In a recent interview with Variety around the Toronto International Film Festival debut of the short film she recently directed, Loser Baby, Dakota revealed that she discovered Celsius energy drinks while making the short.

She told the publication she "discovered" the drink on the first day of shooting. "I didn’t know that it was Red Bull,” Dakota admitted.

Dakota went on to say that she initially believed the drink was "just vitamins" and a “natural drink” because the can's nutritional facts says it has “B12 and vitamin A.”

“I was like, ‘I'm so inspired. I'm awake all night long,'" she recalled, conceding that she was "not sleeping" due to the fact that she was consuming "like, two Celsius a day.”

A 12-ounce can of Celsius usually contains from 200–300 milligrams of caffeine, BTW. In comparison, an 8-ounce cup of coffee typically contains around 90 mg.
