It was a bizarre thing. Energy drinks are at least marketed as having extreme amounts of caffeine, but this has more, is sold at a bread store, and the caffeine is intentionally downplayed.
Aye, that's the weirdest part. Panera is like the basic mom place, coffee and bagels and sandwiches. Seems like a demographic mismatch, and not being blatent about the caffeine intake literally got people killed.
Point is, shouldn't have been a thing and should have gone away sooner.
Right? Like I feel like it's already run its entire promotional campaign course and they're announcing this just because they're "done with it" (for now at least. Who knows about next year).
Like it's been the 4-6 months or however long they originally planned it for and are just finishing up the cycle.
And how many basic moms go on about their coffee?
panera turned multiple accidental deaths into a marketing stunt to sell more lemonade. They should burn.
It's because caffeine is mote addictive than nicotine. You drink the chatged lemonade at Panera during your lunch break and think "wow! I felt great after my working kunch at Panera! I'm going back there more!" But that's just because you are caffeinated up to your gills without realizing it. It's the exact same as the story of a Chinese restaurant putting opium in the noodles to get people addicted to the shop.
I really hope you are joking.
Caffeine is nothing compared to nicotine.
I'm not sure I agree - I've quit smoking hundreds of times, I've never been able to quit caffeine.
You forgot this

I didn't forget. Deliberate choice.
My body and brain are mostly caffeine at this point, so I know a thing or two. I've also done more than a few rounds of cutting caffeine out for a few weeks or more.
In most people you don't have to have a protocol for caffeine withdrawal or eliminating it completely. It sucks really bad for about 48 hours with a headache that is just shy of a migraine but once you get past that, all that is left is being a little more tired and run down until your body starts to adjust.
I'm not sure if you meant that for me or the dorkus I responded to but I already knew most if not all of that.
I dunno, dude. My local Panera's is pretty much the only restaurant I've seen that has zero-caffine diet colas in their soda machines (was right next to said charged lemonade).
