So, that is a ton of caffeine, but if you have a heart condition you really should be more careful about that shit.
I get what you're saying, but, for me, it would never even cross my mind that lemonade would ever have caffeine in it to start, let alone an insane amount like Panera has.
I mean, it does help to read the sign when you're getting your drink. The caffeine content is fairly clearly indicated.

It's called Charged Lemonade; that wouldn't give you any pause?
Imagine just asking the employee there or looking up online or doing literally anything.
You kind of just proved my point. Stopping to think about it because of the name. At minimum I would not expect it to be regular lemonade with that name so I would want to know what makes it different.
Their point is that you wouldn't stop to think about it. It's branding, it's meaningless. It doesn't say "caffeine."
It is also next to other normal lemonades like it belongs there and not in the "coffee" section.
I would expect it to have caffeine content comparable to soda or tea. This 30 oz drink has about as much caffeine as four 12 oz Red Bulls
edit: It's not even behind the counter?? At least drip coffee, which is one of the only beverages that can exceed the caffeine content at issue here, doesn't come sweet enough by default that it's tempting to have a refill.
Drip coffee isn't kept behind the counter because people can overcaffeinate themselves.
First off tons of places put out drip coffee in crafts. Example Pizza Ranch. Many restaurants will just drop off a craft of coffee at your table if you ask for it.
You can literally fill an entire shopping cart with caffeine at the grocery store.

That provides no indication that there's drugs in the lemonade lol
So what do you do with your cell phone at night...
What do you call that thing when you plug it in to the device that's plugged into the wall and then plugs into the phone what do you call that. And then when that process is done you would say that your phone is fully what...
Also if you don't know something and you see something new, you do know that you can just ask about it. "This is called charged lemonade what's in it?"
Yeah man, it's electrically charged lemonade. Good take.
Charged, as in energy. And you know that. You're being obstinent.
Charged could mean the flavor, not stimulants, because it is a vague and meaningless term.
So you flavor your phone every night?
A person can literally just ask what's in it. You can do that every restaurant you can ask what's in everything.
You think the lemonade was electrified?
At no point in your life have you ever said that you need to electrify your phone. Or that your phone is electrified.
You know damn well charged meant energy. Be less a disappointment.
Well considering lemons have no caffeine to start, I'd assume it's like a regular coffee or soda. Not 12 of them.
It appears that it is like a regular coffee.
It's roughly the same as a cup of coffee. 8 fl oz cup of coffee is 96mg caffeine which puts a 20 fl oz cup at about 240mg and 30 fl oz at about 360mg. The charged lemonades have about 260 and 390, respectively. This is literally just a case of not reading the sign that clearly indicates how much caffeine is in each serving.
Soap doesn't have caffeine in it normally but I've known if caffeinated soap for about 20 years now.
And has had the caffeine content for both 20oz and 30oz listed on the sign hanging from the dispenser since they launched Charged Lemonade…
When was the last time you had fuckin caffeinated lemonade? How do you be careful about it when you ordered a thing that doesn't have caffeine literally anywhere else on earth?
There's generally a sign saying the amount of caffeine it has, and gets advertised as being caffeinated. Yes, people with food issues need to actually read stuff like that.

It's called Charged Lemonade.
Do you know what Hard Lemonade is?
Oh and gfuel makes caffeinated lemonade.
Yeah, hard ____ is an established thing. More than that, it isn't sold alongside non-alcoholic (lemonade, cider, seltzer, etc.). Gfuel is an energy drink, it makes sense that anything-flavored gfuel will have caffeine.
"Charged" means nothing. There's no such thing as "charged cider" or "charged seltzer." It looks like a generic "flavorblasted-"style marketing term to me.
Because it's an established thing. That's your defense. It's an established thing!
You asked when was the last time you heard of Lemonade with caffeine I gave you an example and you didn't like it.
I know of caffeinated root beer. Been around for much more than a decade. You going to make a federal case of that too because root beer isn't any established caffeinated drink.
Also, because so much of your debate is it's not a thing it's not established...

You do absolutely zero research. But you're more than happy to stand on your soapbox and proclaim what you think as fact.
