The caffeine per ounce is simple math on the label numbers (200mg divided by the can size). The total in one can is the same 200mg for both.
Which Has More Caffeine?
Neither wins on the can: both list 200mg. Alani Nu is stronger per ounce because the can is smaller, while GHOST gives you more drink for the same caffeine. If you sip slowly, the bigger GHOST can may feel milder. Read the full numbers in our GHOST caffeine guide and the Alani Nu caffeine guide. The FDA suggests most healthy adults keep total daily caffeine to about 400mg, so two cans of either is already the limit.
Which Flavors Are Better?
Taste is personal, and we do not have tasting scores to rank them, so here is how to choose by style. If you like sour candy, start with GHOST Warheads or Sour Strips Rainbow. If you like fruity or dessert-style flavors, start with Alani Nu Purple Cotton Candy or Strawberry Sunrise. If you cannot decide, a variety pack from either brand is the cheapest way to sample.
