New Year's resolutions have been the hot topic around the Buzz water cooler lately. One slow-moving colleague of ours mentioned giving up caffeine, and we were shocked. We have neither the will nor the willpower to attempt such a feat. You'll have to pry our three-times-daily quadruple-hammerheads from our cold -- yet shaking -- dead hands. We don't call it the Buzz for nothing.

Whether it's in pills, drinks, mints, or even bath soap, caffeine seems to be a popular and thriving commodity. And it works. But how does it stack up in Search? Searches for "caffeine" have gone down 30% over the last month. Does that mean you're all on an anti-caffeine kick too? We give you til February. In the meantime, here are a few of the top "caffeine" searches...

  1. Caffeine
  2. Effects of Caffeine
  3. Caffeine and Pregnancy
  4. Caffeine Withdrawal
  5. Caffeine Content
  1. Caffeine Pills
  2. Caffeine Addiction
  3. Caffeine Side Effects
  4. Caffeine and Chocolate
  5. Caffeine Allergy
