i typically just look at ingredients - or when in doubt - go for clear or fruit-like beverages - except mountain dew and surge or whatnot.

Many (maybe even most) orange-flavored sodas in the US are caffeinated. And yes, I found this out the hard way (I have chronic insomnia and avoid caffeine as much as possible - except for chocolate, I love chocolate).

I'm originally from Canada, where it seems far fewer soft drinks have added caffeine - even Canadian Mountain Dew is uncaffeinated (leading many a surprised American visitor to ask "Then what's the point?"
