Amid two wrongful death lawsuits, Panera to pull the plug on “charged” drinks

A large previously contained nearly as much caffeine as the FDA’s daily safe limit.

@arstechnica

I was thinking "charged" meant something cool, like a triple shot of vodka or such. 😜

@zachvat @arstechnica It’s “charged” as in “with crimes.”
@arstechnica don't forget they made the olive oil coffee that makes you shit
@arstechnica Boo! Just when there was something to make you feel alive!
@Vanvidum @arstechnica it did quite the opposite for two people though
@arstechnica I average about 1,000mg caffeine a day at 201lb bodyweight between my coffee and my preworkout at 21 years old. I suppose it'll catch up to me someday but not right now
@servusdei @arstechnica damage to your cardiovascular system isn't something you should be so flippant about.
@servusdei @arstechnica What the fuck kind of preworkout shake are you drinking?
@WhiteCatTamer @arstechnica I mix together Hyde Nightmare (~350mg), creatine, pump boost (~200mg), and some BCAA energy (~150mg) and for coffees I usually have three or four
@servusdei @arstechnica Have you run that by your PCP?
@arstechnica panera death drink is over, i'll just have to stick to tetris gfuel and bang instead
@arstechnica Caffeine hits its limits pretty quick, and Taurene (guarana) is something you get over after a while when you realise it's sending you nuts.
@arstechnica and yet they got rid of the decaf diet pepsi, the fuckers
