      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.
