So the signs posted on the drink that it's caffeinated aren't enough? So in this picture you don't see anything about caffeine?
What about on their website listing? Where it says several times that it has caffeine? Or has a warning label too. https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/menu/products/strawberry-lemon-mint-charged-lemonade.html
That warning has been there a while.
Correct. The only reason you would think to look for the caffeine content if it you've already made up your mind that Panera did nothing wrong, and desperately want to defend them. That tiny low contrast text is not even close to enough.
Nobody in their right mind checks the website listing for caffeine content in lemonade. The only reason you would is if you've already made up your mind that Panera did nothing wrong, and you desperately want to defend them. Lemonade. Doesn't. Have. Caffeine. If theirs does, it needs to be made abundantly clear, with large high contrast text. It should not be possible for someone to get multiple refills without noticing the warning.
You literally didn't look at either thing I linked did you. Your not interested in the facts at all...
I literally linked to a photo that shows the drink container in a Panera bread. It has the cup sizes and amount of caffeine listed on it. In quite readable text.
And on the website there's plenty of very obvious signs that say this is caffeinated. There's an entire section that states a warning that it's not meant for children or pregnant women.
What do you need for them to have like a police officer stand there and verbally warn you?
I posted that literal same exact picture like a dozen times the last time Panera killed someone with this drink, I'm quite familiar with the sign
I addressed the website point by saying that literally nobody has ever looked up what's in the lemonade at any restaurant when they walk up to the lemonade dispenser. Have you ever walked up to an iced tea dispenser at Braums and looked up the ingredients online to make sure there's no penicillin in it? Like, the things I expect in a Fuji Apple Cranberry lemonade are fuji apples, cranberries, and lemons. If Panera spiked it with deadly nightshade, they wouldn't be off the hook just because they put up a warning on their website. I'm not on their website when I'm in their restaurant, I'm in their restaurant.
Or just like, a sign that's prominent enough that literally anyone at all who isn't desperately looking for a reason to defend this company could notice it. Like, make it in big enough letters that when you show someone a picture of the sign and then take your phone away, they'll have noticed that there was caffeine.
