    Yeah I doubt most coffee/tea/soda drinkers could tell you how much caffeine is in their drinks. 260mg means nothing to me without a baseline

        Panera Charged Lemonade: ~100mg/250mL

        Panera Dark Roast Coffee: ~100mg/250mL

        Panera Light Roast Coffee: ~162mg/250mL

        ref

        Truth is, typical coffee at a coffee shop blows this charged lemonade out of the water on caffeine content.

        Either Panera successfully marketed it and it was a tragic mistake, or Panera’s marketing at that location was messed up and they are at fault for her not being reasonably informed that it was a fully-caffeinated beverage.

          Most coffee has a lot higher than ~100mg/mL if we’re being honest unless it’s brewed weak or watered down with a lot of milk/cream.
