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.
So you show them a picture and then ask them to focus on the flavors, and then take the picture away and then ask a different question. You do understand why that’s not scientific and is unfair to the results.
Yes, because that’s actually what’s physically happening when someone walks up to the lemonade dispenser and grabs a drink, then walks away and wonders why their heart is palpating. They walk up to the dispenser and decide on what flavor looks best, and only after they’ve left and no longer see the sign do they have reason to suspect that they’ve had caffeine.
