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.
And how many of them come in a 30oz cup? Or come right up to safe daily intake limits in a single can? A: none of them.
And if a company sold that shit with alcohol levels slamming right against safe daily intake levels in a single cup, and placed that shit right next to their regular lemonade with basically no information on the fact that it contains a shit ton of alcohol, didn’t have an alcohol taste and allowed free refills, they’d be getting lawsuits up the ass for much the same reason.
Jesus christ you couldn’t miss the point any harder if you were piss drunk at an archery range.
It’s not in a single cup though, that was my point. It’s in a giant fucking monstrosity of a cup, and this dude drank three of them.
This is like if someone drinks a case of hard lemonade and is surprised to get drunk!
I’ll cut some slack because the dude was mentally handicapped but this is entirely predictable.
