Answer: No. Hi-C Fruit Punch is marketed as a caffeine-free beverage.8
3. What is the main sweetener used in the Waffle House Hi-C?

Answer: No. Hi-C is legally defined as a fruit drink or fruit-flavored drink, not 100% juice. It contains a percentage of fruit juice (from concentrate) but is mostly water and sweeteners, which is why it is much higher in sugar than pure juice.
