Man dies on way home from Panera after having three “charged” lemonades
A large lemonade contains up to 390 mg of caffeine, nearly the FDA's daily safe limit.

@arstechnica I think drinking three litres of lemonade with your lunch would probably do the job even without the caffeine
@arstechnica His last words? "Whoa, that is some killer lemonade."
Lemonade contains NO Caffeine.
Panera is simply adding huge amounts.
@arstechnica I drink a lot of coffee and I am reasonably good at math, but I couldn’t tell you how much caffeine I’m consuming, or what would be considered a dangerous amount.
@arstechnica another one? My god the marketing inside the stores must be atrocious.
@arstechnica They ought not be able to manufacture suicide lemonade or even use that much caffeine. People are idiots.
@arstechnica It's getting kind of stupid how susceptible humans are in general to tricks like just throwing higher numbers at things. Like cheap batteries that claim 4x the capacity of quality batteries and actually have 1/2 but people buy them because they have a higher number on the package. It actually works. A high end energy drink has less than 200mg PER CAN (~2.5 servings!) If you think you need more than that, you shouldn't be allowed to make your own decisions anymore.
@arstechnica so when is the DEA going to start shutting down Panera for distributing a controlled substance?
One less idiot for mankind.
One more idiot for lawyers.
@arstechnica This is like the second person this has happened to. The other was a lady with a heart condition. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna120785
