True. I was thinking that this would only be for bulk use - e.g. to
caffeinate one of Miloh's 4 gallon drums of sudo pop to the level of
Red Bull would require around:

10 mg/oz * 512 oz / gal = 5.12 grams caffeine / 1.23 g/cm^3 * 0.202
teaspoons / cm^3 = 0.84 teaspoons ~= 7/8 teaspoon. That's not hard to
measure.

One can go up to ~3-10x that for really strong stuff (as in one shot
servings) - see http://www.energyfiend.com/huge-caffeine-database for
comparisons.

I certainly wouldn't want to do it in single servings though. :-P
