Apparently it is advertised like this...
That was before. The enhanced signs are paper printed taped messages saying it’s not recommended for pregnant women, people sensitive to caffeine, and children.
Right.
Yup, and the next 2 bubbler things to the left are regular (though I’m sure insanely sugary) lemonade and iced tea. So if you didn’t read carefully you wouldn’t know you were dosing on significant amounts of caffeine with your lunch or dinner.
It says "Charged" and specifically points out caffeine in 2 seperate spots on each sign. Imo if you don't see that, it's on you
We see so many ads every day that I tune out a lot of bullshit around marketing, I could easily see how a person grabbing a drink would only see the big 'mango yuzu citrus' and not think that was caffeinated. At first glance the label just looks like the calorie information, though it is true it should be the person's responsibility to notice, but I could see a reasonable person making this mistake easily.
I'm not sure what we need more than 9 distinct caffeine notifications in a 2x2 area, in a section where 99% of the drinks are caffeinated and have never been marked such, to suspect that maybe this is caffeinated, too.
There's a fine line between "it's Panera's fault" and "It's the girl's fault" that reads "holy shit, what a tragedy!"
Fuck, I'd stay away just for those awful-sounding flavors. Can't lemonade just be lemon flavored?
/\ found the 90s standup comic
“What’s the deal with caffeine drinks these days!?”

I wasn't trying to be funny.
