This is THE SECOND person who died from drinking this.

    Well damn. Wish I could try it, especially before they inevitably discontinue if these cases are actually because of it. Siiigh.

    This seems like something that could’ve been avoided with clearer labeling, IE “Contains 300 mg of caffeine avoid if you have a health condition” or similar.

      We put up signs literally everywhere after the first incident (front door, coffee bar, drive-thru, drive-thru menu, and counter) in like 30 point font that says how much caffeine and that it isn’t recommended for (very long scary list of all possible) sensitive groups… The first incident was avoidable, but this time is on them…

        It was pretty clear to me even before, it literally says “charged” lemonade. The word charged immediately implies it’s not a normal lemonade and something is being added to it. There has to be a line for personal responsibility at some point.

          I mean, marketing is bullshit, so I don’t blame people for not caring about product names.

          I’ve had “fire hot” and “thermonuclear” hot sauces that were barely hot.

          I’ve had “unlimited” data plans that were limited.

          I’ve had cereal that’s “part of a balanced breakfast”, but only if you eat half a dry cup in skim milk with no other sugar in your meal.

          People are used to marketing lying to them about everything. Not saying they shouldn’t pay attention, but not gonna blame them for assuming the name of a drink is just bullshit.

          I agree that something should click in the brain saying, “hey what’s this?”

          I disagree because the general population is fucking retarded.
