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

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.

That’s less than I thought
No, it’s really just insane how much caffeine they put in this Panera bread lemonade.
Like seriously this is like drinking 4 energy drinks, literally more caffeine than a 5 hour energy shot and that’s at the small size. This is a horrifying amount of caffeine that they think people are drinking.
Edit: did the math because why not and drinking the 30 fl oz is like taking a 10 hour energy.
It’s about as caffeinated as an equal-size Dunkin iced coffee. It doesn’t seem insane to me. Panera has a non-coffee option for people who want to study with the cafe experience.
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.
