Panera Bread’s Charged Lemonade blamed for a second death, lawsuit alleges - eviltoast

Panera Bread’s highly caffeinated Charged Lemonade is now blamed for a second death, according to a lawsuit filed Monday.

Dennis Brown, of Fleming Island, Florida, drank three Charged Lemonades from a local Panera on Oct. 9 and then suffered a fatal cardiac arrest on his way home, the suit says.

Brown, 46, had an unspecified chromosomal deficiency disorder, a developmental delay and a mild intellectual disability. He lived independently, frequently stopping at Panera after his shifts at a supermarket, the legal complaint says. Because he had high blood pressure, he did not consume energy drinks, it adds.

    A large cup is 390mg of caffeine brother… no labels, and sometimes is right next to the normal lemonade.

    Want to take a guess at how much caffeine is in a large coffee?

      ~270mg is the usual.

      As a certified grad student loser, I would totally know. Adding a shot of espresso is around 65mg of caffeine per shot.

      Most I’ve done is an americano with 4 extra shots of espresso. This is reserved for being an idiot and needing a way to maximize sleep schedules.

      The difference is that the normal people know that 30 oz of coffee is too much coffee, and that 30 oz of lemonade is a normal amount of lemonade
