Panera Bread’s highly caffeinated Charged Lemonade is now blamed for a second death, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.
Dennis Brown, of Fleming Island, Florida, drank three Charged Lemonades from a local Panera on Oct. 9 and then suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on his way home, the suit says.
Brown, 46, had an unspecified chromosomal deficiency disorder, a developmental delay and a mild intellectual disability. He lived independently, frequently stopping at Panera after his shifts at a supermarket, the legal complaint says. Because he had high blood pressure, he did not consume energy drinks, it adds.
So people are choosing to drink that shit then sue the company? I’m no fan of big corporations, but this is some bullshit right there. Grown ups making their own decisions warrants a lawsuit now?
Found the libertarian.
😂 I don’t know anything about libertarians. I don’t even know the definition of this word.
Edit: fucking grown ass people can’t hold themselves from a drink. Get the fuck outta here with this braindead bullshit. Cry me a fucking river.
I think they assumed you were libertarian because you were giving off irrationally angry vibes while sucking up to a corporation.
Many fake libertarians behave that way. It truly was an honest mistake the other person made.
Probably. But I clearly stated that I’m not a fan of corporations, how was I sucking up to a corporation. I just stated what made sense to me. People choose to drink that shit. Grown ups do it, they believed whatever bullshit that corporation told them like idiots and got themselves in trouble then started bitching about it and sued the corporation. I mean sue them to the ground, I could really care less, but do it over something right, not your own idiocy (not you, them).
Yep the dude totally killed himself to get that sweet Panera payout. 🤦♂️
Ever heard of the Darwin award?
It’s what people don’t know that is causing these deaths. Charged lemonade has insane levels of caffeine. Right up to the FDAs safe daily intake limit in a single cup. People think a charged lemonade is roughly equivalent to a red bull. It is not. It is more like 4 red bulls in a large drink. And the company’s advertising itself compares the drink to a dark roast coffee, and slots the drink among their non-caffeine drinks.
The problem is that they are not making informed decisions. If you picked this stuff up randomly one day, you’re not gonna think that it has an insane amount of caffeine in it.
And they encourage people to have more by offering free refills. Remember that one cup goes right up against the FDAs safe intake limit, and that’s assuming you had no other caffeine that day. So they get a refill. Now they’re operating with twice as much caffeine in their system in that instance than the FDA considers safe for daily intake.
Quit your bullshit. Your lying by omission because you have some agenda to push. You report like Fox News does.
The amount of caffeine per fluid ounce, is on par with coffee. Same goes for red bull, be it on the higher side, but still. A redbull is a 12oz. drink, you can’t blindly compare that to a 30oz drink and pretend they’re the same. I can walk into Starbucks right now, get a 20oz drink that has 475mg of caffeine it’s just a venti Featured Blonde Roast… which per ounce, is twice the caffeine than RedBull.
There’s plenty of signs and verbiage, both in store and online, this stuff has caffeine.
