Does it? Mountain dew has like 50-60mg of caffeine per 12 oz can, where an average 8oz cup of coffee can have somewhere in the 75-100mg range. A standard double shot espresso drink will have anywhere from 75-150mg.
Also, I don’t think the caffeine content is the thing to worry about at any rate, I’m more concerned with the 46g of sugar per can.
I may be wrong, and talking out of my ass, but I know it has a lot of caffeine.
Anecdote warning: I, due to my autism, get fixated on certain foods, hobbies, whatever, etc. On a job I worked, I decided I liked Mountain Dew for 4 or 5 days, and “wore it out” in American Southern parlance, and then abandoned it. A day later, I noticed I got a headache around 2 PM everyday, for 2 or 3 days.
I said to my coworker in the truck “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, do I have a brain tumor or am I about to have a stroke?”
She said “It’s those fucking Mountain Dews you drank for days. They’re loaded with caffeine.”
I’ve avoided them since. But the Code Red Mountain Dews are delicious.

Fwiw… Mt Dew Zero has 68mg/12oz. I think regular and diet are 55ish.
