leave it out. Culture Pop is one of them: the published figure is a flat zero. The practical upshot is that it works as an evening drink or a caffeine-cutback swap where a cola would keep the count climbing.

The mistake to avoid is reading caffeine-free as a blanket health claim. It says nothing about sugar or anything else on the label; it only means the drink adds 0mg to your daily caffeine total.
