My mom and her "cranky old man" drove to Gettysburg last week to tour and such.
They stop at a Starbucks in Gettysburg and "cranky" doesn't like/can't handle caffeine after a certain time of day so he asks mom if she can get him a fruit tea or similar. So she gets to the counter and, being unfamiliar with the menu, asks the cashier if they have any teas/drinks with no caffeine.
The cashier looks at her for about 3 seconds, and answers: "Nothing has caffeine, but we can add that in for you."
Cue mom's brain screeching to a halt and then her trying to explain to three workers (who all look the same) that caffeine is a naturally occurring substance and exists in all coffee and teas except herbal and fruit-based. I don't think she was successful.
Adding pure caffeine the same way they'd add a flavoring would probably kill someone.
