This is from their website
So sounds like they are advertising it as a coffee or energy drink alternative
That's fine and all but why so much? This stuff has 390mg caffeine, Red Bulls have 80mg. Such a weird thing for Panera of all places to do.
Looks like it has the same amount of caffeine as coffee. Guessing the large is 32 oz. That’s about on par with drinking 32oz of black coffee
It's about as much caffeine as a "typical coffee", but it's really about 2/3 as much caffeine as any real-world coffee. Dunkies, Starbucks, and Panera's own light roast is 50% stronger per oz than this drink.
Per fluid ounce it's actually not high. A 16 oz can of GFuel has 300mg.
Venti (20 oz.) Starbucks coffee has 410 mg of caffeine.

You guys got 0.6L coffees, wow.
No body tell him about "liter a cola".
The cold ventis are 24oz
I used to drink five 24 oz. coffees a day, then one day I did the math and realized I was literally drinking a fucking gallon of coffee. Now I'm down to one cup (8 oz.) per day. I feel great and it's nice to actually blink once in a while.
Coffee drinkers drink several times more caffeine on average than energy drink drinkers. A large coffee from Panera has over 400mg caffeine.
Red bull only has as much caffeine as two cans of coke?
Because they won't say "no" if somebody wants to buy a FucktonLarge size. Their regular is only 250mg.
Note, the number is conspicuously perfect that you could have one large every morning and still be within FDA recommendations. (400mg)
Now. What about before?
Apparently it is advertised like this...
That was before. The enhanced signs are paper printed taped messages saying it’s not recommended for pregnant women, people sensitive to caffeine, and children.
Right.
Fuck, I'd stay away just for those awful-sounding flavors. Can't lemonade just be lemon flavored?
/\ found the 90s standup comic
“What’s the deal with caffeine drinks these days!?”
Seinfeld stand up theme plays
I wasn't trying to be funny.
Yup, and the next 2 bubbler things to the left are regular (though I’m sure insanely sugary) lemonade and iced tea. So if you didn’t read carefully you wouldn’t know you were dosing on significant amounts of caffeine with your lunch or dinner.
It says "Charged" and specifically points out caffeine in 2 seperate spots on each sign. Imo if you don't see that, it's on you
We see so many ads every day that I tune out a lot of bullshit around marketing, I could easily see how a person grabbing a drink would only see the big 'mango yuzu citrus' and not think that was caffeinated. At first glance the label just looks like the calorie information, though it is true it should be the person's responsibility to notice, but I could see a reasonable person making this mistake easily.
I'm not sure what we need more than 9 distinct caffeine notifications in a 2x2 area, in a section where 99% of the drinks are caffeinated and have never been marked such, to suspect that maybe this is caffeinated, too.
There's a fine line between "it's Panera's fault" and "It's the girl's fault" that reads "holy shit, what a tragedy!"
