honestly the statement "contains as much caffeine as our dark roast coffee" is misleading since that would be comparing an 8oz coffee to 8oz of lemonade. if you drink the coffee you're most likely getting a cup that is 8-16oz. however the standard soft drink size is 20-30oz which would mean one cup is basically your daily serving of caffeine.
if i saw the sign saying "same strength as our coffee" i would assume it's one cup of coffee is equal to one cup of lemonade. who would only fill their cups half way? it's insane to sell one cup that is almost 100% the daily value while it's known bad side effects can happen after 400mg.
That cup is the largest available. I think other large coffee beverages might be in a similar quantity. There are smaller cups and sizes you can order.
The root of everything here is that hidden heart condition. Isn't there a way we can make screening for it more common or mandatory?
Panera sells their coffee is a 16 and 20 fl oz sizes, not 8-16. For the dark roast coffee in a 20, it has 268 mg of caffeine.
They sell the charged lemonades in 20 and 30 do oz sizes. The 20 size generally has 260 mg of caffeine, slightly less than an identical volume of coffee, with the exception of the drive-through servings which is even lower due to ice.
What reasonable person would not consider a nearly identical caffeine per volume to be a fair interpretation of “contains as much caffeine as our dark roast coffee” when both can be ordered in the same 20 ounce size?
