      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.

        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.
