Panera now posts warning signs about caffeine after a customer dies after drinking a Charged Lemonade that contains a large amount of caffeine. The family is suing Panera.

I don't understand why they couldn't just sell normal lemonade beverages...

"clean source caffiene..." ???

Is the water Organic?

No type of water can be certified organic. Caffeine is usually taken from coffee beans used for decaf.

Several of the Panera locations in the Bay Area moved the lemonade behind the counter and provided a caffeine warning even before this article came out. It is like all things, you drink it in moderation.

I was surprised that there was that much caffeine in it. It is more like an energy drink. Coca-Cola has caffeine, but the lemonade has much more as well as other energy drink ingredients that could be dangerous.

When I signed for the free trial of the Unlimited drink club I almost tried the lemonade. I am glad that I didn't as I am very sensitive to caffeine.
